Rouyn-Noranda, the QMJHL’s dragon of the year, can officially say they burninated the countryside, the peasants, and their thatched roof cottages. Because they ended up being the winners of the President’s Cup. And helping them on this path was Bruins 2018 3rd round pick Jakub Lauko.
Lauko played in 19 of Rouyn-Noranda’s 20 playoff games this year, finishing with a tally of 6 goals, 7 assists, and 13 points.

While everyone is caught up in the Bruins’ series, Jakub Lauko quietly leads all QMJHL rookies in playoff points with 5G-6A-11PTS in 11GP. Lauko didn’t score on this play, but it’s a good example of why he’s dangerous. Good awareness, excellent speed and soft hands. #NHLBruins pic.twitter.com/JlPdKqBh1k

Now that he’s reached the pinnacle, does that mean his season is over?
Hell no!
As QMJHL champion, he is now off to the Memorial Cup as the sole representative of the Boston Bruins! We’ll inform you onto how that works...on Thursday.
Regardless, congratulations to Jakub Lauko on his QMJHL championship!
