The opening round of the 2025 QMJHL Entry Draft will take place tonight at Quebec City's Videotron Centre beginning at 8 p.m. Atlantic. Rounds 2-12 will be held Saturday morning beginning at 11 a.m. Atlantic.
The Saint John Sea Dogs are poised to have a busy evening, currently holding the first, 10th and 18th overall selections.
Here's where the Sea Dogs are currently scheduled to pick this weekend.
Round 1, 1st overallRound 1, 10th overall (via Cape Breton)Round 1, 18th overall (via Moncton)Round 2, 29th overall (via Blainville-Boisbriand)Round 6, 94th overallRound 6, 109th overall (via Rimouski)Round 7, 112th overallRound 9, 148th overallRound 11, 184th overallRound 12, 202nd overall
Saint John last picked first overall in 2019, selecting forward Joshua Roy. Other first overall selections by the Sea Dogs include Joe Veleno (2015), Luke Green (2014), Simon Despres (2007), Yann Sauve (2006) and Alex Grant (2005).
6'4", 192 lbs centre Alexis Joseph is likely to be selected first overall by the Sea Dogs.
The Sea Dogs selected three times in the first-round of last year's draft, picking forward William Yared (fifth overall), forward Dylan Rozzi (eighth) and defenseman Cameron Chartrand (19th).
This is obviously a huge day for the Sea Dogs franchise. This draft class along with last year's will be the foundation for the club's next championship run.
Draft day is always an exciting and intriguing day – but perhaps none more than this year's. With the NCAA rule change, we could see some big swings, we could see more Americans picked, we could see some panic and we could see more drama than usual. It's a great time of year.
All the picks will be posted live on the QMJHL's website while the first-round can be watched live on Eastlink TV and TVA Sports.
