Desroches lead the L’Intrépide in scoring despite being a new addition to team from the M17 level and also one of their youngest players; finishing with 3 points in 3 games. The first thing I noticed about Desroches is that he’s a very intelligent off-puck player, capable of reading and reacting to the play as the F2 and cutting off outlet passes along the boards before making quick passes to the middle of the ice. On-puck I thought he wasn’t necessarily overly dynamic over creative, but he did do a good job of taking the proper routes to enter the offensive zone with control, making a dish to the outside then driving the net with speed looking to push back defenders and create space up high for puck-carriers. It’ll be interesting to see what Desroches can do as he continues to be leaned on heavily by Gatineau throughout the year.
