The QMJHL has become a hot topic around New England since the CHL ruling. Players are now able to play in the CHL and still be eligible for NCAA Division 1 hockey.

That means another junior hockey path is open. For New Englanders, that’s the QMJHL — the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League has regional rights to the six states.

In June, 37 locals were selected in the QMJHL Draft.

Some QMJHL teams are currently in the middle of their rookie camps and training camps, while others will start in the coming days.

Many teams have rookie camps. From there, players can make it to main camp and have a chance to make the real team. Other teams don’t have rookie camps and instead just have a main camp, where they evaluate everyone. Just because someone is on the roster for an upcoming camp does not mean they won’t be back in New England with their prep or full-season team.

For others, however, they may make their QMJHL team and stay. We don’t know who that will be yet.

Players are organized with their name, latest team and date of birth.

Let’s dive in.
