Analysis:
I have no idea where L’Islet in Quebec is (Future Sky: It’s a town outside of Quebec City), but they should be proud to call a player like Bourgault one of their own, because Xavier Bourgault seems to have been born in a lab to get your attention; coming out of nowhere in his sophomore season with the Cataractes to be a major contributor for Shawinigan.
Bourgault got to that point through his furious work-ethic; dude’s not afraid whatsoever to get into the corners and muck around for pucks and fight to get into the middle of the ice with impressive regularity, and is generally always seen trying to do something when he’s on the ice; using a strong, accurate shot in tight to beat defenders and goaltenders alike, and he will move hell and earth to get in tight first before he ever takes that shot, and it’s paid dividends.
