This isn't going to be a long thread, full of stories, its more of a 'keep track of progress' thing.
2019/20 Season
Val D'Or Foreurs 11th, 68GP 34-30-4, 72pts
Playoffs - 2nd Round, lost to Sherbrooke 4-3, 1st Round, 4-1 v Rouyn-Noranda
Top scorer - Rudolfs Polcs, 61GP, 31-40-71. 12th highest scorer in the league, and a solid threat throughout the season.
Jonathan Lemieux also had a solid season between the pipes, playing 49 times, for 25 wins with 2 shut outs, .894 SV% and 3.38 GAA. Hopefully, he will improve next season with a better defence in front of him, as Xavier Bolduc will move on.
The first season consisted of moving one or two players around into the Jr B league, as well as trying to get some depth in the squad.
3 trades were made during the season.
- LW Benjamin Dion (18y/o 32GP, 2-7-9, 8PIM) was traded to Charlottetown for RW Cole Edwards (19y/o 23GP, 8-10-18, 21PIM), this would bring a bit of depth to the right wing, where we were lacking, and also provide a little bit more scoring.
- LW Alexandre Doucet (18 y/o 30GP, 5-19-14 22PIM) to Blainville-Boisbriand for LD Nathan Lavoie (19 y/o 33GP, 7-11-18 17PIM). We needed a stay home defenceman, and Lavoie brought that, as well as being a leader so that the younger players had a bit of support.
- LD Aléc Rhéaume (18y/o, 11GP, 0-3-3 4PIM) to Acadie-Bathurst for LW/C David Doucet (16 y/o 30GP, 5-10-15 6PIM) . A fringe defenceman with no massive upside, for a decent young prospect who had the makings of a good two way forward. Played 3rd/4th line minutes once he came to North West Quebec.
