As part of their 50th anniversary, the Chicoutimi Saguenéens hosted an alumni weekend to bring the club’s great history to life. After Steve Gosselin’s number 23 was eliminated on Friday, around forty former “Sags” players met for an entertaining duel on Saturday. Rookie Maxim Massé also took the opportunity to score his first-ever career hat-trick in the QMJHL. However, Sunday’s loss to Baie-Comeau Drakkar left a stain on the Blues’ fine weekend. The five goals of the representatives of the Côte-Nord sawed off the legs of the “Sags”.
