For the first time ever, Philippe Veilleux is representing Canada.<\/p>\n

The Val-d’Or Foreurs star was selected to Canada’s roster for the 2026 World Juniors Summer Showcase in Windsor where he suited up Wednesday night in a 5-3 loss to Sweden.<\/p>\n

“It feels good to be here,” Veilleux said. I’m grateful for the opportunity. It’s a privilege to be here so that I can prove myself and show what I can do.”<\/p>\n

When you look at his offensive output over the past two seasons, his call-up is thoroughly deserved. He has registered back-to-back 40-goal seasons and recorded point totals of 87 and 96. This past season, he finished second in QMJHL scoring.<\/p>\n

“I want to show that I am a good player, a good teammate,” Veilleux said. “I want to show my skills, what I can do on the ice. I wanted to take a step to my game and I think that’s what I did this summer. I trained hard for this opportunity.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, the 19-year-old has gone undrafted twice in the NHL but with a strong showcase this week, and with the hope he can make Canada’s World Juniors roster, an entry-level deal likely isn’t to far away.<\/p>\n

Couple that with the fact he is returning to the Foreurs for one last season, a lot of scouts will have their eyes on what the native of St-Bruno de Mortarvi does in 2026-27.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy about the decision I made and we’re going to have a great team next week. I can’t wait to get started.”<\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Halifax Mooseheads have signed goaltender Jack Fichthorn<\/a><\/span> to a QMJHL Scholarship and Development Agreement, adding an experienced netminder to the club\u2019s crease ahead of the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

Fichthorn, a 19-year-old from Darien, Connecticut, was selected by the Mooseheads in the third round, 43rd overall, at the 2026 QMJHL Entry Draft. The left-catching goaltender joins Halifax after spending last season with the Sioux City Musketeers of the United States Hockey League.<\/p>\n

He appeared in 36 regular-season games with Sioux City where he elevated his play in the postseason, appearing in five playoff games while recording a 2.65 goals against average and a .917 save percentage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to add Jack to our organization,\u201d <\/strong>said Mooseheads General Manager Cam Russell<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a competitive goaltender who brings valuable experience and will be a great addition to our team this season.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fichthorn is expected to play an important role in Halifax\u2019s goaltending tandem during the 2026-27 campaign as the Mooseheads continue to build depth and competition at the position.<\/p>\n

Following his junior career, Fichthorn is committed to continuing his hockey and academic path at NCAA Division 1 Sacred Heart University. He joins fellow American draft pick Jackson Smail, free agent Brady Smith and Austrian imports Paul Sintschnig & Nico Uschan<\/strong><\/a> as players to have signed with Halifax in recent days. He will join the Mooseheads for Goodlife Fitness Training Camp on August 19th<\/sup> in Dartmouth, NS.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Throughout the summer, we\u2019ll be looking back at the QMJHL careers of our 20-year-old players, who will be moving on to new opportunities next season. Today, we feature the graduating players of the Halifax Mooseheads.<\/p>\n

Connor MacPherson<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Ontario native, MacPherson took a winding path before arriving in Halifax for the 2025-26 season. He spent two seasons with Leamington in the GOJHL, one with Penticton in the BCHL, and another at the University of New Hampshire<\/span> in the NCAA before earning an invitation to the Mooseheads’ training camp. He made the team and wrapped up his 20-year-old season with 26 points (12G, 14A) in 64 games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Samuel Rousseau<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selected by the Huskies in the 12th round of the 2021 QMJHL Draft, 208th overall, Rousseau has every reason to be proud of his junior career, which comes to an end after 193 QMJHL games (80 points). Rousseau appeared in two games with the Huskies as a 16-year-old but truly made his mark with the St-Eustache Vikings in the QMAAA, where he dominated with 58 points in 39 games. He earned a full-time roster spot in Rouyn-Noranda in 2022-23 and remained there for three full seasons, helping the Huskies reach the playoff semifinals in 2025. The 6-foot, 198-pound winger was then traded to the rebuilding Mooseheads, where his leadership, work ethic, and production\u201428 points (12G, 16A) in just 34 games\u2014made him a valuable addition. He will continue his career next season at Long Island University.<\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]From Halifax Mooseheads<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Halifax Mooseheads have officially secured both of their selections from the 2026 CHL Import Draft, as forward Paul Sintschnig<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> and defenceman Nico Uschan<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> have signed QMJHL Scholarship and Development Agreements ahead of the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

