The Canadiens organization announce the addition of a strong young forward
The Montreal Canadiens organization has just announced the addition of a strong young forward.
In anticipation of the official Canadiens training camp, which will obviously take place next September, Kent Hughes has added young Justin Larose to his lineup.
We're talking about a 19-year-old forward from St-Lazare, who scored 80 points, including 38 goals, last season with the Victoriaville Tigres.
Justin Larose gets his chance with the Montreal Canadiens
See the official announcement.
Clearly, he is very talented and has caught the eye of the Canadiens' management.
This is the second time he has been invited by Kent Hughes.
We are really looking forward to seeing him in action, along with the other young players in the organization, in a few weeks!
Larose is a 5-foot-9, 170-pound forward, playing as a left winger, and he already has three seasons of experience in the QMJHL (all with Victoriaville).
We're talking about a young player who most likely should have been drafted into the National Hockey League but wasn't due to his size.
80 points, including 38 goals in just 67 games, is very solid for a young player in his 18-year-old season. He also added 16 points in 14 playoff games in 2024.
A name to remember!
