The Montreal Canadiens announced that Kent Hughes will be the 18th general manager in team history on Tuesday, and on Wednesday he met the media from the Bell Centre ice along with owner Geoff Molson and Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Jeff Gorton.
It will be the first opportunity to hear from Hughes and what his vision is for the organization. The 51-year-old Beaconsfield native was a player agent prior to taking the job with the Canadiens.
With Quartexx Management, Hughes represented a number of current and former NHL players, most notably Kris Letang, Patrice Bergeron, Vincent Lecavalier, and Darnell Nurse.