“We’re very excited to officially welcome Paul and Nico to the Mooseheads organization,” said General Manager Cam Russell<\/strong><\/span>. “Both players bring a strong combination of skill, competitiveness, and international experience, and we believe they’ll be great additions to our lineup and our dressing room. We look forward to helping them continue their development in Halifax and are eager to see the impact they can make this season.”<\/p>\n

The Mooseheads traded up with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar prior to the June 30 CHL Import Draft to acquire the second overall selection, which they used to choose highly regarded Austrian forward Paul Sintschnig. The 17-year-old from Klagenfurt, Austria, enters the season as an NHL Draft-eligible prospect after gaining valuable experience at multiple levels during the 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n

Sintschnig appeared in 32 games with Villacher SV of the ICEHL, Austria’s premier professional hockey league, and also represented his country at the IIHF World Junior Championship Division IA tournament. Across all levels, he collected 35 points in 64 games. The 6-foot-1, 176-pound left-shot forward has already made history as one of the youngest players ever to debut for the Austrian senior national team, earning his first appearance at just 16 years old.<\/p>\n

Halifax later selected Nico Uschan with the 81st overall pick in the second round of the import draft. The 19-year-old defenceman was a teammate of Sintschnig’s with hometown club Villacher SV in the ICEHL.<\/p>\n

Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing 185 pounds, Uschan is a left-shot blueliner expected to provide a steady veteran presence on the Mooseheads’ blue line. His professional experience and mature defensive game should make him a valuable addition to Halifax’s backend heading into the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

Both players will be with the Mooseheads when training camp opens on August 19th at the team practice facility in Dartmouth.<\/p>\n

Throughout the summer, we\u2019ll be looking back at the QMJHL careers of our 20-year-old players, who will be moving on to new opportunities next season. Today, we feature the graduating players of the Moncton Wildcats.<\/p>\n

Rudy Guimond<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guimond\u2019s time in Moncton and the QMJHL lasted only two seasons, but what an impact he made. The Pointe-Claire native was playing for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders in the USHL when he decided to join the Wildcats early in the 2024-25 season. He posted a perfect 16-0 regular-season record (1.73 GAA, .940 SV%), then won eight of his nine playoff starts\u2014serving as Mathis Rousseau\u2019s backup\u2014to help the Wildcats capture the Gilles-Courteau Trophy. He was even better in 2025-26, finishing with a 40-7-3 record, a 2.27 goals-against average, and a .922 save percentage to earn the Patrick-Roy Trophy as the QMJHL\u2019s Goaltender of the Year. Once again, the Wildcats advanced to the league final, this time falling to the Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens. Guimond\u2019s 56 wins in just two seasons rank fifth in Wildcats history, while his .927 career save percentage and 2.14 goals-against average are franchise records. He will continue both his academic and hockey career at Harvard University next season.<\/p>\n

Preston Lounsbury<\/strong><\/p>\n

A fourth-round selection by the Wildcats in 2021, Lounsbury spent his entire junior career in Moncton, appearing in 262 games. Only Alex Mercier, Devon MacAusland, Simon Lalibert\u00e9, and Steve Bernier have played more games in franchise history. A Moncton area native, Lounsbury spent most of his 16-year-old season with the Moncton Flyers U18 AAA before earning a full-time role with the Wildcats. He followed that with seasons of 28, 57, 44, and 42 points, highlighted by winning the Frank-J.-Selke Trophy (now the David-Desharnais Trophy) as the QMJHL\u2019s Most Sportsmanlike Player in 2023-24. The following season, he played a key role in the Wildcats\u2019 Gilles-Courteau Trophy championship, recording 14 points, including eight goals, in 19 playoff games. He also returned to the league final in 2026, where Moncton fell to Chicoutimi. Wearing No. 20, Lounsbury finished his Wildcats career ranked 20th in franchise scoring with 172 points (67 goals, 105 assists) in 262 games. He will attend College of the Holy Cross next season.<\/p>\n

