Noah Laberge, the Buffalo Sabres' fifth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, is drawing rave reviews as he puts together a breakout season for the QMJHL's Newfoundland Regiment.
Laberge, a puck-moving defenseman with impressive offensive potential, has recorded 21 points (five goals and 16 assists) in 26 games for the Regiment this season. It puts him on pace for 50 points, well above the 35 he posted in 2024-25 for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan before the junior club's relocation.
Joey Fortin Boulay, the Quebec regional scout for McKeen's Hockey, selected the 6'1'' blueliner as a prospect who's made "rapid progress" early in the current campaign.
