She also spoke at length about the Logan Mailloux file.
In short, Chantal really got to know the youngster better and he seems to have a future with the Montreal organization.
According to her, Mailloux does not hide from it, he assumes and he becomes a better person. Chantal also confirmed that Mailloux will unfortunately have to miss the 2022 training camp, due to injury, but it seems to be understood that without that, he would have been invited.
A SURPRISING REVELATION ABOUT MAILLOUX
Another very interesting element that Chantal mentioned: the vast majority of fans and experts were unaware that Logan Mailloux speaks French, surprisingly enough.
He impressed the CH's VP of Communications with the quality of his French.
Machabée explained that he gave his recent press conferences in English, because she was convinced they knew it and would ask questions about it, but clearly, that wasn't the case.
In fact, Mailloux understands our language and is able to respond in French (with short answers), but ideally he couldn't do a full interview.
His maternal grandfather is French-speaking. Clearly, now that it's more widely known, we can expect to see him speak in French at his next press briefing.