Alex Mercier<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercier is another player who etched his name into Wildcats history, setting franchise records with 284 regular-season games and 59 playoff appearances. He was playing for S\u00e9minaire Saint-Fran\u00e7ois U18 AAA when Moncton selected him in the second round of the 2021 QMJHL Draft. After returning to SSF for 19 more games, he made the jump to the Wildcats full-time. His offensive breakout began during his 18-year-old season, as he produced 44, 64, and 63 points over his final three campaigns. His 213 career points rank 12th in franchise history. Like Guimond and Lounsbury, Mercier played a vital role in the Wildcats\u2019 2025 championship run, contributing nine points in 19 playoff games while providing smart, hard-nosed play. He delivered another outstanding postseason in 2026, recording 11 points in 21 playoff contests as the Wildcats once again reached the league final. Mercier will continue his career at Merrimack College next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

By Martin Therriault<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Have a great 2026\u20132027 season, QMHL fans \u2013 already!<\/p>\n

Although the season doesn\u2019t get underway until September 18, several current and former QMJHL players will be competing in a number of international tournaments over the coming weeks, including the 2026 World Junior Summer Showcase.<\/p>\n

Which players should you keep an eye on during this preparatory tournament for the World Junior Hockey Championship\u2014featuring Canada, the United States, Finland, and Sweden\u2014running from Sunday through Saturday, Aug. 1, in Windsor, Ontario? To mark the occasion, we\u2019re offering 10 players to watch from each of the four teams.<\/p>\n

The 2027 World Junior Championship will take place from Dec. 26, 2026, to Jan. 5, 2027, in Edmonton and Red Deer, AB.<\/p>\n

Canada<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

1- Caleb Desnoyers, forward, Moncton Wildcats<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only player in this group to have competed in the 2026 World Junior Championship in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, Caleb Desnoyers helped Canada win the bronze medal with six assists in seven games. This time around, the Moncton Wildcats star will be one of the key offensive threats on a team that will feature eight players from last year\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n

U-17 World Challenge, U-18 World Championship, Hlinka-Gretzky Cup, Gilles-Courteau Trophy in 2024\u201325: Desnoyers knows how to win. He just had an incredible season in Moncton, where he racked up 78 points in just 45 games.<\/p>\n

With incredible skills, faceoffs, playmaking, and defensive play, Desnoyers is expected to be one of the most well-rounded players on the Canadian team.<\/p>\n

2- Lucas Beckman, goaltender, Cape Breton Eagles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traded from the Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens to the Cape Breton Eagles over the summer, Lucas Beckman has the advantage of having helped Canada win the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup in 2024 alongside several members of this team. And he just had an incredible 2025\u201326 season, lifting the Gilles-Courteau Trophy with the Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens.<\/p>\n

Traded by the Baie-Comeau Drakkar after Christmas, his stats in Chicoutimi speak for themselves: a 13-1-0 record, a .940 save percentage, and a 1.52 goals-against average. Fans of the Canadian junior team will see a very composed goaltender with excellent reflexes and above-average anticipation.<\/p>\n

3- William Lacelle, goaltender, Blainville-Boisbriand Armada<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2024, William Lacelle participated in the U-18 Summer National Selection Camp for the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup alongside Beckman. He remained under the microscope of Hockey Canada officials thanks to an excellent 2025\u20132026 season.<\/p>\n

After being traded from the Rimouski Oc\u00e9anic to the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada during the trade deadline, the Gatineau native led the QMJHL in shutouts with seven. He also ranked in the top five in all major categories: second in save percentage (.917), fourth in goals-against average (2.49), and fifth in wins (27).<\/p>\n

Despite his smaller size, Lacelle more than makes up for it with his incredible explosiveness on his skates and a high level of intelligence. He\u2019s also a fierce competitor, excelling particularly on the glove side.<\/p>\n

4- Samuel Meloche, goaltender, Saint John Sea Dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 6’3”, Samuel Meloche will be the tallest goaltender on the Canadian team. This will be his first international experience with Hockey Canada. The new member of the Saint John Sea Dogs finished second in the QMJHL in wins during the 2025\u201326 season, with 33. Over the past three seasons, he helped his team\u2014the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies\u2014reach the league semifinals with the third-best GAA in the playoffs (2.52).<\/p>\n

