History

2007-08: It took Lagacé a little while to get going with Chicoutimi, as he was largely limited to fourth-line duty for the first month of the season. As he improved his decision-making, and began to utilize more of a physical game, Lagacé’s ice-time increased. And as his ice-time increased, so, too, did his production. The hard-nosed, strong-skating winger ended up posting 62 points in his rookie campaign, good enough to place him fourth among rookie scorers, seeing the bulk of his time on the top two scoring lines, and playing in all special teams situations (particularly in the second half of the season). His strong play and hard work was rewarded at season’s end when Lagacé was invited to play for Canada’s under-18 squad that ended up winning the gold medal. Lagacé notched three points and a plus-4 rating in seven tournament games. He also joined his teammate Deschamps on the league’s All-Rookie Team.

Talent Analysis

Lagacé displays a great work ethic, maturity, and good decision making ability on the ice.  He is an offensive forward who drives to the net and makes things happen with his rough-and-tumble style. Lagace’s in-your-face style dovetails nicely with his puck control abilities.  It remains to be seen whether his physical style will translate to the next level, given his relative lack of size.

Future

Continues in the QMJHL.
