September 27, 2025 - St. John 5, Halifax 3 (QMJHL)

Shawn Carrier Halifax Mooseheads  14-Mar-07 5-10 183  LW (Undrafted 2025)
Carrier is short, thick and agile, and is good down low and around the net.  Is able to get the puck on the net in the offensive zone.  Good energy, had a power play goal early in the 2nd period to give his team the lead  Line was 59-18-26-44 at Halifax last year but was passed over in the 2025 draft.  A jump in scoring would help him in looking for a 2026 draft slot.

Liam Kilfoil Halifax Mooseheads  21-Mar-07 5-11 179 LC  (Undrafted 2025)
Kilfoil is around the puck all the time and is good at getting possession. Showed some good carry into the offensive zone, dug the puck out of the corner and had an assist; had some other nice passes too.  Active in all zones, contests for the puck in deep and along the boards.  Had 62-21-25-46 at Halifax last year, with his good energy and some more scoring could get consideration in 2026 draft.  Kilfoil was at the Detroit NHL camp and just returned, also he will play at Northeastern starting in 2027.

Oleg Kulebyakin Halifax Mooseheads  11-Jan-08 5-10 170 LHRW  (2026 eligible)
Kulebyakin is new to the QMJHL, he is not large but is very active and has a nose for the net.  Reads the play well and is dangerous on offense, had a back door goal early and several chances throughout the game.  Plays on the left on the power play, and sometimes plays as a LHRW.  Had a nice defensive breakup on a 2-on-1 rush late in the game.  Showed talent last year with 33-33-39-72 in 16U AAA.  Not ranked right now, but could jump up into the rankings for the 2026 draft.

Olivier Groulx    Saint John Sea Dogs 25-Jul-07 6-2  192  LC (Undrafted 2025)
Groulx has the size to play the physical game and is a well-rounded player.  Carries well and can make good passes; had an assist in this game and plays up high to distribute on the power play.  Was passed over in the 2025 draft after 64-17-24-41 at SJ last year.  Has shown leadership and wore an "A" last year.  If scoring and physical play stand out more, could work his way into the 2026 draft.

Olivers Murnieks  Saint John Sea Dogs  31-Jul-08 6-1 194  LC (2026 eligible, Wiz #45)
Murkieks has good size and showed speed and agility in the game.  Plays the wing on the power play.  Was able to get some chances and hit the post on one rush, stole the puck in the offensive zone and got a shot chance but it was tipped away.  Won 10 of 17 faceoffs, and was a threat in the game although not denting the score sheet.  Ranked in the second round for the 2026 draft and his raw tools show why.  52-15-20-35 for Sioux City USHL last year and played well for Latvia in international play.  5 assists in 4 game so far this year.

Dylan Rozzi  Saint John Sea Dogs  8-Mar-08 5-11 174  LW (2026 eligible. Wiz #156)
Rozzi had a goal close in and was dangerous on the power play.  Is able to carry the puck in the zone and maneuver well.  Had a shot block on defense.  Has added some weight this year and may be able to use that as the season goes on.  Had 62-14-20-34 last year in Saint John, and 4 points in 4 games so far this year.  Looks to be in the mid rounds for the 2026 draft.

William Yared  Saint John Sea Dogs  21-Jan-08 6-2 190  RC (2026 eligible)
A player with nice size and a consistent game.  Did not notice any outstanding plays, but at the end of the night had a goal and 2 assists.  Played down low on the power play and scored.  Not ranked for 2026 but with more good games like this could easily find a 2026 draft slot.

Cameron Chartrand  Saint John Sea Dogs  3-Mar-08 6-0 204 RD  (2026 eligible, Wiz #47)
Good sized, thick RD who showed well on defense tonight.  Has a good point shot that he can get through to the goal.  Seems mobile and able to move well side-to-side on defense.  Skills show why he could go fairly high in the 2026 draft.

2027 Eligibles:
Alexis Joseph Saint John Sea Dogs 16-Jun-09 6-4 201 LC  
Joseph was a #1 pick in the QMJHL entry draft.  New to the league, good size, active, had a hat trick in this game, good on the attack.  Someone to watch for 2027.

Malik L'Italien Halifax Mooseheads 10-Jun-09 6-3 187 LD
A high pick in the QMJHL draft, was very active and showed well on both offense and defense.  Had an impressive end-to-end rush for a shot, good on offense, mobile on defense.  2027 eligible.