Meloche is tall, but he also moves very well and can make several spectacular saves in front of the net. His competitive nature is also an asset for the Buffalo Sabres’ prospect.<\/p>\n

5- Philippe Veilleux, forward, Val-d’Or Foreurs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Justice has been served for Philippe Veilleux. Although he went undrafted in the NHL draft for the past two years, he finished among the top five scorers in the QMJHL twice during his career: third in 2024\u201325 with 87 points, and second last year with 43 goals and 96 points in 64 games.<\/p>\n

Veilleux may only be 5 feet 10 inches tall, but he excels in every aspect of the game. He has an excellent shot and can deliver sensational passes to his teammates on the Val-d’Or Foreurs. The 19-year-old forward has also shown significant improvement on the defensive end.<\/p>\n

6- Xavier Villeneuve, defenceman, Blainville-Boibriand Armada<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well known to Hockey Canada coaching staff. Xavier Villeneuve played a key role in the team\u2019s gold-medal victory at the 2025 World U-18 Championship, recording eight points in seven games. Struggling with injuries during the second half of the last season, he recorded only 38 points in 37 games, but he rebounded in the playoffs with 14 points in 17 games. He helped Blainville-Boisbriand to advance to the QMJHL semifinals.<\/p>\n

7- Alex Huang, defenceman, Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alex Huang is another regular at Hockey Canada events, having won gold at the 2024 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup and the 2025 World U-18 Championship. The Rosem\u00e8re native had a near-perfect 2025\u20132026 season, notably helping the Saguen\u00e9ens win the Gilles-Courteau Trophy for the first time since 1994.<\/p>\n

Statistically speaking, Huang finished second among QMJHL defensemen in scoring with 70 points in 62 games. He added to that total during the playoffs, recording 20 points in 19 games.<\/p>\n

The Nashville Predators prospect in the NHL stands out for his phenomenal intelligence on the ice. He consistently reads the game well to create scoring opportunities and join the rush, while making brilliant use of his excellent skating ability. Huang has also gained physical strength over the past year, which has further helped him in physical battles along the boards.<\/p>\n

United States<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

8- Tommy Bleyl, defenceman, Moncton Wildcats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unknown at this time last year, every QMJHL fan knows Tommy Bleyl now. The QMJHL\u2019s leading scorer among defensemen\u2014both during the regular season (81 points in 63 games) and in the playoffs (28 points in 21 games)\u2014 even broke Gaston Therrien\u2019s 48-year-old record for points by a rookie defenseman. With 68 assists, he now holds the Wildcats\u2019 record, which led to him being drafted in the first round (31st overall) of the last NHL Draft by the Predators.<\/p>\n

Bleyl has represented the United States once on the international stage, at the 2024 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup. This time, he\u2019ll be looking to impress his coaches for the 2027 World Junior Championship with his exceptional puck-carrying ability, creativity, and quick execution in moving the puck at the blue line. The New York State native has also greatly improved his ability to box out his opponents in front of his net.<\/p>\n

9- Jamie Glance, forward, Saint John Sea Dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember that name. A potential first-round prospect for the 2027 NHL Draft, Jamie Glance will join the Sea Dogs as the leading scorer in the U.S. U18 National Team Development Program, having tallied 56 points in 62 games. He will be one of only three players eligible for the NHL Draft for the first time to be on the United States roster.<\/p>\n

A 5-foot-11 winger, Glance is very skilled with the puck and can set up difficult plays for his teammates. He plays with a high level of effort and can drive to the net to create scoring opportunities.<\/p>\n

Sweden<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

10- Torkel Jennersj\u00f6, forward, Blainville-Boisbriand Armada<\/strong><\/p>\n

Torkel Jennersj\u00f6 has been a regular member of the Swedish national team for several seasons, having played on the U-16, U-17, and U-18 teams. Notably, he was part of the team that won the silver medal at the 2025 U-18 World Championship.<\/p>\n

Jennersj\u00f6 tallied 28 points, including 14 goals, in his first QMJHL season with the Armada. He had a particularly strong playoff run, recording 10 points in 17 games, during which he earned the trust of head coach Alexandre Jacques. Despite standing at 5’10”, the Swedish player brings a high level of intensity to the ice. He can throw his shoulders into the play and drive to the net to pick up rebounds, but he also knows how to stand out with his wrist shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Eight players who was in the QMJHL last season are among the 32 players invited by Hockey Canada to the 2026 World Junior Summer Showcase, set for July 26-Aug. 1 at the WFCU Centre in Windsor, Ontario.<\/p>\n

