Gatineau Olympiques

We’re just about closing out our introductory work, and the unveiling of the first name on our Top 25 Under 25 ranking is right around the corner. But before we hit that mark, there’s one more step back to take, and a handful of players left to recognize — those who still got some love on a smattering of rankings, but didn’t gather up quite enough steam to crack the final ranking, in the end. Better luck next time. Devin Kaplan With one 25th place vote, Kaplan still has a fan among the staff rankers (looking at you, Thomas), but his stock has been dropping over the last few iterations of this ranking. There’s still plenty of reason for optimism that he might turn it around in his second pro season with the Phantoms —

Throughout the summer, we’ll 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 Saint John Sea Dogs. Maxime Côté Côté, a Sherbrooke native, had the opportunity to be drafted by his hometown team, the Phoenix, in the 186th overall position in 2021. At the time, he was playing Midget Espoir hockey with the Triolet Harfangs. The following season, he moved up to U18 AAA with the Magog Cantonniers, while also playing one game with the Phoenix. He earned a full-time spot in the QMJHL in 2022-23, and after two and a half seasons in Sherbrooke, he was traded to Moncton midway through the 2024-25 season. He quickly found his footing with the Wildcats, recording 27 points in 33 games before adding six points in 19 playoff contests to help them capture the Gilles-Courteau Trophy. Côté then began his 20-year-old season in Gatineau before being traded t

Throughout the summer, we’ll 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 Newfoundland Regiment. Justin Larose Larose chose to delay his arrival at the University of Michigan by one year in order to play his 20-year-old season in Newfoundland, and he has no reason to regret that decision. The winger set a career high with 88 points (32 goals, 56 assists), finishing fourth in QMJHL scoring. His 40 power-play points and 292 shots on goal both ranked second in the league. Larose helped the Regiment finish third in the Eastern Conference and reach the second round of the playoffs in the franchise's inaugural season. It was a fitting conclusion to his junior career, as he appeared in 321 QMJHL games, tied for 52nd-most in league history. A second-round pick of the Tigres in 2021, Larose spent three and a half seasons in Victoriaville befor

Throughout the summer, we’ll 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 Victoriaville Tigres. Alexis Bourque A native of Gatineau, Bourque was selected seventh overall by the Armada in the 2021 QMJHL Draft. At just 16 years old, he earned a spot with Blainville-Boisbriand, where he spent two and a half seasons before being traded to Victoriaville. With the Tigres, he reached the semifinals in 2024 and, this season, posted career highs with 21 goals and 42 points as an overager. Only Egor Shilov and Alexey Vlasov recorded more points for Victoriaville. Bourque concludes his junior career with 152 points in 286 games, and will play for the University of Alaska-Fairbanks in 2026–27. Simon-Pier Brunet A fifth-round pick of the Drummondville Voltigeurs in 2021, Brunet spent the 2021–22 season with Gatineau in the M18 AAA ranks, L

Following the NHL Draft in Buffalo this past weekend, where 20 QMJHL players were selected—the league's highest total since 2021—an additional 21 skaters have now earned invitations to NHL development camps, which are currently taking place across the league. The Cape Breton Eagles and Gatineau Olympiques lead the way with three invitees each. For the Eagles, Alonso Gosselin was invited by the Philadelphia Flyers, Noah Jettelson by the Colorado Avalanche, and Elias Schneider by the Los Angeles Kings. Gosselin spent the 2025-26 season with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, while Schneider played for the Shawinigan Cataractes. For the Olympiques, Maxim Dubé is attending the New York Rangers' camp, Michel Myloserdnyy is with the Nashville Predators, and Dylan Allie is participating in the Vegas Golden Knights' camp. Five teams saw two of their players receive invitations: the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (Vincent Desjardins and Torkel Jennersjö), Drummondville Voltigeurs (Jesse Allecia and O

  The 2026 CHL Import Draft was held earlier today and QMJHL teams selected a total of 38 players that were born in European countries. The Halifax Mooseheads, who acquired the second overall selection in a trade with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar yesterday, got things started by using that pick to claim 17-year-old Austrian forward, Paul Sintschnig. The Rimouski Océanic was the next QMJHL representative to speak, opting to select Czechian winger Maxmilian Mares with the 5th overall pick. The only other QMJHL squad to select inside the Top 10 was the Gatineau Olympiques, who used the 8th overall pick on Russian-born forward Ilya Pautov. For the second straight year, the CHL Import Draft consisted of three rounds as the CHL enters its second season with three import player spots available on each club’s roster. However, new rules were in effect for this year’s draft: 20-year-old import players were eligible to be selected in any round, while 16-year-old import

A total of 20 QMJHL players were selected in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, the league’s highest total since 2021 (24). In addition, for the first time in five years, 10 prospects from the Cecchini Circuit cracked the NHL’s Top 100. On Friday night, during the first round, Maddox Dagenais of the Québec Remparts was selected 16th overall by the St. Louis Blues, while Tommy Bleyl of the Moncton Wildcats went 31st overall to the Nashville Predators. On Saturday,  Xavier Villeneuve of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada became the first QMJHL player selected, going 34th overall to the Chicago Blackhawks. The defenceman, who was ranked 18th among North American skaters, recorded 38 points in just 37 games after his season was shortened by injury. QMJHL Offensive Rookie of the Year Egor Shilov, of the Victoriaville Tigres, was then selected 43rd overall by the Colorado Avalanche. Fresh off winning the Gilles-Courteau Trophy with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, Liam Lefebvre followed at
