Océanic : préparer la dernière étape avant la saison

L’Océanic entame la fin de son calendrier présaison en s’amenant à Matane pour un avant-dernier match préparatoire, ce vendredi 5 septembre, contre le Drakkar de Baie-Comeau.
Joël Perrault confirme que l’alignement complet sera présent sur la glace, si aucun ennui ne survient d’ici là, à l’exception de Zack Arsenault qui demeure un cas incertain.
Le premier choix de l’Océanic au dernier repêchage soigne une blessure au haut du corps subie au début du camp d’entraînement, mais on confirme qu’il est sur la bonne voie pour faire un retour au jeu incessamment.
Perrault entend profiter du match préparatoire prévu au Colisée Béton Provincial pour consolider l’identité de sa formation sur laquelle son jeune groupe travaille depuis le début du camp.
« Le message a été très clair. Je veux qu’on soit une équipe intense et hargneuse et que ce soit difficile de jouer contre nous. On travaille sur l’éthique de travail et tous les petits détails qui s’acquièrent avec l’expérience », indique l’entraîneur-chef de l’Océanic.
L’affrontement contre le Drakkar permettra à l’état-major de confirmer ou de modifier certaines combinaisons. « On a beaucoup de talent dans notre alignement. Ce qu’il reste à faire maintenant est de trouver les bons jumelages, autant sur nos lignes d’attaque qu’à la défense. Je m’attends à voir certains jeunes s’imposer davantage comme des joueurs dominants alors qu’ils avaient un rôle plus secondaire l’an dernier ».
Bâtir sur la résilience
Perrault sait fort bien que ses joueurs qu’il dirigera cette année sont très différents de ceux de l’an dernier.
« On aspirait à remporter le championnat avec une équipe très mature. Des joueurs comme Maël St-Denis, Jacob Mathieu et Luke Coughlin ont laissé un bel héritage à nos jeunes. On va continuer de bâtir sur cette résilience. Je suis toutefois conscient qu’il faut faire preuve de patience avec nos jeunes joueurs« , estime le pilote rimouskois.

D’ailleurs, de nouvelles acquisitions comme Luke Patterson, Evan Dépatie et Émile Duquet devraient très bien se mêler aux jeunes qui étaient présents l’an dernier et qui ont vécu le parcours éliminatoire.
Équipe offensive
Le match contre Baie-Comeau sera intéressant à suivre, puisque la rivalité entre les deux équipes est toujours bien présente, même durant une rencontre préparatoire. Joël Perrault peut en témoigner à titre d’ancien du Drakkar.
« On les rencontre huit fois par année et ils sont bien dirigés. Les gens de Matane vont avoir droit à un beau match. C’est très important pour nous de jouer ailleurs au Bas-Saint-Laurent et en Gaspésie. On a été à Chandler, Paspébiac et Matane. Nous avons beaucoup de partisans partout dans la région et ils sont nombreux à venir nous encourager à Rimouski. C’est important pour nous de redonner à tous nos partisans. »

Lithuanian forces install anti-tank “dragon teeth” barriers at Russian and Belarusian border crossings amid invasion threats
Lithuanian military forces have positioned concrete anti-tank obstacles known as “dragon’s teeth” at several border control points with Russia and Belarus as part of planned defensive measures. Lithuania views Russia as a significant security threat, particularly given its geographic proximity and history as a former Soviet republic. Lithuanian officials have substantially increased defense spending, reinstated military conscription, and are actively preparing for pot
Lithuanian forces install anti-tank “dragon teeth” barriers at Russian and Belarusian border crossings amid invasion threats
Lithuanian military forces have positioned concrete anti-tank obstacles known as “dragon’s teeth” at several border control points with Russia and Belarus as part of planned defensive measures.
The barriers were installed on roads at unused border crossing points, while at operational checkpoints the obstacles were placed in accessible locations nearby for rapid deployment when needed, according to Lithuanian news agency LRT, citing an announcement from the Lithuanian army.
The military stated that no modifications were made to existing road infrastructure, ensuring that current traffic conditions remain unaffected for residents.
“The installed barriers are only part of a large integrated picture,” said Lithuanian Armed Forces Commander General Raimundas Vaikšnoras. “We start from the tactical level — specific obstacles at the border — and then we will combine the entire engineering scenario into one conceptual system.”


Lithuanian military officials characterized the work as part of a scheduled implementation of counter-mobility measures designed for the planned Baltic Defense Line. This initiative represents a coordinated long-term strategy involving all Baltic states [Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia] and Poland aimed at reducing land invasion threats and limiting potential hostile actions on territory.
Lithuania’s relations with Russia in decline
Lithuania’s relations with Russia deteriorated sharply following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The country condemned the invasion, expelled Russian diplomats, closed the Russian consulate in Klaipėda, and imposed sanctions on Russia. Lithuania also temporarily blocked Russian cargo transit to an exclave of Kaliningrad and ceased purchasing Russian gas entirely.
Recently, Lithuania has also withdrawn from the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel landmines and plans to begin domestic production next year. Deputy Defense Minister Karolis Aleksa indicated the country will spend hundreds of millions of euros to produce tens of thousands of mines for defensive purposes, with plans to supply both Lithuania and Ukraine.
The country joins Finland and other Eastern European NATO members in exiting the treaty due to security concerns about Russia, which never signed the agreement. Officials stated the mines will be stored for rapid deployment if threatened rather than creating peacetime minefields.
