71 QMJHL Alumni in the NHL
Published on October 7, 2025 under Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) News Release
The 2025-2026 National Hockey League season begins today and 71 former QMJHL players are part of the 32 opening-day rosters.
The Montreal Canadiens lead the NHL with six QMJHL alumni, which are Zackary Bolduc, Alexandre Carrier, Noah Dobson, Samuel Montembeault, Joe Veleno and William Trudeau, who is currently on the injured list.
An NHL team located very close to QMJHL territory, the Ottawa Senators, follows with five former members of our league, namely Thomas Chabot, Claude Giroux, David Perron, Jordan Spence and Drake Batherson, who is also currently injured.
The New Jersey Devils also have five QMJHL alumni, and not the least: Jake Allen, Nico Hischier, Timo Meier, Dawson Mercer and Ondrej Palat.
Twenty-nine of the 32 NHL clubs employ at least one of our former skaters. The only exceptions are the Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets.
Note that with the addition of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the Western Hockey League (WHL), no less than 402 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) alumni will start the season in the NHL, which is nearly half of the league's total roster (48%).
On that note, we wish a good season to our 71 former players!
