Alex Huang Named Vidéotron Player of the Week: Alex Huang
Published on February 16, 2026 under Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) News Release
The latest Videotron Player of the Week in the QMJHL is defenseman Alex Huang of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens.
The 18-year-old from Rosemère, Quebec scored twice and added five assists as the Sags went a perfect 3-0-0-0 on the week.
On Wednesday night in Baie-Comeau, Huang recorded an assist on the eventual game winning tally early in the second period and the Saguenéens earned a 3-1 triumph over the Drakkar. The third-year veteran also finished the game with a +1 rating.
Back home on Friday night, Huang scored his seventh goal of the season midway through the first period to help pace the Sags to their fourth straight triumph, a 6-4 decision over the Drakkar in the back end of the home-and-home series. Once again, Huang was on the right side of the +/- line, ending the night a +2.
In Rimouski on Sunday afternoon, Huang was locked in. His assist on the game's first goal 1:15 in was the start of a one-goal, four-assist outing for the talented blueliner, his second five-point game of the campaign. He would also finish the game as a +3, not to mention earning first star honors, as the high-flying Sags bested the Océanic by a 9-1 score.
Originally drafted fifth overall by the Saguenéens at the 2023 QMJHL Draft, Huang currently sits second among all 'Q' defensemen with a career-best 53 points through 48 games. Huang was selected by the Nashville Predators in the fourth round at the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
