For the second time this weekend, Merrimack in the Qmjhl pipeline has fallen to secure a highly regarded.
On the heels of Alex MercierThe announcement of the Warriors landed on Saturday an obligation from 4.0 stars ahead Mavrick LachanceOne of the best young scorers in the competition.
A winger born in 2006, Lachance, spent the last two seasons with the Sherbrooke Phoenix, where his attacking production of the page jumped. Last year he placed 69 points (39 goals, 30 assists) in 61 games, including the play -offs. He is also ready to attend Boston Bruins Rookie Camp in the coming weeks – an opportunity that underlines his rising shares.
In 2023-24, Lachance placed 49 points (27 goals, 22 assists) in 67 games, which all the Qmjhl-smokies led in goals that scored that season.
Scouting report (via Neutral zone):
“Mavrick is a very competent attacker with a strong attacking presence and the possibility of playing at high speed. His hands are a striking feature, allowing him to perform fast, misleading movements in tight spaces. His finish is clear and he thrives when he gives time and space to work.
“In general, Mavrick is a dynamic attacker with great hands, strong skating and a clutch core power. Although his defensive play and discipline need some refinement, his attacking skills make him a dangerous player, especially in high -pressure situations.
Like most young scorers, his defensive game must refine some, but the benefit is considerable. With constant development, Lachance projects as a player who can tilt games themselves.
Lachance projects as part of the recruitment class of Merrimack 2026. TMR will release full projections on the 2026 group later this season. For the time being, recruits will be mentioned by the year of birth in our tracker, which can be viewed on the link below.
