F Maddox Dagenais - Quinte Red Devils U16 AAA, OMHA U16 (2026 Draft)

[peconcan]

Lalancette reported that he intends to play Ontario Jr. A next year, which could be a smokescreen. However, if we assume that the players selected in the early rounds of the USHL draft are going NCAA (Dagenais, Chartrand, Dube, Rozzi), plus Lawrence who is already USHL tendered, plus O'Donnell who chose the OHL route, plus some of the other Quebec kids rumored to be leaning NCAA (Taillefer, Yared), this might be the least talented draft class (to actually play in the league) I can recall since I've been following the QMJHL.

If that was true and since he played for Quinte odds are he would have been APing for Trenton Golden Hawks or Wellington Dukes throughout the year and then joined them for a playoff run. Both teams are usually powerhouses in the OJHL

It wouldn't shock me if he was only willing to report to Quebec.

Quebec is reportedly acquiring the first overall pick.

Les Remparts de Québec s’apprêtent à frapper un grand coup, selon selon des informations recueillies par Le Soleil.

Quebec acquires the first pick and takes him. His father was also the QMJHL 1st overall pick 29 years ago.

According to my information, Dagenais put pressure by saying that he wanted to play in the USHL and that it was 80% his choice. The Quebec trade was probably made easier by the fact that the player had to settle on this team.

It is quite possible that he wanted to play in a big city.

Pretty cool I created a thread for yet another 1st overall pick. I’m the thread creating goat.

The family liked the idea of Maddox being the 1st overall 29 years after the father.

Congratulations on making your life's dream come true.

I don't think it had a big impact on the choice. Being No. 1 to play in Val d'Or shouldn't have really excited him.

Thank you, you’re really becoming more supportive lately! I love to see it, friend!

Cape Breton had #1 and they had talks with Quebec since they won the draft lottery.

I know it was Cape Breton. It was just to mention that apart from Quebec, it is very possible that no other team interested him.

The other places are located in old and very sparsely populated regions. Not exciting for a young man looking for an attractive wife.

Dagenais will always remain the 3rd amigo in Mtl with Theodore and Ribeiro. Night life superstars

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Is he now committed to the Q or it’s not guaranteed yet?

Pretty much guaranteed.

 

[SI90]

He’s a big boy. Excited to see what he becomes.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

His dad had two things going for him : size and shot.

According to the Remparts head scout, Maddox has the 5 S : size, speed, skills, shot and (hockey) sense.

The question is how elite each of those can be.

I think he is average in one of the 5, maybe even 2.

He'll score a bunch in the Q no doubt though.

Dagenais has signed with Quebec.

I saw Dagenais against Rimouski during the QMJHL preseason, and he was really impressive. One of the best players on the ice.

 

[Lt Dan]

How many times do you think he was called "Dagenitals" on the playground?

 

[SergeConstantin74]

A goal scorer goal for his first in his first game. Also added an assist.

Looks like a top 5-10 pick playing out there. He is legit.
