Brouillard makes Canada-Russia squad!

The Q announced its roster for the upcoming matchup between Team QMJHL and Team Russia in the 2012 SUBWAY® Super Series. Look carefully and you might find a familiar name (or you already know who it is, since my title spoiled you);

GOALTENDERS
Brassard, Francois (QUE)
Fucale, Zachary (HAL)
Marcoux, Étienne (BLB)

DEFENSEMEN
Murphy, Matt (VDO)
Racine, Jonathan (MON)
Fournier, Dillon (ROU)
Culkin, Ryan (QUE)
Brouillard, Nikolas (DRU)
Ouellet, Xavier (BLB)
Melindy, James (MON)
Oligny, Jimmy (PEI)

FORWARDS
Mantha, Anthony (VDO)
Dea, Jean-Sébastien (ROU)
Hudon, Charles (CHI)
Huberdeau, Jonathan (SNB)
Henley, Samuel (VDO)
Paquette, Cédric (BLB)
Tesink, Ryan (SNB)
Danault, Phillip (VIC)
MacKinnon, Nathan (HAL)
Beauvillier, Francis (RIM)
Drouin, Jonathan (HAL)
Carrier, William (CAP)
Clapperton, Christopher (BLB)
Andrews, Brent (HAL)

Yes, the younger of the two Brouillards has managed to crack the list. Note that it is significantly far from November 5th, so this has the possibility of changing a ton between now and then. If you're superstitious like me, send vibes or even a crane to lift Brouillard from place to place so that he doesn't step on any cracks in the sidewalk.

As for Drummondville: Another Abitibi weekend ahead. Rouyn is stupidly good lately, going 8-2-0-1 and even ahead of Quebec. Note how many guys they have on the roster up there. There probably should be more. Val-d'Or is slightly less well-off, 4-6-0-0, but no less dangerous. They have three guys up there and not for nothing (other than to show off their future draftees).

Shameless promotion: If you are from or are visiting the Montreal area this weekend, come watch Gabriel Dumont and Frédéric St-Denis with the rest of the Bulldogs as they take on the Marlies, this Saturday, at McLean's Pub (1210 Peel) as part of the first All Habs Hockey Party of the season. Or stay home, whatever.
