The Sherbrooke Phoenix reviewed their 2025-2026 season as largely positive, showcasing growth among a young team. Finishing with a record of 33 wins and 31 losses, the team started strong but struggled during November and December until revitalization followed a mid-season roster overhaul. Key players like goalie Kyan Labb茅, with a 2.74 GAA and .910 save percentage, helped anchor the team, while others like Louis-Alex Tremblay and Jayden Plouffe made significant statistical contributions. The season concluded with a playoff run, but injuries and youth created challenges against the experienced Shawinigan team.

By the Numbers
  • Record: 33 wins, 31 losses
  • Kyan Labb茅 recorded 27 of the team's 33 victories
  • Louis-Alex Tremblay led with 59 points (14 goals, 45 assists)
  • Jayden Plouffe scored 42 points, double his previous season's total
Yes, But

While the Phoenix showed promise, their youth often put them at a disadvantage during critical moments of playoff matches, especially against the experienced Shawinigan team which ultimately eliminated them.

State of Play
  • No less than 15 players could return next season, bolstering the team's core.
  • Shawn Lanoue has departed to join the new hockey program at the University of Sherbrooke.
What's Next

The Phoenix will focus on developing their returning young talent while seeking to fill roles vacated by departing players like Lanoue. They aim to build on this season's progress with a stronger strategy heading into the next year.

Bottom Line

Despite their challenges, the Sherbrooke Phoenix are on a trajectory for success, armed with a promising young roster and valuable lessons learned from the recent season.
