After a hot start to the season, Drummondville Voltigeurs forward Maxime Lafond announced his commitment to the NCAA's Northeastern Huskies.
The 6-foot-5 winger has seven assists in six contests so far this season in what looks like a true breakout season.
Lafond has played recently this season on the second line with Renaud Poulin and Jesse Allecia, helping Drummondville to a 3-1-1-1 record, good for third in the west.

But this year, it seems like the lower levels have paid off, as Lafond has become much more of an impact player in Drummondville, and has secured his NCAA commitment.
