Former Maple Leafs prospect accused of hiring hitman to kill his ex
Former Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Gabriel Gagne is currently on trial in Quebec for accusations of assault, sexual assault, uttering threats and assault with a deadly weapon.
These allegations all come from his ex-girlfriend, and they are extremely serious. In fact, it is being alleged that the AHL journeyman hired a hitman to kill his ex. New court documents from LaPresse detail some very disturbing allegations against Gagne. Essentially, his ex claims he was very controlling and that he was allegedly frequently under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
A first episode was the «trigger point». During a party , Daphné saw him writing to another girl. She wanted to leave. «He followed me, calling me names. He threw a trash can at me. But his friend put his foot down so I wouldn't get it. I was stunned. His friend said: �He's stressed, he's had his season, he's unwinding,'» says Daphné.
After the party , Gabriel Gagné takes the wheel. He insists that she get in the car with him. On the way, she demands to get out of the vehicle. "I was scared. He was super aggressive," she testifies. That's when he accelerates to 240 km/h and threatens to kill them.
"I was terrified," she sighs.
Another time, Gabriel Gagné grabbed her by the throat and showed her his fist. The accused shouted at her: "At some point, you're going to get a big kick out of it!" For her safety, she lets him attack her, she says.
During yet another crisis, Gabriel Gagné grabs a 40-pound dumbbell and brandishes it over Daphné. At the last second, someone close to Daphné intervenes and orders him to leave. It's the beginning of the end. But a few days later, their relationship ends with a particularly trying sexual assault.
"At that moment, I was crying, crying, crying. Big tears. He just penetrated me. My tears were flowing. In my head, it was empty," she told the court.
But Gabriel Gagné doesn't let go of Daphné. He calls her constantly. He creates fake accounts on social networks to contact her. For months, the woman is terrified. He even writes to her: "I'm going to burn your house down. You'll see the consequences. I paid someone to kill you. I'm not afraid of the police."
It was too much. Daphne filed a complaint with the police. "I was at the end of my rope," she sighs.

Gagne has been convicted of crimes in the past. For instance, he spent six months in jail back in 2023 for harassing another ex-girlfriend. Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to luring a girl under the age of 16 and spent another three months in prison. Now, he faces a much stiffer sentence thanks to these charges.
