The 18 year old defenseman played last year for Rimouski in the QMJHL and now has a chance to defend the President Cup title with the Moncton Wildcats.

The Val-d'Or Foreurs sent winger Maxime Lincourt (87-05-05) to the Moncton Wildcats for their fifth round pick in 2007 and their third round pick in 2008.

The Moncton Wildcats have signed 18 years old free agent Joseph Tolles. The 6'00 foot and 180 lbs defenseman played this season for the Powell River Kings in the BCHL accumulating 4 goals, 17 assists for 21 points in 26 games.
