Paul Gagne, Head Coach and General Manager, has announced his pre-season roster for this weekends’ home-and-home series with the Kirkland Lake Blue Devils. The 20-man line-up includes eight returning veterans.
The ‘big news’ in camp is the return of 20-year-old Marc-Alain Begin. Begin last played for the black-and-gold during the 2009-10 Copeland Cup championship season racking up 98 points in just 40 regular season games (39 goals) , good for second spot in the league scoring race won by line-mate and fellow Hearst native Felix Boutin (99 points).
Begin moved up to major junior with the Val D’Or Foreurs last season amassing 40 points (16 goals) in 70 games.
