The Baie-Comeau Drakkar ice hockey team experienced a losing streak during the early 2026-2027 season. On September 26, the Drakkar suffered their third consecutive defeat, losing 5-3 to the Chicoutimi Saguenéens. The match was characterized by defensive zone struggles and a rapid loss of momentum after the Drakkar had briefly tied the ~~game.~~ game through a veteran line of Robin Benoit, Brayden Besner, and Dominic Pilote. The Saguenéens extended their lead to 4-1 late in the second period, aided by a shorthanded breakaway goal from Christophe Berthelot. By October 3, the team’s losing streak extended to five games following a 6-3 loss to the Charlottetown Islanders. This defeat was attributed to team indiscipline and poor penalty killing, with the Islanders scoring four power-play goals on six attempts. Coach Patrice Bosch noted that while the team performs well at five-on-five, player confidence has become fragile due to difficulties playing shorthanded. On October 18, the Drakkar secured their first victory of the season in their 11th game, defeating the Sherbrooke Phoenix 4-3 in overtime. After Johannes Drobovolny opened the scoring on a power play, Sherbrooke took control during the second period. Drakkar goaltender Mathias Hernandez, named the first star of the match, kept the team in contention. Zachary Hachey scored twice to help regain the lead, and although Sherbrooke tied the game with 68 seconds remaining in regulation, Tate Collins scored the decisive goal two minutes into overtime. Following this win, the Drakkar faced the Saguenéens in a weekend series. After a 4-2 loss on Friday night where the Saguenéens capitalized on power plays, the Drakkar rebounded on Sunday with a 5-3 victory.