Three of the four goaltenders invited play in the QMJHL: Lucas Beckman (Montr\u00e9al, QC\/Cape Breton Eagles), William Lacelle (Gatineau, QC\/Blainville-Boisbriand Armada) and Samuel Meloche (Les C\u00e8dres, QC\/Saint John Sea Dogs).<\/p>\n

The only member of this group to have represented Canada at the 2026 World Junior Hockey Championship, Caleb Desnoyers (Saint-Hyacinthe, QC\/Moncton Wildcats) will also be present. Philippe Veilleux (Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC) of the Val-d’Or Foreurs will be the other forward among QMJHL representatives.<\/p>\n

On defence, the QMJHL will be represented by Alex Huang (Rosem\u00e8re, QC\/Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens), Charlie Morrison (Miramichi, NB\/Qu\u00e9bec Remparts) and Xavier Villeneuve (Laval, QC\/Blainville-Boisbriand Armada).<\/p>\n

The player selection process was led by Alan Millar (Tottenham, ON), general manager of the National Junior Team, alongside Byron Bonora (Brooks, AB), Program of Excellence (POE) head scout, and Dave Brown (Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON\/Erie, OHL), assistant general manager of the National Junior Team. Scott Salmond (Creston, BC), Hockey Canada\u2019s senior vice-president of high performance and hockey operations, and Benoit Roy (Sudbury, ON), director of hockey
\noperations, also provided input.<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to announce the 32 players who will attend the World Junior Summer Showcase in Windsor as we begin our preparation for the 2027 IIHF World Junior Championship,\u201d said Millar. \u201cThis is an important opportunity for our staff to evaluate a talented group of players against top international competition while continuing to build our identity as a team. We’re looking forward to seeing this group compete and bringing this showcase to Windsor in front of
\npassionate Canadian hockey fans.”<\/p>\n

A first-round pick \u2013 fourth overall \u2013 for the Utah Mammoth in the 2025 NHL Draft, Desnoyers has just completed his third season with the Wildcats. He racked up 78 points in 45 matches and added a further 25 in 21 play-off fixtures. The winner of the Gilles-Courteau Trophy in 2024\u20132025 also recorded six assists in seven matches for the Canadian team at the 2026 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship, held in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Along with Lacelle, Veilleux is one of three players invited to the World Junior Summer Showcase who have not been drafted into the NHL. This is the second consecutive season in which he has finished in the top five of the QMJHL\u2019s scoring charts. In 2025\u20132026, he was the league\u2019s second-highest points scorer, with 43 goals and 96 points in 64 games.<\/p>\n

Lacelle spent his most recent season with the Rimouski Oc\u00e9anic and the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. He finished second in the league for save percentage (0.917), fourth for goals against average (2.49), and fifth for wins (27).<\/p>\n

Traded to Cape Breton this summer, Beckman led the Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens to the Gilles-Courteau Trophy in 2025\u20132026. In particular, he led the league in goals-against average, at 1.98. Having started the season with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, the Montreal native posted a record of 17-15-3, with a save percentage of .917 and a goals-against average of 2.60. Only with Chicoutimi, he recorded 13 wins and one defeat in 14 games, with a save percentage of .940 and a goals-against average of 1.52. Beckman was a fourth-round pick, 97th overall, for the Ottawa Senators in the 2025 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

Now a member of the Saint John Sea Dogs, Meloche spent the first three seasons of his career playing for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. In 2025\u201326, he posted a record of 33\u201313\u20133, with a GAA of 2.75 and a save percentage of .897. The goaltender from Les C\u00e8dres was a fourth-round pick, 116th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2025 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

Winner of the Gilles-Courteau Trophy with Chicoutimi, Huang was the QMJHL\u2019s second-highest-scoring defenceman. His 70 points in 62 games represent by far the best season of his career, 30 points clear of his previous personal best. The Nashville Predators selected him in the fourth round, 122nd overall, in the 2025 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

