SHERBROOKE PHOENIX Gilles Bouchard TEAM OUTLOOK: Head Coach: Gilles Bouchard; GM: Philippe Sauve Imports: C Frantisek Dej; C Jakub Hujer The Sherbrooke Phoenix went "all in" last year and fell to the Halifax Mooseheads in the semifinals. It goes without saying that the rebuild begins now. On paper, they have several 2003 born players eligible to return, but several of them are very likely going to be playing pro hockey somewhere next season. In the event they could get one or two back, it could really help kickstart the rebuild with a couple of trades. Please keep in mind that I'm trying to learn about the teams and their rosters and depth as I put the info together. What I project from the outside and what the team staff have in mind will likely be much different. This is a message forum, not a pro publication. Update: The Phoenix named Philippe Sauve their new GM and Gilles Bouchard their new head coach on July 9th. |

GOALTENDERS
Samuel St-Hilaire
GOALTENDING: Goaltending appears to be OK with 2004 Samuel St-Hilaire filling the starting role and the backup job up for grabs. Notes: 2006 G Samuel Lamarche was a 5th round pick of Rimouski in the 2022 QMJHL draft and is on loan to the Phoenix for training camp. 2005 Nathan St-Germain is huge at 6'7" and 194 lbs. and could battle for the backup role. |
DEFENCEMEN
Christophe Rondeau
DEFENCE: The Phoenix will need to sort out their 20 year-old situation, but it looks like Christophe Rondeau could be the only 20 year-old returning on defence. Tremblay-Mathieu and Marcil are both experienced 19 year-olds, and first round pick Louis-Alex Tremblay give them what could be an OK top four. Notes: 2005 D Jesse Carriere got into 9 games with the Phoenix last season (9-0-0-0-0). 2005 D Frederic Deschenes is listed to be playing with West Kelowna of the BCHL this coming season and is NCAA commited to Michigan State for the 2024-25 season. 2003 D Joe Fleming is signed by Vegas and will likely play Pro this season. 2003 D Marc-Andre Gaudet is signed by St. Louis and shows to be playing with Springfield of the AHL next season (Elite Prospects). 2003 Tyson Hinds is signed by Anaheim and likely going to be playing Pro this season. 2005 D Jean-Felix Lapointe got into 2 games last season with the Phoenix (2-0-0-0-0). 2006 D Kaden McNeil split his 16 year-old season between Rothesay-Netherwood and the Miramichi Timberwolves of the MHL. He always seems to play well in the games I see him. I think he will get a really long look in camp. 2003 D David Spacek is signed by Minnesota and won't be back this season. |

Jakub Hujer
FORWARDS: There is a very good chance that up to four 20 year-olds could be eligible to return up front, so they will need to sort that out first and then try to fill the holes. If they keep Christophe Rondeau on defence, only two of Cole Huckins, Andrew Belchamber, Jaheem Lagace and Israel Mianscum could return. I can only venture a guess, but the Phoenix will likely try to move a couple who they could get the biggest return for. This is only my opinion. Notes: 2005 LW Olivier Dubois was acquired in a trade from Rouyn-Noranda on August 25th. 2005 LW Amine Hajibe is NCAA commited to Nebraska-Omaha for the 2025-26 season. 2003 LW Cole Huckins is a Calgary draft pick but is unsigned and projected to be back with the Phoenix this season (Elite Prospects). Update: Huckins was traded to Charlottetown on August 14. 2007 LW Mavrick and LW Shawn Ordines are twins. 2007 C Robin Benoit was not at training camp. 2003 C Jakub Brabenec is signed by Vegas and won't be back this season. The Phoenix picked 2005 C Frantek Dej with their 1st pick in the CHL Import draft, 47th overall from Slovakia. 2004 C Tristan Dussault got into 1 game with the Phoenix last season (1-0-0-0-0). 2004 C Mathis Fortin got into 1 game with the Phoenix last season (1-0-0-0-0). 2005 C Lewis Gendron got into 7 games with the Phoenix last season (7-0-2-2-0). 2005 C Manix Sarrasin got into 19 games with Moncton two seasons ago (19-2-0-2-2). 2003 RW Jaheem Lagace-Aurelien has signed to play Junior A this season with Terrebone. 2006 RW Vincent Lagare was acquired in a trade from Moncton on August 25th. 2003 RW Jacob Melanson is signed by Seattle and will play Pro this season. 2006 RW Niko Tournas is NCAA commited to New Hampshire for the 2024-25 season. 2006 RW Coen Miller split the season between U18 and Junior A and has produced at every level. He could be a dark horse to make the team in training camp. He's very elusive and a creative playmaker. 2003 RW Joshua Roy is signed by Montreal and will play Pro this season. |
