Jacob Fowler is already on the ice with the Canadiens (and he’s taking shots from Joshua Roy)

As you already know, Jacob Fowler has signed an entry-level contract with the Canadiens.

The contract is valid starting from the next season for what concerns the NHL. In the meantime, he will go finish his season with the Rocket de Laval, which will be excellent for him.

But since the club is in the Canadian West, he will not train with the Rocket before April 9.

In the meantime, Fowler is already in the Canadiens’ entourage and has started practicing. There’s nothing to prevent the Canadiens from inviting him to their practices while waiting for the return of the affiliate team in town.

This morning, as reported by Renaud Lavoie, he jumped on the ice and received shots from some players. We can see Joshua Roy on the ice, who did not play yesterday.

The Canadiens are not officially practicing today, but a few players still jumped on the ice. It’s very normal to see a Joshua Roy, who missed the last games, skating.

And having a goalkeeper like Fowler on the ice is good for everyone.

Speaking of Fowler, it’s interesting to note that the goalkeeper signed an entry-level contract with maximum signing bonuses, but not maximum performance bonuses.

It’s a good move by Hughes at that level.

His agent is Sean Coffey, the same agent as Lane Hutson, and an employee of the Quartexx firm, Kent Hughes’ former agency in his previous life.

Interesting, nonetheless.

In Overtime

– Note.

– Indeed.
