Welcome to Catching The Torch, where we keep an eye on the Montreal Canadiens’ North American prospects and how their development is faring week by week. This edition will gravitate around the Habs’ prospects in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and Western Hockey League (WHL), which hold four of the team’s future pieces in their programs.
The first player up is the only WHL prospect the Canadiens own after the team selected him in the first round in the 2020 draft.
