Crédit: Michael Hage of University of Michigan takes a shot against Arizona State Sun Devils.

Michael Hage isn’t fooling around with his summer practice. The Canadiens prospect, who could be in Montreal in April 2026 if the stars align, knows that next season will be very important for him. And he wants to make the most of it. One of Hage’s goals is clearly to get stronger. He believes this will help him defensively, something he wants to work on in his second year in the NCAA. But he also wants to get stronger to be a proverbial hard-to-play-against player for his eventual move to the pros. To do this, Michael Hage pushes iron five times a week in the gym. Add to that the fact that he skates three to four times a week and has changed his diet, and it’s clear he’s serious this summer. #CommeIlSeDoitAs reported by Nicolas Cloutier, who reported on the subject for TVA Sports, Hage is up to 200 lbs. That’s 10 more than the last official measurements.

[content-ads]Repeatedly told how important it was for him to improve his game without the puck (which is, in fact, the majority of his time on the ice), he got the message.

Good for him!That’s also the importance of a second season in the NCAA: he won’t exactly be a rookie anymore, and he’ll be able to improve other facets of his game. He’s putting himself in a position to dominate. In my opinion, he’s also understood that any top-6 center in the NHL must have some defensive responsibility. And if Hage wants that chair in Montreal… So seeing him at 200 pounds is a good thing.[spacer title=’Overtime’]- Speak of the devil.

– It’s not going so well in L.A.

– That would be a nice addition, indeed.
