The Montreal Canadiens have drafted an influx of talent hailing from the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) in recent years, scattered across all seven rounds.
While it was a quiet night in the National Hockey League last night, all eyes of Montreal Canadiens fans were on the Laval Rocket. The Habs’ club-école was playing an all-important game at Place Bell against the Belleville Senators.

The Laval Rocket welcomed the Toronto Marlies to Place Bell in Laval, Quebec, for a 7 p.m. puck drop on Friday night. Unlike the Canadiens, Laval has gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season so this was a big game.

The Montreal Canadiens began investing in goaltending capital at the NHL Draft over the past few seasons. With Carey Price entrenched as their starter, this wasn’t a need for a long time, but the former management team started to take late round swings at potential succession plans in the past few drafts.
