Alongside five interesting signings for the Boston Bruins’ affiliate, the Providence Bruins yesterday; signing Samuel Asselin stands alone as probably the most interesting one. Asselin is a prolific 21 year-old goalscorer. He had a very good season with the Halifax Mooseheads in the QMJHL, topping the league’s goal scoring chart. Unfortunately for him, Asselin wasn’t able to repeat the Memorial Cup from 2018.
The Quebec native started his junior career in the QMJHL in 2014 playing for the Shawinigan Cataractes. In his third season with the Cataractes, he was named as captain of that side. In January of 2018, the major change came for Samuel Asselin; he was traded to play for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, where he ended up winning the QMJHL Championship followed by the prestigious Memorial Cup.
