The QMJHL will lose it's first star early to the NCAA as Baie-Comeau Drakkar star forward, and Carolina Hurricanes prospect Justin Poirier for the 2025/26 season.

Poirier, 18, is coming off of a 58 game, 80-point season (43+37) with the Drakkar, finishing with the fourth most goals in the league.

He joined the Carolina Hurricanes organization last season, getting selected in the fifth round of the NHL draft following a 51-goal season.
