Carbonneau. Son 33e de la saison! 🚨#LeFuturEstMaintenant⚡️ pic.twitter.com/s9fcK3TJpN “The thing with Carbonneau is that he’s not interested in playing outside [the perimeter],” said TSN’s Director of Scouting Craig Button “He’s a player that wants to put players on his heals and with his maturity He’s using his skillset as something to use to impact a game.” Carbonneau is a top prospect eligible for the 2025 NHL Draft in Los Angeles and has been steadily rising on prognosticators’ lists He didn’t make an appearance on Button’s pre-season draft ranking and made his first appearance on the list in November at No 14. Button now thinks that’s not high enough “We’re talking about a player that plays the game in a manner where he can be a first-line winger [in the NHL],” said Button “Young players have to continue to learn and grow and find a way to make their skills more impactful opponents are trying to figure out ways to stop them so they have to continue to find ways to use those skills “Some players can’t find a way to do it like they did in the lower levels and other players continue to move up What I see from Carbonneau is him using his skillset as something to use to impact a game He knows he can be a difference maker in every game that he plays.” Supporting Carbonneau up front are a pair of players who are also eligible in this year’s NHL draft in Vincent Desjardins and Mateo Nobert Desjardins sits tied for eighth in QMJHL scoring with 17 goals and 77 points He recorded 15 goals and 47 points in 68 games last season and was invited to the Edmonton Oilers rookie camp in the preseason after going undrafted in the 2024 draft in Vegas.  Nobert was drafted third overall in the 2023 QMJHL draft by the Armada and has been steadily improving in his sophomore season in the league The 6-foot centre has 28 goals and 67 points and has been rising in a lot of draft rankings “I think he can be a first-round draft pick when it’s all said and done and he’ll be in my top 32players,” said Button I see someone who is so invested in being better He’s another player who just continues to take his game to higher levels.” La face de l’admin en voyant ce but en tirs de barrage de Mateo Nobert: 😵😵‍💫😶‍🌫️#RéEmbarqueDansLArmada ⚫️⚪️ pic.twitter.com/DNIWHWmwZu The Armada are led on the blueline by Xavier Villeneuve who is second among QMJHL defencemen in points with 12 goals and 61 points in 57 games this season The 5-foot-10 left-shot defenceman is not eligible for the 2025 draft due to his September birthday “He’s a small defenceman but he’s really good,” said Button “He’s similar to Sam Girard [of the Colorado Avalanche] He’s a dynamic offensive defenceman that can control he play and run the power play.” The QMJHL Western Conference remains in flux with the Armada and Sherbrook Phoenix all within four points of each other while the Moncton Wildcats and Rimouski Oceanic are the teams to beat in the East Button believes the top three teams in the QMJHL are the Wildcats but he also believes that the Armada and other three teams in contention in the West are not too far behind Drummondville “When teams like the Armada are playing against good teams and the games are tight they have to find a way to win even if they can’t play to their strengths and the one thing you’re looking for is really good goaltending.” Goaltending was an area of need that Blainville-Boisbriand recognized at the trade deadline and addressed the issue by acquiring Felix Hamel from the Cataracts in exchange for defenceman Noah Collette and two draft picks Hamel has had an immediate impact on the club going 14-2 with a 2.41 goals-against average and.926 save percentage since his arrival He sits third in the league with an overall .918 save percentage and sixth with a 2.46 GAA “If you don’t recognize where you have to be better you’re going to have a hard time getting better,” said Button “They recognized they had to improve their goaltending Now the results are reflected in the numbers Saginaw Spirit defenceman Zayne Parekh put himself in exclusive company at the beginning of March when he registered his 30th goal of the season Parekh now joins the legendary Bobby Orr as the only two defencemen to register multiple 30-goal seasons in Ontario Hockey League history The Calgary Flames prospect wasn’t done there Parekh also became the 10th defenceman in OHL history to reach the 100-point plateau He is the first to reach the mark since Ryan Ellis registered 24 goals and 101 points in 58 games during the 2010-11 season he set the OHL rookie record goals by a defenceman (21) then last year he had 33 goals and this year he’s at 32 [and counting] Parekh now has 32 goals and 101 points in 58 games this season with the Spirit to go along with a plus-42 rating on a team that is very different from the Memorial Cup champion from last season It’s worth noting that