Who is Alex The Lucky? Real name Alexis Lachance, self-taught editor who worked on MrBeast projects, Shahin's best friend and on Lewis's third line Nov. 21.
You have probably watched his work without knowing his name. When a Quebec YouTube video hits hard, with the perfect cut, the punchline timed to the frame and the music dropping at the right second, there is a decent chance Alex The Lucky was behind the timeline. The kid who used to cold-message American YouTubers on Twitter ended up on a MrBeast project, and on November 21 he will be on the ice at the Centre Vidéotron with Lewis le Fou. Here is who he really is.
- Real name Alexis Lachance, Quebec video editor, director and creator

- Shahin Ouest's best friend since the age of 7 and a regular on his channel

Who is Alex The Lucky, really?
Behind the handle @alexthelucky is Alexis Lachance. Like a lot of creators his age, he started young with gaming videos, pack openings and vlogs inspired by Casey Neistat. Very quickly, though, one part of the process took over everything else: editing.
He never took a formal course. He learned alone, video after video. As a teenager, he started messaging American creators on Twitter to offer his editing services. Most never answered. One message finally got through.
From Montreal to the MrBeast universe
The turning point came through Matthew Beem, an American YouTuber with millions of subscribers who was looking for an editor through Instagram messages. Alex answered. According to Le Regard, he went in a few months from self-taught creator to collaborator on large-scale projects, including work in North Carolina around the Squid Game doll shoot for MrBeast, the biggest channel on YouTube.
The pace matches the ambition: up to 60 hours a week of editing between client projects and YouTube videos. Today he is known as the editor behind many of your favourite Quebec YouTubers.

Alex The Lucky and Shahin: friends since the age of 7
Before the edits and the hockey, there is a friendship. Alex and Shahin Ouest have been best friends since they were 7. He is a regular on Shahin's channel, where he shows up without ever trying to steal the spotlight. One of the most watched examples: Shahin's Valentine's Day 2024 video, in which Lewis le Fou, Alex The Lucky, Aly Brassard and Cocotte try to identify everyday objects that belong to women. It passed 2.2 million views.
In creator content, the edit is the voice. A creator like Alex understands retention, rhythm and storytelling from the inside, which makes him a rare profile for brands: someone who can appear on screen and also knows exactly how a branded segment should land.
His spot on Team Lewislefou for November 21
On April 4, 2026, at the Colisée de Laval, Lewis, Shahin and Alex The Lucky formed a single line, and Team Lewislefou beat Olivier Primeau's team 4 to 3 in overtime on a goal by Max Lavoie. For the rematch on November 21 in Quebec City, Lewis spread his firepower over three lines. Alex now anchors the third line, alongside Simpota.
