The lineup for the Dauphin Kings next season shaped a little more today, with the commitments of two players based out of Quebec.
The first player is 18-year-old forward Antoine Gauthier who's from Carleton, Quebec.
Gauthier:
He spent last season with the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs of the United States Premier Hockey League.
In 32 games he had 18 points (5 G) for the Monarchs, and he had four goals and nine helpers in five games earlier in the season with the USPHL Elite League club.
"He's a kid that's going to bring a good compete level to our team," said Doug Hedley, HC/GM for the Kings. "He works hard off the ice, and he's a good citizen. Speed is a big strength in his game. He's definitely going to give us that added depth."
The second player is 18-year-old defencemen Marc-Antoine Couture who comes from East Angus, Quebec.
Couture:
Playing in both the USPHL Elite and Premier Leagues last season, Couture had 11 points total in 39 games.
10 of the points came in the Premier League.
"From what I've heard, his strongest asset is he's a good puck mover and makes a great first pass," he added. "There are some parts of his games he has to get better at, but he's only 18-years-old. He's a Division One prospect, and we're looking forward to having him in the program for sure."
