Quebec Remparts 0 VS Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 7

Venue: Centre Excellence Sports Rousseau

#27 D, Charlie Morrisson

Team: Quebec Remparts

Height/Weight 6’3”, 200Ibs

Shoots: Left

DOB: October 12th, 2007

Overview:

Charlie Morrisson is a mobile yet steady defensive defenseman who effectively leverages his size. His physicality is his biggest asset, consistently punishing opponents across the ice. While his shot has power, he often misses the net, keeping his shots low and following through would create more rebound chances. He needs to build confidence and composure with the puck, as he can struggle under pressure. His passing is solid and supports his teammate’s transitions, though his defensive awareness with the puck can lapse, leaving him vulnerable. At 6’3”, he moves well with fluid transitions and long strides but must quicken his footwork vastly. Defensively, his awareness and stickwork make him tough to beat, excelling in poke checks and interceptions. Although usually well-positioned, he occasionally overcommits on pinches and must watch his discipline.

Player Projection

Ceiling: Top-5 Defenseman

Floor: AHL Top-2 Dman

Special Teams: PK2

Production Outlook: 5~ Goals, 15~ Points

Pick Range: Mid 2nd round

Player Comp: Brendan Dillon

Strengths:

Defensive Play without the puck: Extremely strong in positioning, stickwork, and defending the rush, making him difficult to beat in one-on-one situations.
Passing: A strong passer, particularly on breakouts, with the ability to make accurate and quick passes under pressure.
Physicality: Tremendously imposing on the opposition, a menace when boxing out the opposition and throwing heavy checks along the boards.

Weaknesses:

Shooting: Needs to improve accuracy and intelligence on his shots, particularly from long-range.
Confidence with the puck, especially in his own end: Needs let the game come to him more than him trying to force a play, needs to be mindful of his surroundings.
Lateral Flexibility: Has difficulty crossing over to his forehand side, lacks flexibility.

In-game Observations:

At 6:05 of the 1st, Morrisson although was in position to defend Carbonneau, he was not keeping his feet moving, led to him getting side stepped by Carbonneau easily.
At 14:03 of the 1st, although seemed like he was in position, yet again wasn’t keeping his feet in constant motion, O. Lemieux slipped by him and gained an in tight scoring chance.
Although throughout the game, has been consistent at passing the puck flat and hard, at 12:10 of the 2nd, wasn’t mindful enough about the opposition on the forecheck, his pass got intercepted.
Throughout the early stages of the 3rd, was developing confidence when it came to shooting the puck low, led to pucks being on goal, creating rebounds.
At 11:40 of the 3rd, while facing pressure, was able to smoothly spin away from the forecheck while maintain control of the puck, then crisply break a puck through the neutral zone.

#26 F, Maddox Dagenais

Team: Quebec Remparts, QMJHL
Height/Weight: 6’4”, 196 lbs
Shoots: Left
DOB: March 27th, 2008

Overview:

His ability to read plays and his strong net-front presence make him a very intriguing and trustworthy prospect who can play in any situation asked. This is due to his excellent strength at protecting the puck and being a menace around the net which allows him to be a lot more unpredictable with the puck and ultimately be a more creative. What is amazingly seen in Dagenais’ game however is his strong vision as he is excellent at knifing the puck through traffic from down low. Even though his passes may not always be the crispest, he understands the mindset of where his teammates are going to be. He could use some work in defensive reliability as there are occasions where will “reach” for the puck instead of “hunt” for the puck, but he really needs to work on his explosiveness so he could become a more intense player when it comes to his physicality due to his great size.

Player Projection

Ceiling: Top-9 Scoring Forward

Floor: Bottom-6 Forward
Special Teams: PP2 (Net-Front)
Production Outlook: 45–50~ Points
Pick Range: 30th-55th Overall

Player Comp: Mason Marchment

Strengths:

Physicality: When in use, really understanding how to throw his weight around and use his size to his advantage.
Offensive Awareness: Strong understanding of zone coverage, allowing him to navigate through the neutral zone with ease.
Shot: Shows great technique in letting pucks fly quickly as they surprise the goaltender greatly.

