70 players will participate in the Canadiens training camp

MONTREAL – The Club de hockey Canadien announced on Tuesday the participation of 70 players in its training camp, which will officially begin on Wednesday, September 22 at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard, as players invited to the camp will undergo physical evaluations and medical examinations.

Media will be admitted to the Bell Sports Complex as of September 23, when the first on-ice training session will take place, and therefore the organization’s first media availability. The communications department will share with the media visuals captured during the physical tests of the first day of activities, since the protocols in place do not allow their presence in the team’s gymnasium as in the past. Of the 70 players invited to training camp, there are seven goalkeepers, 40 forwards and 23 defenders.

At the end of the rookie camp, the following players received an invitation for the official team camp: Tory Dello, Cédric Desruisseaux, Justin Ducharme, Gianni Fairbrother, Alexis Gravel, Kaiden Guhle, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, Cam Hillis, Jan Mysak, Mattias Norlinder, Joshua Roy, Xavier Simoneau, Daniil Sobolev, Joe Vrbetic, Arber Xhekaj and Jesse Ylönen.
