Montreal Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme met briefly with the media on Thursday as he was in town for his charity’s annual golf tournament.
Ducharme made a couple of headlines when he mentioned that both Carey Price and Jonathan Drouin will be ready for the beginning of training camp, or shortly thereafter. The Canadiens camp is scheduled to begin on September 22, while their first preseason game is September 25.
Price was not expected to be available on day one due to injury and Drouin’s status has pretty much been a mystery since he took a leave of absence from the team in March.
