Youngsters wearing the team’s retro powder-blue vest on the ice were able to give a hand to the Tricolore’s two forwards. And after practice, I’m sure they asked for autographs and took photos with them.
Suzuki and Anderson continue to prove that they are leaders in Montreal. Especially since he was named captain, 14 doesn’t take the role lightly. And even though he’s on vacation during the summer, he’s available for everyone and his presence in the community is felt.
In Anderson’s case, even if he doesn’t have a letter on his vest, he’s one of the team’s undisputed leaders. He’s signed a huge contract, and if he’s going to be in Montreal for a long time, he might as well get involved with the youngsters, right?
Speaking of 17, will he become an assistant to Nick Suzuki next season? With Joel Edmundson’s departure, an “A” remains vacant, and in my eyes, he’s still a good candidate.
In Guhle’s case, he’s been asked by Nick Suzuki to be the team’s “DJ” → https://t.co/5YjZ4o8KaL

As for the CH’s development camp, it ends tomorrow.
I can’t wait to see if any more players will go and delight the young skaters on this final day of a very popular camp.
