Saints Assistant Coach Brennan Menard knew the Saints had to have Gamache after spending last season as his head coach in Midget.
“G (Gamache) is big time player with the drive and skillset to become a highly effective AJHL player. When I joined the Saints last summer, Graham was tops on my list of players to recruit after witnessing first hand the type of player and person he is.” Menard continued.
“I am a huge supporter of Graham and have no doubt he will do whatever is necessary to continue his growth and achieves his goals as a student athlete.”
Gamache’s play in training camp pushed him to the forefront of the Saints prospect conversation after being a late cut from the Saints last fall.

He is relentless in his puck pursuit, has great finish around the net and brings a level of compete that fits perfectly with our style of play.” Sklaruk finished.
The Saints would like to welcome Graham and his family to the team.
