After a strong rookie season, overage defenseman Teo Besnier will not return to the Drummondville Voltigeurs for the 2025-26 season, instead landing with the USHL's Dubuque Fighting Saints.
Besnier, 20, put up 28 points (4+24) with the Volts in 2024-25, helping the team remain a top club. The 5-foot-9 French defenseman was the team's 2024 first round import selection at pick #49.
Among Drummondville's other notable overage departures include home-town goaltender Louis-Felix Charrois (.910 through 43 games), 2025 trade deadline acquisitions forward Nathan Baril (137 in 253) and defenseman Samuel Kingsley (39 in 162).
