Game Played in Centre sportif Alcoa
General Game Notes: This was the Remparts game from all three periods, shots on net, to power plays. They dominated in almost every category. Ironically enough, the one goal that Baie-Comeau score was shorthanded but it was more Québec being a little too comfortable with the score.

Game Rating
B+
Gilbert possesses a physical presence, leveraging their size to dominate opponents for pucks and control space in their own zone. Their skating ability allows them to excel in transition, facilitating clean exits and entries with ease. As an offensive defenseman, they are skilled at moving the puck and creating pace, often finding ways to beat the opposing team’s forecheck. However, there are moments where their tendency to go solo leaves them exposed. One area of strength is their lateral mobility along the blue line, enabling them to stay in position and react effectively.

Comments: Gilbert is a specimen, in the best way possible. He has a presence out there that is undeniable, given his size and what he can do with the puck on his stick. A lot of players with his size tend to sit back and watch the play come to them but Gilbert pushes the pace and uses his long stride to expand the ice on the blue line and be the second wave on an offensive rush. He has a unique skill set and size combination where, when he wants to be a physical factor, he can be. Gilbert able to show tonight that one of the better parts to his game is how efficient he moves and looks like he is working a lot less hard than he actually is.

Comments: Cavallin showed that he is good grit to his game, willing to battle, and put the extra effort in to win a loose puck. He is more of a two way player that will provide contact as an F1 and solid back pressure as a defensive forward. Offensively, Cavallin will drive the net and get to dirty areas, but tends to struggle in one on one situations. The skating helps with his defensive play by being able to angle quicker, smaller opponents and keep them to the outside.

Comments: Vlk scored the long goal for his team, short handed tonight. Vlk does not get on the scoresheet often, but this one shift alone made him one of the more effective players on his team. After stripping the puck at the point from the other team, Vlk shot out of a cannon to create a breakaway at the net. For a guy who does not score often, the move he pulled where he went forehand backhand and chipped it over the goalies glove was one of the more impressive goals on the night. His straight line speed is something that he needs to use more, whether that’s on the four check or off the rush and drive more pucks to the top of the crease.

Comments: Despite only seeing eighteen shots in the game tonight, Lelièvre was still solid enough to be one of the better players on the ice. With late kick pad saves, he showed tonight that he is able to stay square to the puck even when the shooter is creating deceptive lateral movement. Not having the best of numbers going into tonight’s game, Lelièvre stepped up and made saves that kept the game close at a time where that could have changed. The momentum he provided allowed his teammates in front of him to capitalize on chances that otherwise would not have been possible.

Comments: Lebel picked up a pretty dynamic assist on the third goal of the game, where he was able to dance around almost every defender in the offensive zone and put a backhand backdoor pass under his teammate’s tape, for he had an empty net to shoot at. He has the feet and hands to extend his possession and can do this with time and space on the perimeter, or dart through the middle of the ice at any time. He is not afraid to challenge one on one making his game a little riskier than others, but he showed he has the skill to convert on these types of plays. He relies on his speed and agility but these parts to his game are at an elite level and make him a threat most times, he has the puck on his stick.

Comments: With three points on the night, Straka was a huge part of his teams offense. Scored a nice goal, being a backdoor option. That really was created more from his teammate than himself, but was in a solid position to convert. He picked up two more assists by simply outworking the opposition, allowing him more time and space to make a play. His game in his own end is a solid part to his game and his ability to hunt loose pucks and keep opponents to the outside is why he is so effective defensively. He makes it difficult for the other team to get to his inside and this is mainly due to his mobility combined with his size.
Mathias Loiselle (C, L, 6’3″, 209, Quebec Remparts, 10/18/2005, Vermont)
Game Rating
Mathias Loiselle is a physical presence on the ice who can be difficult for opponents to match up against. His ability to control his size and maintain pace allows him to effectively play with a larger body, making him a valuable asset in tight spaces. When playing in the middle of the ice, he demonstrates poise and patience, using his size and speed to create time and space to make plays.
1 Viewing
Comments: Loiselle scored a dagger of a goal, being backdoor, and the puck simply just slipped to him, where he was able to find the back than that under no pressure. The power play goal was definitely at a time during the game that allowed it to get out of hand. What Loiselle provides is a calming presence where he can slow the game down offensively and a physical presence defensively that ironically does the same thing. He has good puck skills where he is able to keep the puck close to his body and stick handle quick moves under pressure. His bigger frame allows him to secure space that might be harder for a smaller player to protect.
Charles-Antoine Dube (LW, L, 5’10”, 166, Quebec Remparts, 01/15/2008)

Charles-Antoine Dubé was a driving force on offense tonight, showcasing his creativity and dynamic playmaking ability. He was often the focal point of the team’s attack, with several scoring opportunities arising from his presence on the ice. However, his smaller stature requires him to be mindful of positioning in his own end, which may limit his defensive prowess. Dubé has a tendency to focus on offense, typically maintaining possession of the puck and creating scoring chances through his skills. While this approach often yields results, it is essential for him to develop strategies to improve his defense and reduce turnovers in his own end.

