Joe Veleno caught the attention of the hockey world by becoming the fifth player ever granted exceptional status to play in the CHL as a 15-year-old, and the first from Quebec. Veleno starred for the Saint John Sea Dogs before a December 2017 trade sent him to Drummondville, where he scored 48 points in 33 games as a Voltigeur.
