Here’s what some of the players and coaches had to say as they wrapped up camp:
Daniel Jacob on the group’s progression over the weekend:
I’m pleased with the way they progressed from the first game to the second. I felt the players were more comfortable with each other and with what we taught them. I’m pleased with the group and the way they progressed over the weekend. [...] You see the excitement and that they can’t wait to play.
Owen Protz on the 2026 NHL Prospect Challenge:
Everyone was just trying to get back into the competitive spirit of winter season again. I think once that second game against Ottawa hit, [...] the intensity grew and everyone pumped up their energy. To be able to hit guys and just have fun out there was really awesome.
Tyler Thorpe on the experience to be gained at the upcoming training camp:
That’s the best part about training camp. You get to be on the bench with guys like Marty [Martin St-Louis], who’s been behind coaching for five years and who played the game for 15 years in the NHL. You get to be on the bench with a guy like that, and he’s trying to help you. You can’t trade that for anything else in the world.
Canadiens training camp officially gets underway on Wednesday in Brossard. Stay tuned to canadiens.com and to the team’s Instagram, X, Facebook, and YouTube accounts for full coverage.
