No doubt the 22-year-old young gun's adrenaline will be pumping extra hard in his first home opener in a Canadiens uniform.
"I've thought about it, what it will be like. It will be really special. I have a lot of friends and family coming to the game tonight. It will be cool for them, too, but it will be extra special for me to hear Michel Lacroix announce my name to the crowd," mentioned Drouin. "I've already seen plenty of player introductions on TV when I was younger. Being a part of it now is really cool."
Likewise, Charles Hudon has been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to participate in the pregame festivities ahead of the first game of the year on home turf.
"I'm pretty nervous thinking about tonight. It's a big thing. I've always said that I want to be a part of this team. The season has already started, but this is at home," said the 23-year-old left-winger. "Family and friends will all be there, so it's something special."