Comments: Dubé was one of the better players on the ice in small areas with his agility and quickness. He showed tonight that he is hard to get a body on. Of course, he is smaller and relies on his quickness to be effective, but when his motor is going he is very effective on the perimeter. At times tonight, he shied away from contact, making his game a bit one dimensional. He needs to find a way to get to the inside and be comfortable in dirty areas so he can hold on to pucks longer and create better scoring chances.
Nikita Ovcharov (LW, R, 6’2″, 196, Quebec Remparts, 02/17/2008)

Ovcharov showcases a well-rounded skill set on the ice. As a skater, he possesses a good pace and is able to make plays off the rush and in the offensive zone with ease. He excels as a carrier, using his size and fluid movement to control the puck and create scoring opportunities. Defensively, Ovcharov is solid, often closing out checks with his feet and body. When on the ice, he understands how to move the puck to teammates in scoring positions. While not overly dynamic in tight spaces, he knows when to pass rather than shoot. His size and stride give him an advantage in certain situations, allowing him to escape space if needed. Around the net, Ovcharov’s skills shine, as he can beat defenders with quick stick handling or use his size to jam the net.

Comments: Ovcharov picked up a nice goal, getting a stick on a point shot and being able to redirect it into the back of the net. Ovcharov at times, he has a more wait and see approach where he drifts around to find dead ice and is not afraid to possess net front space. He has the ability to turn the jets on and use his feet as an asset, but for the most part, he stays positionally sound, waiting for the play to come to him. With that being said, he converts and is an offensive threat because he can make a play quicker than some of his peers. He slows the game down this way, and because of this, he doesn’t panic with the puck.
Charlie Morrison (D, L, 6’3″, 200, Quebec Remparts, 10/12/2007, Connecticut)
Game Rating
A-
Charlie Morrison’s defensive skills are notable for their reliability, as he excels at being physical and distributing the puck effectively. His use of his size to initiate play in the neutral zone is a valuable asset. While his offense is limited, he shows glimpses of potential on occasion.
1 Viewing
Comments: Morrison added to the game seconds after his teammate opened up the scoring. Morrison got a low to high pass where he was able to show a quick release, find a lane, and beat the goalie from the point with a little bit of traffic in front of him. Morrison is more of an unlikely goal scorer, but showed that he has the skill to get to the puck to the net, something that all defensemen, regardless of their play style, need to be able to do. Besides the goal, Morrison was able to show that he is a larger defenseman who moves well, with a good first pass and first stride that make him effective breaking the puck out of his own zone.
Antoine Dorion (C, R, 6’1″, 198, Quebec Remparts, 11/02/2005)
Game Rating
B+
Dorion’s skills on the ice are evident in his versatility and adaptability. He consistently uses his size, mobility, and offensive awareness to be a factor in both defensive and offensive situations. When attacking, Dorion showcases his agility, quickly changing direction to evade defenders and create space. His efficient stride allows him to maintain speed while keeping lateral movement, making it difficult for opponents to anticipate his next move. Dorion’s accuracy with his wrist shot is also noteworthy, given his size and strength. He is capable of playing a physical game, using his body to win battles in front of the net. In possession, he demonstrates good vision and positioning, often finding open space to attack and create opportunities for himself and his linemates.
1 Viewing
Comments: Dorion has some Jets on him and showed tonight that he likes to play with pace with the puck. A couple times tonight, he took the puck from his own end and was a one-man breakout machine, going end to end just to set the puck up in the offensive zone. What he is able to do better than his peers is scan the ice while chopping his feet. He was not able to get on the score sheet tonight but might have had a couple of third assists, meaning that the play started with him. He has that type of mobility in his game where he can change directions on a dime, making it hard for larger defensemen to keep a tight gap.

Comments: Rousseau-Hamel open the scoring with a controversial goal that needed extra time for it to be reviewed, but make no mistake, Rousseau-Hamel used his speed to beat the goalie to the near post. This play all started with him possessing the puck around the perimeter, which is what he does best, but ended with him getting to the inside and bearing a rebound left all alone near the net. He plays fast and at a pace that is hard to match. One of the better parts to his game is how much he wants the puck on a stick and the confidence he has when he does have possession. Maybe at times a little too confident with the extra stick handle or move.
