The Remparts officially enter year 2 of their reconstruction plan. Here is the 2024-2025 formation of the Red Devils.

Attackers

Justin Côté, Left Winger, 20 years old

Côté was acquired from the Drummondville Voltigeurs after helping them win the Gilles Courteau Trophy. He will bring talent, experience and leadership to the locker room.

Gabriel Courchesne, Center, 18 years old

The Remparts claimed Courchesne off waivers after he was cut by the Drummondville Voltigeurs. He finished second in scoring in the U18 AAA league last season.

Maddox Dagenais, Center, 16 years old

First overall pick in the last draft, Dagenais will not be relegated to a spectator role by Éric Veilleux, who intends to give him opportunities to show off.

Antoine Dorion, Right Winger, 19 years old

Author of 26 points in 68 games in his first season in the QMJHL, Dorion was rewarded by being drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the seventh round.

Loïc Goyette, Left Winger, 19 years old

Acquired for Kassim Gaudet last year, Goyette has not broken anything with the Remparts, who hope to witness the blossoming of this former first-round pick.

Ryan Howard, Right Wing, 16 years old

A second-round pick by the Remparts in the last draft, Howard impressed management during training camp with his passion on the ice.

Xavier Lebel, Right Winger, 17 years old

One of the positives from last season, Lebel will try to continue his momentum from the end of the season where he was among the Remparts’ best players. He will experience his NHL draft year.

Mathias Loiselle, Center, 19 years old

Loiselle was invited to join the Remparts at the end of last season, after starting with the St. Lawrence College Lions. A supporting role is expected.

Raphaël Messier, Left Winger, 17 years old

Messier joined the Remparts in the second half of last season. A fourth-round pick by the team in 2023, he will also start the season in a supporting role.

Nathan Plouffe, Left Winger, 18 years old

Plouffe will be in his second season in the QMJHL, with the Remparts, and will try to continue to play a fiery style and disrupt the opponent.

Nathan Quinn, Center, 17

The Remparts appear ready to give a real chance to their second-round pick in 2023, who was used at the center of the first line during training camp.

Mavrick Rousseau-Hamel, Left Winger, 18 years old

Rousseau-Hamel was acquired by the Remparts in the transaction that sent Vsevolod Komarov to the Drummondville Voltigeurs last season.

Jayden Rousseau, Center, 16

A second-round pick by the Remparts in the last draft, Rousseau had mentioned wanting to look at the American side before changing his mind and agreeing to play in Quebec.

Andreas Straka, Right Winger, 17 years old

The Remparts have big ideas for him, having drafted him with the fourth overall pick in the CHL European Draft. Another youngster who will have his NHL draft year.

Defenders

Alexandre Desmarais, Left-handed defender, 18 years old

Desmarais showed very encouraging signs last season, especially on the offensive side. He should be a major asset to the Remparts’ power play.

Antoine Michaud, Right-handed defender, 20 years old

Michaud is one of two 20-year-old defensemen on the team and will be given several responsibilities on and off the ice, including ensuring young goaltender Louis-Antoine Denault is protected.

Charlie Morrison, Left-footed defender, 17 years old

The Remparts drafted Morrison in the second round of the last draft and decided to give him a spot on their roster. He will be competing for the last permanent spots at the back.

Leyton Stewart, Right-footed defender, 19 years old

Stewart was a nice surprise for the Remparts at training camp last year, earning a spot before earning a permanent role on the blue line.

Peter Valent, Left-footed defender, 19 years old

The Remparts really liked the play of their second-round European pick during training camp. The Slovak will bring experience to the blue line.

Benjamin Vigneault, Right-handed defender, 20 years old

The Remparts acquired Vigneault from the Victoriaville Tigres to add experience to their blue line. A native of Quebec City, he will begin his third full season in the QMJHL.

Nathan Wright, Right-handed defender, 17 years old

Wright spent the majority of his 16-year-old season at the U18 AAA level with the Esther-Blondin College Phénix. A third-round pick of the team, he will now try to earn a permanent position.

Guardians

Louis-Antoine Denault, 18 years old

The giant goalie’s progression was impressive last year. This will be an important season for the 6-foot-8 netminder, as he will not only be the No. 1 goalie, but he will also be the focus of NHL scouts.

Benjamin Lelièvre, 17 years old

Lelièvre won the battle for the position of n^o 2 at training camp and he will have the role of supporting Louis-Antoine Denault, who will undoubtedly be the team’s trusted man.
