A forward has recently officially left the Montreal Canadiens organization to join another well-known team in Quebec.

At 21 years old, Filion is 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 173 pounds.
He notably accumulated 41 points in 48 games with the Rimouski Océanic in 2023 in the QMJHL, as well as 33 points in 66 games with the Quebec Remparts in 2022 (13 points in 21 playoff games).
We wish him great success in Jonquière, even though we would have liked to see him develop within the Montreal Canadiens' structure in the coming years.
He is clearly highly anticipated in Jonquière.
