Earlier this week the Telegraph-Journal of Saint John, New Brunswick, chronicled the completed Q-League playoff series between the Sea Dogs and the Acadie Bathurst Titan, which eliminted the Titan and sent Mathieu Perreault packing for Hershey. Take a look at Marty Klinkenberg’s description of Perreault:
“The Titan’s Mathieu Perreault, meanwhile, was fantastic, just as he has been throughout the series and the entire season. Looking as if he is ready to skate beside Alex Ovechkin in Washington, Perrault flew up and down the ice as quickly as the cartoon Road Runner, dodging and weaving and pirouetting through and around defenders. The leading scorer in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and a Capitals draft choice, Perreault had three assists on Sunday to go with the four points he scored in the Titan’s victory at Harbour Station on Saturday night.”
Tim Leone of the Patriot News profiled the American League newcomer on Friday. “Perreault, who joined the Hershey Bears after completing his junior season with Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL), made a solid pro debut Wednesday night in the high-pressure playoff situation of Game 1 against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton,” Leone wrote.
Bears’ head coach Bob Woods said of his new center, “He’s a kid that’s got a lot of speed and grit to him for a smaller guy,” adding, “I thought he did well . . . He hustles and he competes and wins battles and he’s got some pretty good offensive touch.”

He will be an NHLer eventually. He needs to get bigger. he is listed at 5′8″ and 151 lbs. I read somewhere that he is actually up to 166 lbs but that still isn’t very big. He will be good though! Looking forward to seeing him play up here in Hershey next season. But who knows, maybe I will have to watch him on tv!
BRING HIM UP !!!
