QMJHL Prospects Game: 3 Mooseheads Selected
Published on October 9, 2025 under Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Halifax Mooseheads News Release
The QMJHL announced on Thursday the names of the 40 players who will participate in the first-ever QMJHL Prospects Game on October 21, presented by BFL Canada, at the Palais Léopold-Drolet in Sherbrooke. Three forwards from the Halifax Mooseheads were selected to play in the event, including Danny Walters, Will Bent and Oleg Kulebiakin.
The prospects were chosen by a special committee formed by the QMJHL Commissioner's Office and the National Hockey League Central Scouting, since the 40 players selected are obviously eligible for the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.
Note that Lars Steiner, of the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, will not be able to participate in the event due to injury.
The rosters of the two teams, which will be called Team Lafleur and Team Crosby, will be announced in the coming days.
