The Blainville-Boisbriand (5) vs. Gatineau (8) series will be held at Centre Gervais Auto in Shawinigan, while the first round matchup between the Remparts (6) and the Voltigeurs (7) will take place in Drummondville.
However, these two series’ schedules will only be unveiled in the upcoming days as the league is still monitoring the COVID-19 situation with Gatineau and Quebec City. The safety of players and staff remains the top priority and the QMJHL wants to ensure that they are all back to full health before returning to play.
