The Gatineau Olympiques announced yesterday that they have placed left winger Justin Dumais on waivers.

Dumais, 18, has two points (2+0) over 11 games with the Olympiques to start his 2024-25 season after putting up 23 points (9+14) over 66 games last season.

He was originally acquired by the Olympiques before last season from the Moncton Wildcats who had originally drafted him for a 2025 fifth round pick.

He is the brother of Columbus Blue Jackets prospect and former QMJHL point leader Jordan Dumais.

This is the most recent of a number of moves by Olympiques general manager Serge Beausoleil after the team looks to recover from a disasterous start to the season -- going 2-10-0 over their first 12 games.

Other moves the team have made over the past two weeks include:

Re-acquiring overager Julien Paille from Baie-Comeau
Cutting overage defenseman Emeric Gaudet
Parting ways with overage left winger Nathan Levesque
Signing overager and former OHL defenseman Taos Jordan
Acquiring goaltender Nathan St-Pierre from Blainville

The Olympiques were ranked last in the most recent edition of THN's QMJHL power rankings.
