Plenty of talent from the crop of 2012’s currently playing in QC. Here are a few standouts to keep an eye out for in 2028👀
Grégoire Vouligny
Dante Almeida
Phillipe Barrette
Liam Hudon
Samuel Desruisseaux
Between the pipes Mason Khoury leads the way
For the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, I decided to put together a Team Eastern Canada lineup.
Looking at the players available from Atlantic Canada and Quebec, I honestly think this team would have been very competitive on the international stage.
Newfoundland has announced their roster for the 2026 Atlantic QMJHL Cup in October.
- Max McCarthy is the name to watch here. He put up a ridiculous 107 points in 36 games playing for the Eastern Hitmen in the provinces U15 league. He’ll be taking his talents to Shattuck St. Mary’s next season
- I like the addition of a couple of promising 2012-born forwards in Ryan Browne and Maddox Peddle. I expect them both to be key offensive contributors.
- I’m not super familiar with the defenders but Aaron Tellenbach is a good one. Excited to see the rest of the group.
-Max Steele should be tasked with a majority of the workload in nets. Backstopped the Hitmen to an Atlantic Championship last season.