A 6-foot-3 defenceman, Morrison has spent the last two seasons with the Qu\u00e9bec Remparts. He recorded 13 points in 45 games last season, with a plus-minus rating of +8. He was drafted in the third round, 77th overall, in the most recent NHL Draft by the New York Rangers.<\/p>\n

The team will practice July 27 and 28 before taking on Sweden on July 29, Finland on July 30 and the United States on Aug. 1.<\/p>\n

Antoine Dorion<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After a strong season with the Hawkesbury Hawks of the CCHL, Dorion was invited to the Qu\u00e9bec Remparts\u2019 training camp in 2023, where he ultimately spent three seasons. The Franco-Ontarian forward and son of Pierre Dorion, the former general manager of the Ottawa Senators, developed into a reliable energy player in Qu\u00e9bec, even convincing the St. Louis Blues to select him in the seventh round of the 2024 NHL Draft. After a junior career that produced 64 points in 165 games, Dorion will play for Maryville University next season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mathias Loiselle<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After splitting the 2022\u201323 season between the Richelieu Patriotes in U18 AA and Polyvalente Marcel-Landry in U18 D1, Loiselle was invited to the Remparts\u2019 training camp in 2023. He spent most of the 2023\u201324 season at the collegiate level with the St. Lawrence College Lions, while also appearing in 10 games with the Remparts. Then, following an 18-point season in 63 games with Qu\u00e9bec, Loiselle began his 20-year-old season with Longueuil in the LHJAAAQ before finishing the year with the Remparts. He even took part in the Colorado Avalanche\u2019s development camp a few weeks ago. The author of 43 points in 110 QMJHL games, Loiselle has committed to the University of Vermont.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cal Uens<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Uens, an Ontario native, spent four seasons in the OHL with Owen Sound and Kingston before being invited to the Remparts\u2019 training camp in August 2025. The undersized defenceman of 5’9″ and 158 pounds quickly became the Remparts\u2019 quarterback on the blue line, recording 49 points (13 goals, 36 assists) this season. His total ranked seventh among QMJHL defencemen in scoring. Uens will return home next season to continue his career at Queen\u2019s University.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Yanick Lemay, general manager of the Drummondville Voltigeurs, is proud to announce the appointment of Mathieu Gravel as head coach of the Voltigeurs.<\/p>\n

Having first joined Drummondville in 2016 as part of the coaching staff led by Dominique Ducharme, Mathieu Gravel returned to the Voltigeurs in the summer of 2022 following five successful seasons with the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Patriotes. As an assistant coach, he helped the Patriotes win the U SPORTS Canadian championship in 2022.<\/p>\n

Since his return, he has played an active role in the cultural shift initiated by the organisation, contributing to player development, the establishment of high standards and the team\u2019s victory in the Gilles-Courteau Trophy in 2024.<\/p>\n

On the international stage, Gravel will serve as an assistant coach for the Canadian team for the second straight year at the Under-17 World Challenge, taking place Nov. 1-7, 2026 in Oakville, Ontario.<\/p>\n

Having been involved on a day-to-day basis in the players\u2019 development and the running of the team for the past three seasons, he will continue the work he has begun by taking charge of the Voltigeurs today.<\/p>\n

\u201cMathieu was the obvious choice for us. Since returning to the organisation in 2022, he has played a key role in developing our players and establishing the culture we wanted to build. He is a passionate, extremely well-prepared coach who shares our vision for hockey and our values. He knows our organisation, our staff and our players, which will ensure a smooth transition.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis experience in the QMJHL, his highly successful stint with the UQTR Patriotes and all the work he has done within our organisation give us a total confidence in his abilities. Mathieu has earned this opportunity and we are delighted to entrust him with the reins of our team”, said Yanick Lemay, General Manager of the Voltigeurs.<\/p>\n

Mathieu Gravel is embracing this new challenge with great gratitude.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a tremendous honour to become head coach of the Voltigeurs, Gravel said. Since arriving in Drummondville, I have had the privilege of working with passionate people and being part of a group of exceptional players. We have built something special over the last few years and I am very keen to continue this work. I would like to thank Yanick Lemay and the whole organisation for their trust.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m looking forward to working with our players again, continuing to develop them and doing everything I can to ensure our team remains competitive night after night.”<\/p>\n