Parekh still has five more regular-season games to add to his totals Button believes that it’s not just Parekh’s physical attributes that makes him so effective offensively but it’s his hockey sense and IQ that makes him unique “He beats you up with his mind first and then all the skills come into play,” said Button The other main thing is that he gets his shots on net “How many defencemen are accurate like he is He’s so dynamic first with his brain and hands and then he combines that with the fact that he’s an excellent skater.” Parekh spoke to TSN in February about his OHL journey and his overall development as an NHL prospect When asked about what makes him such a strong force at the major junior level he said it’s not just development in himself but changes in the league as well “Each year as I continue to grow as a player and in the gym the game seems to slow down a little bit for me because the league gets a little younger every year,” said Parekh “I’ve been able to expose the skating differential there and I’ve been playing with really good players While Button understands where Parekh is coming from he believes his success has more to do with the development of his game rather than the cycle of junior hockey players He’s building his game and is maturing mentally and physically It’s one thing to think you can but when you know you can The 6-foot defenceman got his first taste of NHL action prior to the regular season where he participated in the Flames training camp and played in two preseason games Parekh will still be eligible to return to the OHL for a fourth season next year but his main objective is to try to make the Flames roster and cut his teeth at being an NHL player While a large portion of whether Parekh will be successful at this will depend on the Flames’ roster and salary cap situations Button believes that he can force the issue depending on his performance “What I would tell him is that if he wants to play in the NHL next season he’s going to have to be really consistent about his game,” said Button but the coach has to know what he’s going to get from him “The reason young players have to get the confidence of the coach is because the coach has to know what to expect when they’re on the ice While there has been a lot of buzz surrounding Medicine Hat Tigers phenom Gavin McKenna at the top of the 2026 NHL Draft a lot of other strong prospects have already begun to reveal themselves this season Near the top of the list is Victoria Royals rookie defenceman Keaton Verhoeff The 6-foot-4 right-shot defenceman is third among Western Hockey League blueliners with 20 goals this season to go along with 43 points in 57 games He is among those leading the charge in Victoria as the team is tied with the Prince George Cougars for top spot in the B.C Division with a 36-16-10 record and the second seed in the Western Conference “McKenna is the best player in the 2026 draft But Verhoeff is a 25-minute a game player who can play in any situation and excel.” Keaton Verhoeff has his 17th goal of the season and the most goals scored in a season by a 16-year-old defenseman in the WHL since 1984-85! pic.twitter.com/g1gXutPCc2 Button believes one of the key aspects in Verhoeff’s development is having head coach James Patrick in his corner. Patrick took over as head coach of the team in November of 2023 after the team failed to make the playoffs three years in a row. He previously coached the Winnipeg Ice franchise (now Wenatchee Wild), taking the team to the WHL Championship Series in 2022-23. “Two things that Verhoeff really benefits from is experience and his head coach,” said Button. “Playing for Patrick is getting taught by a hockey professor. He wasn’t in place when Verhoeff was drafted, so it’s like winning a lottery. He’s an outstanding coach and having him there is huge.” The Royals are looking to make some noise in this year’s playoff run, but the team is built so that they can also be a force to be reckoned with next season as well. Led by 2025 NHL top prospect Cole Reschny, the Royals have 14 players eligible to return to the WHL next season. “What they’re doing is really impressive,” said Button. "Reschny is a really good player, and they have good young players going into next year with a good coach. Based on where they’re at this year and how they can grow into next season, I think it’s significant.” Lewis Gendron’s tiebreaking goal in extra minutes gave the Cape Breton Eagles a 5-4 overtime victory over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada during their Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League matchup on Saturday night at Sydney’s Centre 200 Subscribe now to read the latest news in your city and across Canada Create an account or sign in to keep reading Create an account or sign in to continue with your reading experience Don't have an account?

