Boucherville, QC - The QMJHL is proud to announce that Émile Guité of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens is the Rookie of the Year for 2023-2024.

Also named Offensive Rookie of the Year on Tuesday (Michel-Bergeron Trophy), Guité beats out Xavier Villeneuve of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, who was named Defensive Rookie of the Year (Raymond-Lagacé Trophy) yesterday.

The seventh pick in the most recent draft also averaged 0.80 points per game. Only four rookies did better.
