Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League

...

in the QMJHL.

Um, I think he put up better numbers than I think people are giving him credit for last year.

49 points in 54 games, 24 goals, 25 assists.

Tom Kerver's prospect showcase since being selected by St. Louis.

Then Justin Cobb and no is also going to be there for St. Louis 2025, 19th overall pick out of the QMJHL good shooting goal scoring winger.

And then Maddox Dejanay, another French first round pick for the blues 16th overall, like you're a check, but here in 2026, big forward went earlier than I expected in this year's draft, but those are definitely the three players to pick.

keep an eye out for from a Blackhawks perspective, that's going to be suiting up on the other side of this thing, but that takes care of everything to know before the Blackhawks 2026 prospect showcase practices, at least get underway tomorrow at Blackhawks ice center.

But good enough to come in at number 19.

At number 18, I have Julius Sumpf, 2025 fourth-round pick, 21-year-old forward, 6'1", 190 pounds.

Had 65 points in 58 games back in 24-25 in the QMJHL.

Helped the Moncton Wildcats win the league championship.

I'll be a pub quiz and there'll be some really easy like pop culture question that I just don't know the answer to.

But I'll be able to tell you about like the other Danny Stewart that used to play for Basingstoke who played for Rimouski in the QMJHL with Sidney Crosby.

You know, I actually do.

I suppose my main questions from this kind of talking point was, you know, 84-game season, will it improve the product? Is it simply just to create more money for hockey? What's your thoughts? Or is there any of the CBA kind of changes that you think have drawn your attention, I suppose? Gets the game

There's a number of others.

There's also a number that have come over to the CHL that we're going to have a chance to look at in the QMJHL, also in the OHL in particular, especially on Flow Hockey.

So we'll be able to see some of these guys.

But I wanted to go into the called-up challenge.

Just coming off one of the best.

Having one of the best point totals in the QMJHL.

Is an absolute monster.

Great hands.

our prospect going forward for us and obviously throwing in a second there to kind of sweeten the deal up you probably don't even need that pick i really do like the value coming back obviously like i said casa and skinner would work well together daniel yeah i think he's gonna head back uh to the qmjhl uh this season so we probably won't see him this year but this has got to keep your eye on going forward uh who could really come in and you know play maybe a third line center role behind uh bjork or maybe even take that second line center role eventually from him I do like having him as a prospect within our system.

I think this is a guy who's going to come in and be a very dangerous player in the NHL.

I mean, I've seen him personally playing in the QMJHL with my own eyes.

This guy's a special talent, and it would be great to see him in Winnipeg.

It's just a great league to be a part of.

Yeah, it's such a tight-knit community and I mean like the travel and how much time you spend on the road compared to the Quebec League and the Ontario League.

I mean, we'd go out for 10 days, we'd go out for 12 days.

So you spend a lot of time together as a group on the bus You know, so it's a good opportunity to bond and to get to know everybody.

Other players I'm looking forward to are Matt DiMarcico.

He's been on the top of our NCAA list, played in Halifax for the QMJHL.

Oh, that's, sorry, I'm looking at Sean Carrier.

Matt Namarsco played Penn State, and he did play a little bit with the Eagles.
