NHL Central Scouting has released its final rankings ahead of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft and it features 41 players from the QMJHL, 35 skaters and 6 goaltenders. Four players are ranked among the Top 20 North American prospects: forward Maddox Dagenais of the Quebec Remparts (15th), defenseman Tommy Bleyl of the Moncton Wildcats (17th), defenseman Xavier Villeneuve of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (18th), and forward Egor Shilov of the Victoriaville Tigres (19th). Bleyl has made a significant jump, having been ranked 35th in the midterm rankings. The QMJHL could therefore see four of its players selected in the first round in June, compared to three last season (Caleb Desnoyers 4th, Justin Carbonneau 19th, and Bill Zonnon 22nd). Forward Liam Lefebvre of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens is ranked 38th, while defenseman Ch

Inspired by its partner BMR, the QMJHL highlights every month student-athletes who, through hard work and perseverance, are building their future both on the ice and in school. The selection is made following a consultation conducted by the Director of the QMJHL Education Program, Valérie Monette, with the teams' educational advisors. "These student-athletes caught our attention as much for their brilliance on the ice as for their commitment to their studies, said Ms. Monette. The QMJHL office, team managers and players are working together to build a solid foundation for the future, both in sports, academics and personal development. Yes, we strive for excellence in sports, but above all, we strive to develop strong and committed citizens." The 18 recipients of the month were selected by the teams' educational advisors, who play a central role in the educational development of our players. Witnessing their perseverance on a daily basis, they support them in building a solid path, g

The Dogs and the Cats are both coming off series that went the distance. The question of who will win this latest postseason battle between the two clubs will start being answered when Shawinigan travels to Rouyn-Noranda to kick of this best-of-seven Quarter-Final series tonight. It was all going smoothly for the Huskies in round one until it suddenly wasn’t. A young, determined Gatineau squad overcame a three-game deficit to force a seventh and deciding contest in Rouyn-Noranda, a match that saw the Huskies prevail, sending them to round two for the fourth straight year. Thomas Verdon continued on his roll from the regular season, leading the club in scoring through the first round and notching a pair of game-winners, including the overtime clincher in game three. Samuel Beauchemin and Nathan Langlois were also key drivers offensively, while Benjamin Brunelle capped the series off with a game seven hat trick. Rookie Jayden Pominville was a constant presence in front of the opposing n

The QMJHL is proud to announce today the nominees from each of the 18 teams for the 2025-2026 Marcel-Robert Trophy, presented by BMR. This prestigious honor is awarded annually to the student-athlete of the year—the player who best combines on-ice performance with academic success. “In the QMJHL, we talk about student-athletes, and the order of those words is important,” noted Commissioner Mario Cecchini. “From ages 16 to 20, you are first and foremost a student, and our teams do everything they can to properly support their players in achieving academic success. The 18 nominees for the Marcel-Robert Trophy have done an outstanding job of balancing school and hockey. They are role models for current and future QMJHL players.” “As chairman of the selection committee and a former recipient of the Marcel-Robert Trophy, I have great admiration for all student-athletes who excel both on the ice and in the classroom,”

The stories coming out of the Eastern Conference have been told. Now, we discuss the teams of the Western Conference, where there is no shortage of storylines. Per Will MacLaren   Rouyn-Noranda Huskies - 40-17-5-2, 87 Pts - 1st in West, 3rd overall After back-to-back second place finishes in the West, the Huskies decided to do the one thing few expected this season; claim top spot in the conference. The story behind the club’s success is, in many ways, no different than what followers had come to expect in previous campaigns. There always seems to be at least one player in Rouyn-Noranda who steps up as the key driver offensively. This year, it’s 20-year-old Thomas Verdon, who finished third in league scoring. Complimenting him has been fellow veteran Samuel Beauchemin and Swiss stud Lars Steiner, who turned his game up yet another notch during the final weeks of the seaso

Maxim Massé (forward), Jordan Tourigny (defenseman), Rudy Guimond (goaltender) and Ivan Ryabkin (rookie) receive the honors  Forward of the Month Maxim Massé – Chicoutimi Saguenéens – 9GP, 6G, 16A, 22Pts With a lot to play for down the stretch, Maxim Massé truly saved the best of his regular season for last. The 19-year-old from Rimouski, Quebec went on an offensive tear during the final weeks of the campaign along with the rest of his Sagueneens teammates. The fourth-year veteran recorded multiple points in five outings. The biggest highlight occurred on March 7th versus Charlottetown. Massé set a new personal benchmark with seven points while tying a league record with a +8 rating. He also produced three powerplay tallies during the month while his final goal of the regular season not only tied him with Justin Carbonneau for the league lead with 51, it was his eighth gam
