Draft Lottery Results


The Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League draft lottery was held on April 23 and our Halifax Mooseheads had a chance to win it after finishing 16th overall at the end of the regular season. 

Since 2017, the Q has been doing the lottery with 5 teams after years of just the bottom two non-playoff teams. For this season, Halifax had a 14% chance of winning the lottery. Check out the full odds below;

18th: Victoriaville - 9 balls (43%)
17th: Saint John - 6 balls (28%)
16th: Halifax - 3 balls (14%)
15th: Newfoundland - 2 balls (10%)*
14th: Quebec - 1 ball (5%)

In the end, the Saint John Sea Dogs won the lottery meaning they will make the first overall draft selection during the entry draft. This was the 7th time the Sea Dogs have been the lucky team to get their ball drawn. 


Our Halifax Mooseheads position in the draft did not change with the results and will pick 3rd overall. Assuming they do not trade it, this is the highest the Herd have picked in the draft since 2016. 

The 2025 QMJHL Draft will take place on June 6-7 at Videotron Centre in Quebec City.
