After a disappointing 2022-23 campaign, the Voltigeurs have a strong roster of veteran players led by the likes of Tyler Peddle, Luke Woodworth, Ethan Gauthier and many others. The Volts currently sit first in the Western Conference and third overall in the QMJHL.
The Sea Dogs are coming off a 2-1 overtime loss to the Chicoutimi Sagueneens, a loss that ended a three-game winning streak.
