Justin Gendron has joined the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the team announced Saturday morning.

The 20-year-old forward was released by the Saint John Sea Dogs earlier this week.

The Dieppe native appeared in 14 games with Saint John, recording two goals. He was acquired in a trade from the Baie-Comeau Drakkar in November. Before joining the Sea Dogs, Gendron posted two goals and two assists in nine games with the Drakkar.

Gendron played 232 regular season QMJHL games, posting 59 goals and 58 assists.

He joins a UdeM team that is in a fight for top spot in the Atlantic University Sport standings. The Aigles Bleus were ranked sixth in the U Sports men's hockey top-10 rankings last week.

This has been one of the most competitive AUS regular seasons over the past two decades with five teams still within striking distance of first-place.

UdeM's roster also includes former Sea Dogs forward Jeremie Jacob.

UdeM hosts the UNB Reds on Saturday.
