Car Accident Leads to a Tragic Passing in The Hockey Community

The QJHL and CHL communities are united in mourning the loss of a player who left a positive impact on those around him. The sudden passing of Emile Gagne has sent shockwaves through everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

During the 2016-2017 season, Gagne showcased his skills with teams like Mauricie Estacades Bantam AAA R, Collège Laflèche Dragons, Princeville Titans, and Joliette Prédateurs in the QJHL.
