Today, we feature the graduating players of the Shawinigan Cataractes. Vince Élie After being selected 36th overall by the Saint John Sea Dogs in the 2021 QMJHL Draft, Élie returned for another season with the Laval-Montréal Rousseau-Royal U18 AAA program. He then recorded 27 points in 65 games as a rookie with the Sea Dogs before being traded to the Shawinigan Cataractes midway through the 2023-24 season. That year, he finished with 62 points, followed by 69 points in his first full season with the Cataractes. Élie also helped Shawinigan reach the 2025 QMJHL Semifinals, where the team fell to Rimouski.

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 Val-d’Or Foreurs. Maxime Coursol Coursol made history with the Rimouski Océanic before finishing his junior career in Val-d'Or, where he recorded a personal-best 69 points (25G-44A) in 2025-26.

Mario Lemieux saw something in Sidney Crosby before the rest of the hockey world fully understood it. When the Pittsburgh Penguins selected Crosby first overall in the 2005 NHL Draft, he arrived carrying expectations that would have crushed most young players. He was only 18 years old, yet he was already being compared to Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and the greatest talents in hockey history. But Lemieux did more than publicly support Pittsburgh’s newest prospect. He welcomed Crosby into his own home, gave him a place within his family, and treated him like the future of the Penguins before Crosby had played a single NHL game. In this video, we explore why Mario Lemieux was so confident that Sidney Crosby would become a truly special player—and how Crosby spent the next two decades proving him right. From Crosby’s dominant junior career with the Rimouski Océanic to his remarkable 102-point rookie season, the signs appeared almost immediately. He became the NHL’s youngest scoring c

  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