Weaknesses:

Skating Explosiveness: Needs to work on his first steps in order to generate his top end speed quicker.
Defensive Awareness: Needs to show more effort and attention to detail in his defensive game, needs to be mindful of his stick.
Consistent Effort: Though has gotten much better, needs to be a bit more consistent with giving it all every shift.

In-game Observations:

At 5:57 of the 1st, on the PP, although shown his opportunistic mindset when shooting the puck along with emphasis on hip rotation, needs to control his follow through as the puck went high. Moments later at 6:05, was not patient when receiving a pass on his backhand, Carbonneau took advantage of loose puck.
At 0:36 of the 2nd, although displayed great engagement and powerful strides on a 2-on-1 rush, after receiving a pass, he worried a bit too much about stickhandling instead of using his strength, being his shot.
At 5:05 of the 2nd, got easily knocked off the puck and turned it over to Zonnon. Needs to develop stronger and wider lower core stability.
At 12:21 of the 2nd, showcased his ability to be quick with his hands, though needs to develop a bit more patience with it. Luckily Ovcharov was in position to recover loose puck in o-zone.
At 1:30 of the 3rd, on PP, displayed more of his shooting mentality and hitting one-timers hard, though follow through needs to be more controlled. Moments later, although hustled hard initially, was reaching a bit too much into Desjardins when trying to stop breakaway. Led to Desjardins scoring on penalty shot.
Throughout the game, although not consistent, has displayed his ability to win timely faceoffs.

#25 F, Nikita Ovcharov

Team: Quebec Remparts, QMJHL
Height/Weight: 6’2”, 195 lbs
Shoots: Right
DOB: February 17th, 2008

Overview:

Defined by his relentless work ethic and high motor, he drives play with constant pressure on the opposition due to his quickness in his footwork. What needs work in his skating however is that his mechanical stride is lacking as he lacks putting major emphasis on his leg extensions as he doesn’t appear as fast as he should on the ice. His hands need work as he lacks consistency at keeping the puck settled on the rush. Offensively, his shot is his best trait as he really puts emphasis in using his lower body but most importantly, does not take much time as he can shoot it very quick not even controlling the puck. Defensively, he’s greatly reliable and willing to sacrifice the body, but his positioning needs a bit of work as he just needs to be a bit sounder positionally in order for rewards to come his way. What will really put him into an NHL level is the high-level physicality he plays at as not only, he’s hard on the forecheck, but he finishes his checks clean and hard. Due to his high motor, he shows great character at having the mentality he’s going to win every battle he enters.

Player Projection:

Ceiling: Middle 6 Scoring Winger

Floor: AHL 1st Line Forward

Special Teams: PP2

Production Outlook: 15~ Goals, 30~ Points

Pick Range: 61st-100th Overall

Player Comp: Miles Wood

Strengths:

High Motor and Conditioning: Keeps moving and doesn’t quit on any given play.
Quick Snapshot: Does not take long to quickly put his weight into his shots.
Physicality: Hard on the forecheck, throws his body along the boads, wins puck battles.

Weaknesses:

Puck Handling: Lacks consistency in being patient with his stick movement, looks somewhat choppy.
Stride Mechanics: Although shows excellent footwork, he has very short strides which limits his top end speed.
Defensive Positioning: Although shows great engagement by sacrificing the body, definitely needs to be sounder on his wing. Needs to be mindful of stick actions as well.

In-game Observations:

At 15:17 of the 1st, because of him playing in position on the break out, Ovcharov was able to quickly redirect puck to his centerman, led to Quebec then transitioning quickly in the o-zone.
At 8:20 of the 2nd, on PP, displayed great support for his defenseman, aided on the breakout, allowing for Quebec to quickly transition in the offensive zone and set themselves up.
At 12:21 of the 2nd, after Dagenais over handled puck, Ovcharov was in position to recover the loose puck, walked in and showcased quick hip rotation mechanics in his shot. Followed through with his shot low, on goal. Moments after, playing down low, had another chance.
From 13:00-13:55 of the 3rd, was becoming unpredictable with his shot/pass ratio, utilizing his teammates to create more optimal shooting lanes.
At 15:01 of the 3rd, needed to be mindful of his actions with his stick, took what would have been a tripping penalty if it wasn’t for Lavigne scoring.

