St. Louis Blues prospect Zachary Bolduc has helped lead the Quebec Remparts to the 2023 QMJHL Championship – the team’s first in 47 years.
Bolduc, who was drafted No. 17 overall by the Blues in the 2021 NHL Draft, tallied 19 points (11 goals, eight assists) in 18 games to propel a dominant tournament run and earn a berth in the 2023 Memorial Cup.
The Remparts only took two playoff losses en route to the QMJHL’s Gilles-Courteau Trophy, winning the tournament final in six games over the Halifax Mooseheads. Bolduc scored the game-winning goal in their Game 4 win, and added another goal in the clinching Game 6, a 5-4 victory.
In the regular season, Bolduc tallied 50 goals and 60 points in 61 games, leading his team and ranking fourth in the League as the Remparts finished with the No. 1 overall record.
The 2023 Memorial Cup, which pits the winners of the three CHL junior leagues against each other, begins May 26 in Kamloops, British Columbia. The winners of the QMJHL, OHL, WHL, as well as the hosting Kamloops Blazers, face off for the biggest junior hockey championship in North America.
Jake Neighbours competed in the 2022 Memorial Cup after leading the Edmonton Oil Kings to the WHL title.
