| Personal: |

| Plus: Positional Calmness & Technique: Scouts highlight his solid positional baseline. He relies on tight positional angled mechanics and post-to-post butterfly slide techniques rather than wild, dynamic hyper-scrambling... Pedigree in High-Stakes Situations: He features a history of elevating his game when needed most, notably being named a QMJHL Second All-Star Team selection in 2021 after leading the Val-d'Or Foreurs to the league finals with a stellar 1.95 GAA and .910 save percentage in the playoffs... Proven Durability: Lemieux is a proven workhorse at the minor-league level, logging 105 career ECHL appearances over three professional seasons...
| | Minus: Average Modern Netminder Size: At 6-foot-1, Lemieux does not possess the towering size coveted by modern NHL front offices. He can occasionally leave upper portions of the net exposed when trapped deep in his crease... |
| Organizational Comments: |
What GRC says: Fall 2026 A proven top-flight ECHL net minder, Lemieux provides stability in Toledo and a safety net for the Griffins if needed. It remains to be seen the eventual disposition of Carter Gylander and Trey Augustine which will determine how many starts Lemieux will see.
