The Laval Rocket were in the midst of a playoff push, and their most successful season of their three at Place Bell. Due to the injuries faced by them and their parent team, the Montreal Canadiens, players on AHL contracts played a large role under Joël Bouchard.
Of the five major players under AHL contracts, Yannick Veilleux has already signed another AHL contract for 2020-21 while the others are now free agents. Laval has signed five players for 2021-21: Veilleux, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, Liam Hawel, and recently added Samuel Vigneault and Corey Schueneman signed last week.
