Montreal, February 21st, 2009 - Tonight at the Verdun Auditorium, the Juniors hosted the Gatineau Olympiques for the fourth time this season.

The Montreal Juniors were strong against Gatineau throughout the first period. Louis-Marc Aubry gave his team an early lead by scoring his 13th of the season assisted by Hubert Genest. In the second period, the Juniors earned six penalties while the Olympiques earned five. Neither teams were able to brake the scoreboard during powerplays. The score remained 1-0. Tomas Parkes finally put one through Clermont at 17:26 into the third period. Seconds after, his teammate Nicolas Chouinard assured the Junior with the win, scoring his 20th of the season. Olympiques' Benjamin Laliberté would not leave without a goal and defeated Bérubé at 19:54.
