There's a lot of hope in Jacob Fowler, and rightly so. Montreal Canadiens fans see him as a future National Hockey League goaltender of the first rank, as well as the next #1 goaltender for the Habs. Montreal has loved Fowler ever since he was selected in the 2023 draft, but what we didn't know is that the 20-year-old has loved Montreal for much longer.

Indeed, we recently learned from Jacob Fowler's aunt, Maggie Fowler, that since he was a little boy, the CH goaltender has been linked to the Habs. How so? Well, from a very early age, Fowler had a mini Montreal Canadiens hockey stick in his possession. This mini stick was like the CH goaltender's teddy bear, as he carried it everywhere with him, from the car to his bed

As you can see from the photos, Fowler was very fond of that little Habs stick, always carrying it with him. It's crazy to think of it now that the 20-year-old is a member of the Canadiens organization, and more importantly, a cornerstone of the team's future.

As his aunt herself explains, Fowler has always had a connection with Montreal, whether it's with that mini stick, or the Habs jersey Jacob used to own.

In short, it's a very cute anecdote, and it just goes to show that sometimes, certain things are made to happen, and are clearly predestined. Let's now hope that all this beautiful story will translate into a superb career with the Canadiens for Jacob Fowler. spacer title='Overtime'] – A very good contract from the Wild.

– Great!

– To listen.
