Steve Bernier is playing in his fourth season with the Moncton Wildcats and once again is among the leading point scorers of the QMJHL. The hulking power forward was selected 16th overall in the 2003 Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks. He has continued to develop his game since then, particularly working on the often unrecognized defensive aspect of his game, something which has steadily improved since entering major junior hockey.
Bernier’s overall skill level has increased dramatically as well. Although his point totals look to be in decline after his amazing 101-point sophomore season, it is evident from watching his play every night that Bernier is evolving into a more complete player. Some reports have indicated that had there been no NHL lockout Bernier would not have been playing with Moncton this season, but may instead have made a run to make the Sharks. Regardless of where he could have been playing, Bernier is with the Wildcats and is another key cog in the team’s currently successful season, including serving as team captain for the months of September and November.
