As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to burden daily life, the QMJHL is hoping to resume play on Jan. 22 after having to pause the season for Quebec-based teams like Islanders prospect William Dufour and the Drummondville Voltigeurs, who have not played in a game since Nov. 27.
Dufour, who the Islanders selected in the fifth round (152nd overall) at the 2020 NHL Draft, was on a tear leading up to the pause. Dufour was riding a five-game goal streak, where the 18-year-old winger had scored six goals and seven points in that span.
Through eight games this season, Dufour has totaled 10 points (6G, 4A) and 18 PIMs.
While the Quebec province introduced an evening curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Jan. 9 that is expected to enforced for the next four weeks, the QMJHL still hopes to get back in action on Jan. 22.
