BAIE-COMEAU | Very active from the start of the trading period, the Baie-Comeau Drakkar made another strong move on Monday by trading forward Xavier Fortin to the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
His club’s top scorer (12-18-30 record in 32 games), the 20-year-old veteran leaves the North Shore ship in return for another player of the same age in Charles-Antoine Dumont.
Right winger of 5 feet, 10 inches and 176 pounds, Dumont (record of 6-19-25 in 33 games) also played an important role as captain within the formation of the Centre-du-Québec.
“I heard a lot of good things about Charles-Antoine and when I found out he was available, discussions began and we are very happy to welcome him among us”, commented the general manager of Drakkar Jean- Francois Gregoire.
Lessard back to the game
Signed from the Saint John Sea Dogs earlier this season, 20-year-old veteran Marshall Lessard (lower-body injury) is well recovered and will also return to action after the Christmas break.
Following the barter involving goalkeeper Olivier Adam (traded to Sherbrooke) for two draft picks, the Baie-Comoise squad will begin the second half with forwards Charles-Antoine Dumont, Marshall Lessard and defender Marc-Antoine Messier as players. 20 years old.
After two days of completion in the trading period, the portrait of the Drakkar has changed a lot with the departures of Nathan Baril (Val-d’Or), Andrew Belchamber (Sherbrooke) and Xavier Fortin, as well as the entry on the scene of Charles-Antoine Dumont and Charles-Antoine Lavallée (from Gatineau).
