How About A Goalie Goal...???

((HT: TSN BarDown))

For this, which is always cool, we go to the Quebec Major Junior League

Cape Breton (which is responsible for the video) Screaming Eagles goalie Francois Brassard pulled this off against Quebec


According to the QMJHL, Brassard becomes only the fourth goaltender in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League history to score, behind Antoine Lafleur (P.E.I., 2005), Maxim Gougeon (Rimouski, 2008) and Peter Delmas (Lewiston, 2008).

Quebecor Buys Remparts: Is This The First Step...???

((HT: Montreal Gazette))

The HQ believes it is, yes...

For a reported $20-25 million pricetag, Quebecor Media has picked up the QMJHL's Quebec Remparts franchise and will move them into their soon-to-be-constructed Quebecor Arena in September 2015.

From the QMJHL, Rouyn-Noranda Huskies Jason Fuchs was playing D and the power of the shot sheared his finger from his hand. It was, thankfully, sewn back on and he will be able to recover. But there's no timetable on his return to the ice in his team's playoff series with the Quebec Remparts...
