The Canadiens' development camp will take place this week in Brossard.

Tomorrow, the players will head to the CN Complex for physical testing, while Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to on-ice practices.

There will be an intra-squad game on Thursday, as is the case every year.

For the 2026 camp, it's worth noting that five of the organization's top prospects will be in attendance. Who are they?

I'm talking about Alexander Zharovsky, Michael Hage, Bryce Pickford, LJ Mooney… and Gleb Pugachyov, who was selected by the Habs in the first round of the most recent draft. These five guys will definitely be ones to watch this week.

It's worth noting that players like Owen Protz, Logan Sawyer, Rasmus Bergqvist, and Hayden Paupanekis—who attended the Canadiens' development camp last year—will also be there.

Prospects Cooper Cleaves, Timofei Runtso, Parker Trottier, Wesley Royston, Tyler Deokos, and Brayden Klimpke—who were drafted last weekend—will also be attending this year's event. 

So it's going to be interesting.

There will be a great group of young players taking to the ice, and they'll have the chance to get familiar with the Canadiens' facilities—it's going to be a great experience for these kids.

But for the Habs, it will allow the organization to assess the young players' progress… and that's why the next few days will be important for the prospects participating in the development camp.

Stay tuned!
