Zachary Bolduc: he’s the one who complained about the Québécois’ place with ÉCJ

That said, a lot has been said about Bolduc as a player, but a little less has been said about him as a person. And a few years ago, Bolduc was the talk of the town for off-ice reasons.

In 2022, Bolduc was invited to the Team Canada junior camp, but was cut. Afterwards, he criticized Hockey Canada, saying that the Québécois “leave with two strikes” at the JCS camp.

It caused quite a stir at the time.

Let’s not forget that, at the time, Stéphane Leroux mentioned that, in his opinion, it was really because Bolduc hadn’t been good enough that he had been cut. We were talking about a purely offensive player who didn’t lend himself well to a support role, diminishing his chances of making the club.

The good news is that he seems to be a slightly more complete player than he was back then.

And obviously, the Québécois’ frustration back then seems to have motivated him, who has become a solid NHL player since then.

And now, as a Québécois, he’ll have the opportunity to shine in Montreal.

On the subject of this transaction, Anthony Martineau chatted with Logan Mailloux. Mailloux thanked the fans and admitted he was disappointed to leave the Habs, given that the club is building something very interesting.

But he says he can’t wait to get back to the Bell Centre, as he hopes to play an important role in St. Louis.
