Former Canadiens Player Signs With Colorado
In July 2024, Montmagny, PQ native Alex Barre-Boulet signed a one-year, one-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens. With 68 NHL games under his belt, the 28-year-old left-shot center was hoping to be able to make the team in October. He made the opening night roster, played the first two games, but was kept off the scoreboard and was swiftly waived and assigned to the Laval Rocket when he went unclaimed.

Gavin McKenna closing in on college decision
The hockey world has been patiently waiting in anticipation this offseason for the announcement of probable number 1 overall 2026 draft pick Gavin McKenna's future playing destination. Well according to Jordan Schmaltz, that decision is pending. The Whitehorse native will likely be heading to Penn State University next season. It has been known he would be making the college jump for quite some time, with the other top contender being Michigan State University. It looks like Gavin has gone with Penn State. Advertisement A big loss for Canadian junior hockey will be another's gain. This will be huge news not only for Penn State, but the entire college hockey universe as Gavin McKenna is one of the most hyped up NHL prospects in recent memory. He has drawn comparisons to Blackhawks prodigy Connor Bedard, the two even sharing distant relations as cousins. The former Medicine Hat Tiger of the WHL posted 41 goals and 88 assists for 129 points in 56 games last season during the team's championship winning season. He amassed 9 goals and 29 assists for 38 points in 16 playoff games. The club did fall short to the London Knights in the Memorial Cup Final. McKenna also appeared in the World Junior Championships for Team Canada this past season as a 17 year old, recording 1 goal in 5 games during the team's disappointing run in the tourney. Gavin went on a crazy run of 54 games in a row registering at least one point this past season. And keep in mind, this was all in a year where he wasn't even eligible to be drafted. It will be fun to see what Gavin McKenna can do next season playing in the NCAA.

CHICAGO (AP) — Joey Loperfido homered and drove in three runs, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 8-4 on Monday night for their ninth consecutive win. Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes also connected as AL East-leading Toronto improved to 27-10 in its last 37 games.

The right-hander improved to 16-6 with a 2.96 ERA in 27 career starts against Chicago. Mike Tauchman had three hits and two RBIs for the last-place White Sox, who won two of three at Toronto last month. Colson Montgomery, one of the team's top prospects, went 0 for 3 with a walk in his home debut. The Blue Jays opened an 8-1 lead when they scored five times in the sixth. Barger hit a two-run drive off Sean Burke for his 12th homer, and Loperfido chopped a two-run single over a drawn-in infield. Burke (4-8) was charged with six runs and six hits in five-plus innings. The right-hander allowed two earned runs in 16 1/3 innings over his previous three outings. Key moment Loperfido and Lukes hit back-to-back homers in the fifth, giving Toronto a 3-1 lead. It was Loperfido's first homer of the season and No. 5 for his career. Key stat It was Chicago's eighth consecutive home loss against Toronto.
