Edmonton, Alta.- It took two tying goals and a third-period comeback, but Canada overcame a slow start to best Finland 6-3 in semifinal action on Friday evening at the 2026 Hlinka Gretzky Cup. The Canadians will improve on last year's bronze medal at the prestigious U18 tournament, and will get a chance at gold against the reigning champion United States. Lethbridge Hurricanes netminder Leif Oaten was named Canada's Player of the Game with a 24-save effort, highlighted by a massive powerplay stop in the third period. The Finns opened the scoring on the powerplay as Olli Kylmala struck just over five minutes into the opening frame and dominated on the shot clock in the early goings of the game. Projected top 2027 NHL Draft pick and Canadian captain Landon DuPont (Everett Silvertips / Calgary, Alta.) gave the home team some juice with a ferocious one-timer from the edge of the right faceoff dot to send the teams to the dressing rooms tied after 20 minutes. https://t

Edmonton, Alta.- Sixteen-year-old Liam Pue's Hlinka Gretzky Cup mastery was on full display as Canada trounced Sweden 7-4 in group stage action at the 2026 Hlinka Gretzky Cup. Pue, who played 34 games with the Regina Pats in 2025-26 as an underage player, scored his fourth goal and fifth point of the tournament in a win that guaranteed Canada first place in Group A and eliminated Sweden (0-1-2-0) from medal contention. Fresh off a two-goal performance in his home barn, Kaeden Stroeder (Edmonton Oil Kings / Saskatoon, Sask.) was named Player of the Game with a one-goal, two-assist effort. For a third straight game, Canada opened the scoring in the early goings, this time with 2026 Rookie of the Year finalist Brock Cripps (Prince Albert Raiders / Victoria, B.C.) outwaiting a sprawling Swedish defender to rip a shorthanded goal home from the slot. His defensive partner, Boston Tait (Wenatchee Wild / Estevan, Sask.), picked up the secondary assist. Stroeder bagged his

Introduction The excitement each year when we do this project is coming up with an order for the top players in the organization, with new additions and great seasons from others shifting how relative value is viewed from summer to summer. But while we all fret over who to move into the top spots, voters also make their task of ranking a high number of players easier by shifting a few players to the lowest ranks to limit the options they have to mull over higher up. Each year we like to show the full list of players in the project, first looking at those outside of the official Top 25 Under 25 to show where everyone landed. The first reveal is a block of players who are viewed to have very little chance of making it to the NHL, but the group always includes some of the newer draft prospects that no one knows enough about to put them above those who’ve been in the system for a year or two. These are the first 13 of 55 players we’ll reveal in reverse

QMJHL fans will have plenty of reasons to look forward to the 2027 NHL Draft. It’s always tough to say 11 months before the draft, but for some of the league’s top prospects for this upcoming NHL Draft will be at the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup, in Edmonton, from Monday through Saturday, August 8 in Edmonton. Who should you keep an eye on during this U18 tournament, which will be broadcast on TSN and RDS? We suggest you five players to watch who are expected to turn heads during the upcoming QMJHL season. The 2026–27 season will be dominated by Alexis Joseph. According to most experts, the Saint John Sea Dogs forward is set to become the third QMJHL player drafted in the top five of a draft since 2020, after Alexis Lafrenière (2020, 1st by the New York Rangers) and Caleb Desnoyers (2025, 4th by the Utah Mammoth). Joseph will be one of Canada's standout players, but there will also be players to watch from other countries. Some european players were notably selected during the Canadian Hocke

Saint John Sea Dogs forward Alexis Joseph has been named assistant captain of the Canadian team set to compete in the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup, which will take place from Monday, 3 Aug. to Saturday, 8 Aug. in Edmonton. The Lachenaie, QC native will assist captain Landon DuPont (Everett Silvertips, WHL). The other assistant captain will be Maddox Schultz (Regina Pats, WHL). Joseph, along with DuPont, is one of only two players in the Canadian squad to have represented Canada at the 2026 IIHF U18 Men’s World Championship. Regarded by many as one of the top prospects for the 2027 NHL Draft, he recorded 60 points, including 24 goals, in 54 games during his debut season in the QMJHL. Notably, he notched his first career hat-trick on December 31th last year. The Canadian team will feature a total of five QMJHL players. Joseph will be joined by players from the Newfoundland Regiment – defender Quinn Norman and forward Benjamin Veitch – Cape Breton Eagles goaltender Sam Berthiaume, and defender M

Five QMJHL players are among the 27 players who will take part in Canada’s National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team training camp ahead of the 2026 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, set for Aug. 3-9 at Rogers Place and the Downtown Community Arena in Edmonton. This group will include the top two picks in the 2025 QMJHL draft: the first overall pick, forward Alexis Joseph (Lachenaie, QC) of the Saint John Sea Dogs, and the second overall pick, Malik L’Italien (Montréal, QC) of the Halifax Mooseheads. The Newfoundland Regiment will also be well represented, with defenceman Quinn Norman (St John’s, NL) and forward Benjamin Veitch (St John’s, NL). Sam Berthiaume (Stellarton, N.S./Cape Breton Eagles) will be between the pipes. The roster, which includes two goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards, was selected by Program of Excellence (POE) general manager Alan Millar (Tottenham, ON), alongside POE head scout Byron B

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
