Let's indeed focus more specifically on Israel Mianscum and Matteo Drobac, the goaltender who was added due to the injury suffered by Quentin Miller.
As for the first, Radio-Canada Sports published a very interesting article about him (the Cree hockey player Israel Mianscum at the Canadiens development camp), and he is clearly a young player who has really sparked the curiosity of the Canadiens organization.
At 21 years old, Mianscum is a 6'2", 202-pound forward.
He collected a very solid 87 points in 61 games, including 35 goals, last season with the Sherbrooke Phoenix in the QMJHL.
As for Matteo Drobac, since we announced his invitation to the Canadiens rookie camp, there has been a lot of talk about how underrated he is as a goaltender and how he is a true winner.
We're talking about a goalie who set a franchise record for the Bulldogs (OHL) for the most wins in the organization's history.
We actually published an article to help you get to know him better:
These are two names to keep an eye on in the coming days at the Montreal Canadiens rookie camp live from Brossard.
Names like Logan Mailloux, Lane Hutson, David Reinbacher, and others will also be very interesting to watch as they prepare for the main camp.
