Halifax Mooseheads General Manager Cam Russell cleared up the 20-year-old, overage situation on the roster on Friday by dealing Stephane Huard Jr to the Shawinigan Cataractes for an 8th Round draft pick in 2025.
The trade gets the Mooseheads back in compliance with the CHL rule of a maximum of three players who are in participating in their 20-year-old season. Newly acquired Alexandre Doucet, Josh Lawrence and Evan Boucher will occupy the overage slots for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.

The forward scored eight goals and added 15 assists and was fifth in team scoring with 23 points, excluding both Doucet and Lawrence who scored the bulk of their points with other teams.
The QMJHL trade period will close on Friday, January 6th.