Near end of the second period, Joseph Henneberry, Luke Patterson and Cam Squires each potted in single markers to put the Eagles (24-17-4-3) up 4-3. The Armada tied the game at 4-4 near the end of regulation. An odd man rush allowed Gendron to come up along the left wing and put the puck past Armada goalie Vincent Gladu 2:52 into overtime for the game winner in front of 3,980 attendees. Justin Carbonneau scored twice for Blainville-Boisbriand (28-17-3-0). Mateo Nobert added a goal and Théo Lemieux provided the game-tying goal with just under two minutes remaining in regulation.

losses in a row for the Halifax Mooseheads but it certainly wasn’t from a lack of effort The Moose ran into a red hot goalie in Emile Samson as the Armada skated to a 3-1 win on Thursday night in Blainville-Boisbriand BOX SCORE Samson withstood a barrage from the Mooseheads throughout the game but turned aside 35 of 36 shots and was the difference in the Armada victory The Herd had double digit shots in each period as they carried the play for the majority of the night at the Centre d’excellence Sports Rousseau The Armada opened the scoring on a strange goal midway through the second period when Simon Pinard tallied on a shot that was just tossed at the net and it fooled Mooseheads starter Cole McLaren who suffered his first loss in six starts this season McLaren finished with 18 saves and Halifax’s record dropped to 17-7-1-0 Jared McIsaac pulled his team even with a huge goal on a point shot at 14:27 of the third period but the Mooseheads didn’t have time to celebrate let alone blink an eye because Blainville-Boisbriand came right back down the ice off the ensuing draw and Alexander Katerinakis restored the lead a mere 10 seconds after the McIsaac tally With the Mooseheads pressing once again to find the tying goal Coach Eric Veilleux pulled McLaren from the net late in regulation and Halifax couldn’t find a way to beat the hot Samson for a second time and Katerinakis floated a shot from center ice into the empty cage with 33 seconds to go to seal the game The Herd went 0-3 on the power play while they improved their QMJHL-leading penalty killing percentage by stopping Blainville-Boisbriand on all four of their attempts 3 Stars: Samson was the clear cut first star with 35 saves Katerinkas was named the second star with two goals while Simon Bolduc led both teams with five hits in the game and took the third star Scratches: The Mooseheads were without forward Ostap Safin who is dealing with a nagging lower body injury Defenceman Jake Ryczek also missed the game with a lower body injury while injuries also continued to keep rookies Cole Stewart and Samuel Dube out of the lineup Next Up: Halifax will travel to Shawinigan to face off with the Cataractes on Friday night at 8:30PM AST Shawinigan suffered a 7-1 loss to Moncton on Thursday to fall to 7-17-1-1 Listen to the game live on News 95.7 with Garreth MacDonald — Goals from Jacob Newcombe early in the first and third periods helped lead the Cape Breton Eagles to a 5-0 shutout over Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action Saturday night at the Centre Excellence Sports Rousseau Charles Boutin and William Shields also scored for the Eagles (20-27-3-1) while goaltender Nicolas Ruccia picked up his second career shutout stopping all 30 shots Netminder Nicholas Sheehan made 24 saves for the Armada (20-26-5-2) With more than seven minutes remaining and his team unable to score Blainville-Boisbriand coach Bruce Richardson elected to pull Sheehan and add on an extra attacker that move didn’t pay off as Shields potted in an empty-netter from his own end to seal the victory the Eagles came back from an early three-goal deficit but it was two third-period goals by the Shawinigan Cataractes that were in the third period that was difference in Cape Breton’s 5-4 loss Stéphane Jr Huard and Lorenzo Canonica both had a four-point performances while Isaac Ménard chipped in with a single marker for the Cataractes (24-24-2-2 after Saturday’s games) Trevor Thurston and Olivier Houde had a goal and an assist each while Newcombe and Squires also fired home goals for the Eagles Shawinigan’s Rémi Delafontaine made 33 saves Cape Breton’s Oliver Satny stopped 20 of 25 shots