Quebec summer baseball celebrated its top performers on November 7 at an annual gala in Lévis, where league officials handed out end-of-season awards and mapped out a restructured 2027 calendar.
St-Eustache Bisons captured organization of the year honors during the gathering of the Ligue de baseball junior élite du Québec (LBJÉQ).
Individual Awards Highlight Provincial Talent
Repentigny Royals outfielder Jayden Duchaine picked up rookie offensive player honors following a standout campaign. Charlesbourg Alouettes infielder Anthony Clavet secured the professional prospect award for the second time.
At the plate, Granby’s Wyliam Coulombe claimed the batting champion title after leading multiple offensive statistical categories. Laval Pirates veteran Éliot Marin received the Denis-Baillairgé Trophy as the league’s most valuable player, concluding his career with the club.
League officials also recognized Malik Lafrance for earning multiple player-of-the-week nods throughout the summer. On the mound, Québec pitcher Félix Morin took home top pitcher honors for the 2026 season.
Leagues Form Two Divisions for 2027
Following the awards presentation, league leadership announced a sweeping structural change for the 13-team circuit starting in 2027. The LBJÉQ will eliminate the Central Division to form just two conferences: the West Division and the East Division.
The West Division features St-Eustache, the Montreal Orioles, Gatineau Tyrans, Repentigny Royals, Lasalle Cardinals, Laval Pirates, and Longueuil Ducs. The East Division includes Granby Guerriers, Jonquière Voyageurs, Trois-Rivières Aigles Jr, Charlesbourg Alouettes, Coaticook Rocket, and Québec Diamants.
Teams will play a 45-game regular season under the new two-division alignment. Pierre-Alexandre Tremblay takes over as general manager of the Jonquière Voyageurs ahead of the new campaign.
