Mikael Hutchette with the Quebec Remparts (Photo: Jonathan Roy)One unexpected consequence from the November ruling permitting CHL players to head south to play collegiate hockey is the exodus of USports stars.
Concordia University's Mikael Hutchette is one of those stars who is taking his talents to the NCAA, committing to Clarkson University for next season.
Hutchette, 21, had 28 points (9+19) across 26 games in his rookie season in USports, winning the OUA championship.
His midas touch isn't new as Hutchette was a decorated player throughout his four QMJHL seasons. Hutchette was a piece in the 2022-23 Quebec Remparts run, which saw him win both a QMJHL championship and a Memorial Cup. He would then be dealt to the Drummondville Voltigeurs to try repeat the feat, winning the QMJHL championship but falling short in the Memorial Cup finals.
All-in-all, Hutchette netted 102 points (38+64) across 156 games in the QMJHL between the Remparts and the Voltigeurs.
