A new champion has been crowned in the QMJHL, and with it a chance to compete for Memorial-Cup glory.
The Chicoutimi Sagueneens topped the Moncton Wildcats 5-1 on Sunday night to win the Gilles-Courteau Trophy for the third time in franchise history.
They will join the WHL's Kelowna Rockets and Everett Silvertips, as well as the OHL's Kitchener Rangers in the Memorial Cup tournament from May 21-31 in Kelowna, B.C.
Emmanuel Vermette had a goal and an assist for Chicoutimi in the win, who also saw Alexis Toussaint, Liam Lefebvre, Christophe Berthelot and Mavrick Lachance score for the winning side.
Utah Mammoth prospect and 2025 fourth-overall pick Caleb Desnoyers scored the lone goal for the Wildcats, who narrowly missed out at becoming back-to-back QMJHL champs following their 2025 win.
