Yea Warren was more a shot in the dark. Luneau and Lamoureux are pretty good tho

I believe Sportsnet may have put a list out around that post and Gaucher was in the last couple picks of round 1.

I find Gaucher overrated. If he was 5'10", he would be a late round pick at best.

QMJHL: New Brunswick teams could train in Bas-Saint-Laurent

The three teams would like to take advantage of the health measures linked to the pandemic, which are less restrictive in Quebec than in New Brunswick, to resume their activities. Currently in New Brunswick, only sports activities with people from the same family bubble are authorized.

Ultimately, it is the leaders of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey LeagueLHJMQ who will have to decide whether or not to accept the request from the New Brunswick teams.

At the same time, the league is continuing its discussions with New Brunswick Public Health to allow teams to resume training as soon as possible.

“While awaiting a decision, our teams are exploring all possible avenues to resume training. »

— A quote from Maxime Blouin, communications manager, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League
According to the communications manager for the City of Rivière-du-Loup, Pascal Tremblay, the Sea Dogs organization would have liked to be in Rivière-du-Loup this week.

For its part, the City of Mont-Joli says it has not had any requests in this regard so far. For her part, a spokeswoman for Trois-Pistoles points out that her Municipality has been approached, but that the arena will not be rented for this purpose.

Exactly. I'm guessing this is a tactic to get the Government of NB to simply allow them to practice in NB. If they insist on practicing somewhere, then it would make more sense to allow them to do so in NB than have them travel to Quebec to do so and then return to NB.

Agreed. Its an insult to Quebec to ask them to let teams practice there but not in your own province.

What if Quebec flipped the script and said the Maritimes are better off then us so...Quebec goes to Truro to train, Val d'Or to Mirimachi, Gatineau to Cheticamp...I somehow think some Maritimers might view that as an issue lol

I disagree wholly with the concept of trying to avoid the lockdown, but want to point out that as long as the Foreurs traveled as a team and stayed together, they are technically allowed to practice in Miramichi (because they would be considered a single house bubble).

The issue is that the players for the teams here live with a family and therefore would require a second bubble just to be able to interact with teammates (unless the team had put everyone in a hotel together or similar establishment before lockdown started)
