He was originally slated to join the Eagles program in 2025-26, however moved up a year and will now come to Chestnut Hill in the fall.a scouting report on Letourneau prior to the draft in its 2024 NHL Draft guide.
“Letourneau is gigantic, but contrary to other players his size, it doesn’t feel like he’s trapped in his own body,” said EliteProspects. “He moves quite freely, especially because he uses crossover techniques to avoid the long, slower strides, and there’s a good upper-body/lower-body separation and some agility. A lot of his offence consists of downhill attacks where he surveys pressure, drives the net with his range and size, or leverages the attention he receives to find open teammate.
Other teams Letourneau has played on include the Ottawa Valley Titans U14 AAA and U15 AAA Teams , Renfrew Wolves U18 AAA , and has had a brief stint with the USHL’s Sioux Falls Stampede where he’s appeared in two games.
