Meet Xavier Dumont: The Grit Behind the Slapshot

[Xavier Dumont 7]

Standing tall at 6’4” and weighing in at a solid 205 pounds, Xavier Dumont is a blue-line bruiser straight out of Quebec City. At just 21 years old, this gritty defender has already made a name for himself with bone-crunching hits, relentless hustle, and a slapshot so powerful it could shatter glass—and eardrums. - Tony Marinaro
 

Xavier’s path to the VHL wasn’t paved in gold. Growing up in a tough environment, he learned the meaning of hard work early on, picking up labor jobs through his teenage years to help make ends meet. But no matter how rough things got, his love for hockey burned brighter. When most kids were out partying, Xavier was sharpening his skills at the local rink, pouring everything he had into the game.

Now, with his sights set on the VHL, Xavier is ready to bring his brand of hockey to the big stage. His playstyle is as raw and unrelenting as his backstory: hard checks, fearless shot-blocking, and a slapshot that could wake the goalie up in cold sweats. He’s not here to make friends on the ice—he’s here to make an impact.
 

Off the ice, Xavier’s no stranger to cracking a joke or sharing a laugh. His Quebecois charm, workhorse mentality, and underdog story have already made him a fan favorite wherever he’s laced up his skates. If there’s one thing this gritty defender knows, it’s how to win people over—with a cannon from the point or a smile at the bar after the game. - Martin Lemay

The VHL better be ready. Xavier Dumont is coming in hot, and he’s not taking prisoners.