#21 D, Jan Golicic
Team: Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, QMJHL
Height/Weight: 6’5″, 201 lbs
Shoots: Left
DOB: June 30th, 2006

Overview:

Jan Golicic is a poised puck moving/defensive defenseman who relies on his size, reach, and patience to shut down opponents. Steady in his own zone, he plays with a sound mind, letting the game come to him and forcing the opposition to make the mistake. His shot is used intelligently. When discussing his mechanics though, although follow through’s low, he lacks emphasis on hip rotation which is why his shots are not powerful. Jan’s main weakness lies in his puck handling as he does maintain good control, but his stick movement is considered choppy. His passing is his best offensive trait as he keeps every pass very flat on the ice which eases transition greatly, especially from breakouts. Skating-wise, he has a strong forward stride but lacks explosiveness in his reverse and lateral movement, which can expose him against quicker opponents. Defensively, he uses his reach and stickwork well to disrupt plays and maintain strong positioning. What he will need to work on is becoming imposing physically. That first starts by putting a lot more weight on so he can build that confidence up. Then it’s the matter of knowing how to throw it.

Player Projection

Ceiling: Top 5 Puck Moving/Shutdown Defenseman

Floor: 7th Defenseman

Special Teams: PK2

Production Outlook: 10-15~ Points

Pick Range: 118th overall

Player Comp: Nic Hague/

Strengths:

Defensive Play: Strong positional awareness, great at using his reach and stick to break up plays and prevent offensive pressure.
Skating Strides: Strong stride generates speed for him to win races.
Puck Distribution: Displays great consistency at moving the puck crisply. Keeps his passes very flat which aids transition greatly.

Weaknesses:

Puck Handling: Struggles when carrying the puck up the ice with confidence.
Shot Power: Displays great intelligence of walking into shoot and following through low, though lacks a lot of emphasis on hip rotation to get that power off.
Lateral Movement: Needs to improve reverse skating and lateral movement to handle faster, smaller players effectively.

In-game observations:

At 10:30 of the 1st, Jan was pushed off the puck easier than normal and lost possession of it, led to chaos in the Armada crease.
At 15:17 of the 1st, Jan needs to be a bit more mindful when he’s pinching of the situation given, Ovcharov redirected puck to his centerman, Jan had to skate hard back to get back into position, led to valuable energy wasted.
Throughout the 1st period, displayed consistent puck distribution as he would pass the puck crisply on the tape. Especially during the last minute of the 1st, also diversifying his shot/pass ratio, shot low, was rewarded with an assist on Armada’s 1st goal.
At 7:15 of the 2nd, displayed strong balance and strength, manhandled the opposing puck carrier with a heavy hit at the blueline when defending the rush.
At 9:59 of the 3rd, throughout this game, has been developing great confidence when controlling the puck. This case was when Armada was on the PP as he was generating self-confidence when walking the blueline and crisply distributing pucks. As a result, it led to him creating himself space and utilizing teammates to then rip a shot home in a wide open net.
At 16:45 of the 3rd, displayed more confidence in the o-zone handling the puck, deked his way into the slot and crisply distributed over to Grenier for a primary assist on Armada’s 7th goal.

#8 F, Justin Carbonneau
Team: Blainville-Boisbriand Armada QMJHL
Height/Weight: 6’1”, 201 lbs
Shoots: Right
DOB: November 25, 2006

Overview:

Carbonneau’s game is best described as explosive and powerful as he’s constantly in motion maneuvering his way by or through the opposition with ease. His hands are as quick his foot speed, creating opportunities for himself and his teammates, especially on the rush. A little bit about his skating, although he doesn’t fully extend his strides, he generates tremendous acceleration due to the explosive footwork, getting himself at top speed very quickly. His best trait by far however is no doubt about it is his shot as it is NHL ready. It packs tremendous punch due to how much emphasis he places on leveraging the strength of his hips. This is keeping in mind that his follow through is controlled for how much power he brings. For his size, he is very physically involved as his hits are very impactful when he throws them. Where his game needs work is in his own end as he isn’t sound defensively by any means which he needs to be a lot more conscious of. This also goes for his effort level in his own end. One aspect that could be noted too is that he could utilize his teammates more.

