Alexis Bernier

June 2025- Bernier turned in a solid season in the QMJHL. His third season saw him provide 14 goals, 32 assists and 59 PIMs in 59 games played.

He was the leading scorer from the blueline of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, and was a top five defenseman in the entire QMJHL in scoring, and tied for third for goals. Not bad for a player more well known for his defensive billing. Bernier will turn 19 this summer, and will not be far out from competing for a job with Coachella Valley. He might not be worth an investment now in shallower leagues, but he’s certainly a player worth watchlisting as he grows. Alex Wyatt

June 2024 — I’m not sure Bernier becomes anything special at the NHL level, but there is a lot to work with in his game. He’s smart and proactive on the puck, finding different ways to play it to open teammates without necessarily forcing anything. He’s powerful and fluid, making him quite a useful rush defender — again, without forcing anything. He’s relatively simplistic and risk-averse, but there’s value as a bottom-pair facilitator who can keep the puck out of his zone. Very Alexandre Carrier-esque in his safe, secure approach to the game from the back-end. Hadi Kalakeche
