The Shawinigan Cataractes and Rouyn-Noranda Huskies are also represented on this week's honor team.
Each week, the QMJHL names a "Team of the Week" honoring the league's top players. Three forwards, two defensemen, and one goaltender are selected each week, based on their gameplay from the previous week.

Player of the Week
In addition, the league announces a weekly "Videotron Player of the Week" to acknowledge the top player in the QMJHL. For the week of October 16, 2023, this honor goes to Gatineau forward Jérémie Minville.
The 19-year-old played in four games last week, scoring four goals and five assists, and ending the week with a plus-4 rating. He also notched his first career QMJHL three-point game in the 6-1 defeat of Baie-Comeau Drakkar, and a game-winning goal against the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.