The Eagles will continue their Quebec road trip on Wednesday night when they head to Val-d’Or to play the Foreurs (20-29-2-0 before Sunday’s game) The Charlottetown Islanders are in the midst of a five-game home stand and have kicked it off on the right foot They play their third game in a row at the Eastlink Centre tonight when they take on the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in their first matchup of the season Charlottetown (7-7-1-0) sent the Eastlink Centre crowd home happy with an exciting effort Thursday night against the Moncton Wildcats Antoine Michaud scored the game-winning goal with just under three minutes left to go in regulation as the Isles defeated the Wildcats 3-2 Marcus Kearsey and Jeremie Biakabutuka picked up two assists while Michael Horth scored his team-leading 9th goal of the season Francesco Lapenna was excellent once again the Islanders received some positive news as Will Allen has been upgraded to a game-time decision He will hopefully be available for the Islanders along with forward Sam Bowness who served the second game of a two-game suspension for a staged fight in his last game against the Rimouski Oceanic they’ll look to get back in the win column after dropping the first game of their Maritime road trip last night 5-3 to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan It hasn’t been an ideal to the season for a young team that many expected to be one of the strongest in the QMJHL’s Western Conference; last night’s defeat makes it four losses in their past five games Two bright spots for the Armada have been the play of Jonathan Fauchon and Alexis Gendron The duo are both firmly in the top 25 of the QMJHL points race; Gendron is tied for fifth among all players with 12 goals on the season The pair have been the proverbial linchpins to the Armada offense thus far this season This will be the first time that PEI products Zach Biggar and Colby Huggan visit the Eastlink Centre this season Biggar spent plenty of time in Charlottetown last season as a member of the Titan; for Huggan this will be just his second game in front of his hometown crowd Charlottetown exorcised past demons against Blainville-Boisbriand last season defeating the Armada in both matchups against their one-time playoff rivals the

Land Protection Commission (CPTAQ) to provide for a zoning exclusion in favour of Le Quartier-Forestia the opinion of the MMC appears to be based on erroneous and in some cases The land which Le Quarter-Forestia seeks to develop is in an agricultural zone but none of it has been used for large-scale agricultural purposes for some 20 years A fraction of the arable area is being tended for personal and cosmetic purposes only the suggestion by the MMC to the effect that there is space elsewhere on its territory as well as in the Sainte-Thérèse and Boisbriand areas for a development like Le Quartier-Forestia The observations and calculations leave us perplexed The site that has been chosen by the developers is officially designated as having agricultural potential ("class 2" and "class 3") but none of this potential can be realized given its location and the absence of demand The Le Quartier-Forestia project is in full compliance with a list of 15 criteria as set out by the MMC and the specifications exceed the requirements of the MMC's own management and development plan "The zone is bordered by a residential area to the east and highways to the north and to the west It cannot be properly managed for agricultural use but a well-designed project like that of Le Quartier-Forestia will bring stewardship to the land for generations to come" says Raymond Lessard (President of Le Quartier-Forestia) Le Quartier-Forestia would include a maple grove and 53 hectares of green space including parks which is designed to be a "Transit Oriented Development (TOD)" from the ground up represents an investment of some 1.2 billion dollars A green jewel for Boisbriand and for all who would tread her paths We urgently request a meeting with officials of the MMC so that we may provide as much additional information as required in order to reassure policymakers and citizens alike that approval of the Le Quartier-Forestia project is in the better interests of all
