The Canadiens’ rookie camp got underway yesterday with the famous physical tests.

In the eyes of The Gazette’s reporter, Hutson and Mailloux are likely to earn a spot with the Habs because they look NHL-ready.
Hutson stood out today with his speed, vision and ability to find his teammates on the ice… While Mailloux looks like a guy who can succeed in the best hockey league in the world even if he’s only played one season in the pros.
That’s encouraging, at least.
Speaking of Mailloux, some training videos were posted on X today and there’s one thing that catches my eye.
He was flying around the rink today at a height of six feet three inches… And he completed the various exercises with exemplary intensity.
It’s hard to ask for more when you see the pictures:

He’ll definitely be one to watch at the Habs’ official camp starting next Tuesday @TVASports pic.twitter.com/Z50DO2vsxq– Mathieu Bédard (@MatBedardTva) September 12, 2024
He’s obviously worked hard this summer to improve certain aspects of his game, and in that respect, I get the impression he understood a lot from the game he played with the Habs at the end of last campaign.
Now, let’s wait and see if he can stand out at the Habs’ real camp next week. Same goes for Lane Hutson!
