Trevor Zegras and Jack Hughes admit they are jealous of their friend Cole Caufield and the Montreal Canadiens
It didn't take long after his arrival with the Habs for Cole Caufield to become a crowd favorite. His natural scoring talent, coupled with his enthusiasm and cheerful demeanor, have now made him a staple with the team.
However, this sudden popularity comes with some minor drawbacks, especially in Montreal. He can no longer wander incognito in the city, as he is constantly recognized and stopped. Yet, this hardly bothers him, especially since he knowingly signed an 8-season pact with the team that drafted him 15th overall in the 2019 draft.
"The fans are amazing with us, so it allows us to give back a bit." - Cole Caufield
While some players might want to immediately leave the city and team due to this inconvenience, it seems that for others, some big names at that, it's the ultimate dream. In fact, the young Habs forward mentioned that his friends Trevor Zegras and Jack Hughes are quite envious of the city's passion for its hockey team.
"I told them they wouldn't believe it. We're really lucky to experience this every night. Whether we're first or last, people come out and support us." - Cole Caufield
It seems the new generation of players thrives on this pressure and enthusiasm. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising, after difficult years trying to convince players to play in the city, that things might change soon. Especially if Caufield continues his ambassadorial role throughout the league!
