As we reported yesterday, 21 year old Montreal native Olivier Galipeau was expected at the rival Montreal Canadien’s development camp this week, only to spurn Les Habitants at the last second after being offered a contract with the Bruin’s American Hockey League affiliate in Providence. The talented left shot defenseman, who told media he grew up a Canadiens fan living less than 45 minutes away from the Bell Centre, was an overager in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), most recently with Patrice Bergeron’s former junior team, the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, with whom he won the QMJHL and Memorial Cup title in 2017-18.
