EDMUNDSTON, New Brunswick –Edmundston Blizzard general manager Steve MacPherson has made another big trade less than 48 hours after getting Dominic LeBlanc. This time, he has just acquired 19-year-old forward Carl-Anthony Massé, who was playing with the QMJHL Quebec Remparts this season.
To acquire Massé, the Blizzard had to trade to the Valley Wildcats the rights to Dylan Andrews (Acadie-Bathurst Titan), a 4th-round pick in the 2024 draft, a conditional 4th-round pick in the 2025 draft and future considerations.
Born in Rivière-du-Loup, Carl-Anthony Massé was released from the Remparts a few days ago. In 28 games with Québec, he collected four goals and three assists. A fine scorer, he was mainly used on defensive duties, as reported by journalist Kevin Beaulé, of CIEF-FM. He played his last game with the Remparts on December 16.
In 2022-2023, Massé was the Quebec Collegiate Hockey League’s scoring champion, with 26 goals and 36 assists for 62 points in 36 games. He played for the Saint-Laurent Patriotes.
Dylan Andrews was a 9th-round pick (103rd overall) by the Blizzard in the 2021 midget draft. With 5 goals and 11 assists in 38 games this season, he is part of the Titan’s regular line-up.
The Blizzard play their next game on Friday (7:30 p.m.) at the Jean-Daigle Centre, when they host the Miramichi Timberwolves.