Player Comp: Ilya Kolvalchuk

Strengths:

Shot Release: His shot is fast and powerful, with a near-instant release with strong emphasis on hip rotation.
Puck Handling: His quick hands are as agile as his feet, weaving his way by the opposition with ease.
Offensive Zone Compete Level/Awareness: Displays relentless effort in the o-zone, understands how he needs to position himself to retrieve the puck via a pass or broken play.

Weaknesses:

Defensive Positioning: He can sometimes get out of position defensively, creating openings for the opposition.
Lateral Skating: Although he has a quick stride, his transitions and crossovers occasionally lack smoothness.
Teammate Utilization: Although displays strong playmaking traits, he relies a bit too much on himself to make the big play.

In-Game Observations

At 6:05 of the 1st, after Dagenais turned the puck over, Carbonneau with momentum while receiving a pass from Nobert, displayed great anticipation to cross through Morrisson on his backhand side, goaltender made a good save.
At 17:20 of the 2nd, on 4-on-4, Justin Carbonneau deked by one player in his own end, then used his explosive footwork to then power his way through the o-zone and used great bottom hand activation to roof the puck top shelf for a spectacular goal.
At 7:03 of the 3rd, first created himself space in the o-zone, displayed heavy wrist shot mechanics with emphasis on hip rotation. Moments later, the opposition had a hard time controlling puck, Carbonneau swiped at the puck, not giving up, the puck trickled in.
Throughout the game, although was reasonably sound when it came to his positioning in the defensive end, he still lacked defensive engagement, could have been laying the body more.

#9 F, Bill Zonnon
Team: Blainville Boisbriand Armada, QMJHL
Height/Weight: 6’2”, 190 lbs
Shoots: Left
DOB: October 3, 2006

Overview:

Bill Zonnon brings power and patience as a playmaker. His ability to read plays along with his strong net-front presence make him a very intriguing and trustworthy player who can be placed in any situation asked due to his excellent strength at protecting the puck and being a menace around the net due to his high activity. As hinted, what is mostly seen with his game however is his elite vision as he could really thread the needle with 3 guys that are between his passing lanes. This ties in with the fact that his pure passing mechanics are his bread and butter as he passes a puck very hard and flat. When discussing about his deking ability, he isn’t the quickest when it comes to his puck coordination, but its very controlled. Discussing about his shot, although he demonstrates thorough mechanics on his follow through, he needs to develop confidence at taking advantage of lanes and not waste a half second to shoot. Defensively, he’s very reliable as he plays square in position and is willing to block shots. Where his game needs work is his skating as he really needs to develop more of him fully extending his legs for higher top speed and develop explosiveness laterally.

Player Projection

Floor: Bottom 6 Scoring Forward

Special Teams: PP2, Net Front

Production Outlook: 20~ Goals, 50~ Points

Pick Range: 22nd Overall

Player Comp: Adam Henrique/Nick Bonino

Strengths:

Playmaking and Vision: His awareness in the offensive zone sets him apart from the opposition by deep understanding of his teammate’s positioning.
Size and Physicality: At 6’2”, he’s already a physical presence, which makes him tough to handle around the net and good body positioning.
Patience with the Puck: Zonnon is calm under pressure and takes his time to find the best passing or shooting opportunity.

Weaknesses:

Shooting Confidence: Although demonstrates his ability to really follow through on his shots with power, needs to use it more, allowing for him to be more unpredictable.
Skating Stride and Lateral Explosiveness: Even though he possesses a tall stance, allowing him to visualize the play, he needs to develop quicker but also more fully extended strides.
Strength/Balance: Although has good height and leverages it well fending off the opposition, needs to develop lower core muscle, providing stronger stability when receiving checks.

