QMJHL Draft

The QMJHL Draft is an annual process where teams in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League select young players, typically aged 15-17, to join their organization. It allows teams to acquire new talent to develop and compete at the junior level. Players who are eligible often register to be chosen, and the draft order usually depends on teams' performance in the previous season, with weaker teams often selecting earlier to promote competitiveness. This event is a key step in a player's hockey career path, offering opportunities for development, exposure, and future advancement in professional hockey.
