LONDON, ON – The 2016 Rookie Tournament wrapped up for the Canadiens’ young guns on Sunday afternoon, which meant it was time for coaches to evaluate the players and players to evaluate themselves.
Pride and praise: Following Sunday afternoon’s contest, the Canadiens’ director of player development, Martin Lapointe, reflected on the performance of several of the team’s up-and-coming prospects over the last three days of competition.
Several players, in particular, caught the eye of the two-time Stanley Cup champion, who served as the squad’s head coach in London, ON.
With respect to Artturi Lehkonen, Lapointe appreciated his contributions on the ice and his overall attitude as well.
