It is that in the AAA class (formerly AAA Record), the Desjardins section includes among others the Estacades de la Mauricie and the Drummond/Bois-Francs waterfalls, two of the five best teams of this level in Quebec if we trust POC classification. You must also add the Junior Eagles of Boston, title champions in Waterloo. Yes, we can talk about a cruel draw.
First for the Estacades (0-1-1 sheet in this tournament), practically eliminated after a memorable shooting on Friday afternoon. Tenth cascades shooter (2-0), Malik Rondeau finally placed a good shot in the upper right corner, above the shoulder of young Justin Houle. Alexis Desharnais then confirmed the victory of his family with a judgment at the expense of Tyler Letendre.
“It is certainly disappointed, but our players have given everything. The guys worked so hard to bring it to extension, before lacking juice in dam fire, “said Jonathan Gravel-Renaud, head coach of the Estacades.
“It will be a major learning for the rest of our season.”

The head of this “group of death” will therefore be played between the waterfalls and the Junior Eagles (2-0), who defeated the Laval Rocket with a 4-2 account on Friday. DECLAN RAYCROFT marked twice for the Bostonnaise organization, more often than that is one of the main attractions of the Waterloo M13 tournament.
“This group has developed good chemistry over the years and we are lucky to be able to count on two good goalkeepers. But the most obvious to me is that our young people are happy to be here, ”said Junior Eagles pilot Justin Harney.
“It’s always a great pleasure for us to come to Quebec to face such good teams.”
