A dozen former players from the Maritimes-Québec Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) left with a gold medal from the 2025 FISU World University Winter Games.
Canada’s representatives were able to defeat the Slovakian team by a score of 3-1 in the grand final on Wednesday evening at the Pala Tazzoli in Turin, Italy.
Made up entirely of players playing at the university level in the U SPORTS circuit, Canada’s roster was counting on 10 former QMJHL players this year.
Moreover, it was the former captain of the Victoriaville Tigres, Conor Frenette, who finished as the competition’s top scorer with 12 points (6G-6A) in seven games.
The Canadian team thus won a second consecutive gold medal, having defeated the United States by a score of 7-2 during the 2023 edition of the Games.

In 242 career games played in the QMJHL, Conor has accumulated a total of 67 goals and 77 assists, good for 144 points.
