Liam Lefebvre | C | Chicoutimi Saguenéens (QMJHL)

Overage forward Liam Lefebvre has made a seamless transition from United States prep school hockey to Canadian major junior, emerging as an important contributor during a championship run.

The Montreal native recorded 29 points (15 goals, 14 assists) in 35 games with the Rimouski Océanic before being acquired by the Chicoutimi Saguenéens ahead of the trade deadline.

The 6-foot-3, 203-pound center elevated his production after the move to one of the QMJHL’s top clubs, recording 30 points (17 goals, 13 assists) in 25 games. Despite averaging just 14:32 of ice time per game, the Trinity-Pawling alumnus finished third on the team in points per game among skaters who appeared in at least 45 contests.

Lefebvre added four points in four games this past week, helping the Saguenéens secure their first league championship since 1994. His ability to provide secondary scoring and consistent two-way play proved to be an important part of Chicoutimi’s title-winning run.

Final Rankings: An overage prospect who impressed in his QMJHL rookie year. Lefebvre has a pro-level frame already and plays a responsible game. The offense is limited, but he looks like a potential bottom-sixer and a good bet at that. His skating is a plus trait as well, and with a clear development path ahead, he should be able to further improve his all-around game. –
