“It’s obviously a great moment for me and my family,” the 17-year-old said in a press release. “I’m very happy to be joining such a great organization.”

Before playing for Rimouski, Gill played with the MonctonFlyers in the NB/PEI Major U18 Hockey League for the 2021-2022 season, taking home the TELUS Cup.

“He played a huge role on that team,” head coach John DeCourcey said. “He's focused, he's a really good teammate. You knew he had a lot of potential.”

DeCourcey described Gill as a great person, but also a great player. News of his NHL draft was “certainly expected,” he said, adding that it also motivates players in the Flyers program.

“We're very happy for him and very proud of him,” DeCourcey said.

Gabe Smith of St. Andrews, a forward for the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL, was selected 103rd overall by the Utah Hockey Club.

Jeff Lewis coached Smith during his Grade 10 season with the Rothesay Netherwood School U18 team.

“Gabe was a super passionate kid. He always wanted to be at the rink, always wanted to be in the gym and shoot pucks, get on the ice and work on his skills. I really, really loved the game,” Lewis said.

“I'm super happy for him as a person. I know how hard he's worked to get that opportunity. It gives him a foot in the door to continue with his dream.”

Lewis said Smith is also a talented football player and a great brother.
