Seventeen of Nova Scotia's top junior hockey prospects are facing off this week at the QMJHL's premier prospect tournament.

The 2023 QMJHL Cup takes place from April 26-30 at the Centre d’excellence Sports Rousseau in Boisbriand, Que. Seventeen N.S. players are among the 40 prospects invited from the Atlantic provinces. The tournament also features the top 80 prospects from Quebec.

The Atlantic Canadian players are playing on two teams: Team Crosby and Team MacKinnon.

The final selection of the prospects was made by the QMJHL’s CSR, under the supervision of Director Pierre Cholette and his team of scouts.

This event is one of the last opportunities for scouts to evaluate players in action ahead of the 2023 QMJHL Entry Draft presented by Fenplast later this spring.
