The Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus head coach, Judes Vallée, has recruited three 20-year old players of the Sherbrooke Phoenix of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) who have signed the U SPORTS letter of intent to suit-up for the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) men’s hockey team for the 2020–2021 season.

Centreman Félix Robert, right-wing Yann-Félix Lapointe and defenceman Alex-Olivier Voyer have agreed to play for the Bleu et Or team next season. The three players are leaders of their present team.

“I am extremely happy they have accepted to play for the Aigles Bleus,” Judes Vallée said. “This trio may have an immediate impact on the ice in their first AUS season. Félix Robert is presently 13^th in the race for top scorers in the league. The two forwards will help in our offensive push, while the defenceman will be a bonus to our team. Their individual statistics have marked an interesting progression over the years.”