In-Game Observations:

Displayed consistent puck distribution and utilized his teammates well throughout the whole game, especially seen on the PP.
At 5:20 of the 2nd, after picking the puck from Dagenais, he created his own small rush but was patient and knowledgeable to utilize frame to aid Armada when settling in the o-zone.
Throughout the game, displayed strong support along the wing for his defensemen, aiding Armada to break pucks out cleanly and transitioning quickly.
Throughout the game, when on the PP, although his role is to distribute the puck, he needs to develop a stronger shooting mentality, allowing for him to become less predictable.

#26 F, Mael Lavigne

Team: Blainville Boisbriand Armada, QMJHL
Height/Weight: 6’4”, 196 lbs
Shoots: Left
DOB: February 11th, 2005

Overview:

His ability to read plays and his strong net-front presence make him a very intriguing and trustworthy prospect who can play in many situations when asked. This is due to not his strength at protecting the puck and being a menace around the net but also utilizing a strong motor for someone at his size as it allows him to be impactful as well on the defensive side of the puck. When discussing about his puck skills, although he demonstrates good awareness when timing his puck handling, he isn’t very smoothest when controlling it. Even though his passes may not always be the crispest, he understands the mindset of where his teammates are going to be and utilizes them well. On the defensive end, he does showcase great commitment on the backcheck, though what will be key for him is to develop consistency of playing sound in position. His stride although quick for a bigger player, can emphasize more leg extension to create himself higher top speed. His shot, displays great bottom hand activation, though can follow through quicker. Can also build more muscle to be more impactful physically.

Approximately the 7th minute of the 2nd, displayed a patiently persistent mindset on the PK, forcing the opposition to make mistakes.
At 19:45 of the 2nd, because Lavigne displayed great poise when walking into the slot with the puck, it led to the Quebec goalie falling, leading to chaos around the net.
Throughout the game, although not consistent with it, has showcased his ability to win faceoffs when needed, a key tool used to be a diverse forward.
At 15:05 of the 3rd, after entering the offensive zone, Lavigne showcased great anticipation and silky hands to weave his way around the goaltender, tucking the puck in down low for goal.

#11 F, Matt Gosselin

Team: Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, QMJHL

Height/Weight: 5’7”, 168Ibs

Shoots: Right

DOB February 14th, 2006

Overview:

Matt Gosselin is a high-motor, two-way center known for his defensive reliability, strong positioning, and relentless compete level. Though undersized, he compensates with explosive edgework and smart support play in all zones, frequently aiding breakouts and engaging in puck battles through timing and anticipation rather than physical strength. Offensively, he plays a simple game—his shot lacks power, but he generates chances through smart positioning, rebound creation, and crisp, accurate passing. However, he struggles with puck control under pressure and can rush decisions, particularly when space tightens. On the power play, he’s learning to exploit soft coverage areas but must focus on consistently putting pucks on net rather than aiming for perfection. Defensively, he truly excels on the penalty kill with strong gap control, fearless shot blocking, and disciplined reads. His compete level stands out every shift, consistently backchecking hard and sacrificing his body when needed. What really helps out his defensive play mentioned earlier is his explosive edges. Although he does not get the most power from his stride, his quick footwork allows him to explode quickly in order to win puck battles.

Defensive Awareness: Consistently positions himself well and disrupts plays with interceptions and shot blocks.
Compete Level: Willingness to do anything for the team (Blocking shots, getting involved hard in puck battles).

Weaknesses:

Consistency in puck skills: Although showcases great 1-on-1 ability against the goaltender, he needs to be crisper with his hand movement when controlling the puck on the rush.

In-game Observations:

At 2:10 of the 1st, Gosselin was playing down low in position, was able to fend off rebound chance and clear puck into safety.
At 8:00 of the 2nd, on PK, after receiving the puck on the rush, did the smart thing by holding it and redistributing the puck back to his defenseman so that Armada can kill PP time.
At 11:10 of the 2nd, although didn’t score, created himself some space to drive to the net and re-direct the puck towards the net, the puck just went high.
Throughout the game, displayed his ability to not only backcheck hard, but to play sound in positioning, containing the opposition at bay.
