What other changes are about to happen?

Five past newsletter articles offer some possibilities.


Player Development

“Simply put, very few Canadiens draftees seem to get any…better.”

The Unicorn - Max Domi is far from the perfect player, but how did the former Hab score 72 points for a team long-starved for offense down the middle?


Coaching & Tactics

2020-21 MTL System Sheets - The team’s tactics are standard, if quite effective with a strong talent base. Playing a more passive 1-1-3 NZ forecheck helped the team make the Cup finals last year, but it might need other tweaks to progress.


Community Outreach

A New Hockey City, pt. 2 - Why making the Jr. Canadiens a local institution will revitalize the parent club.


Long-Term Strategy
