The Montreal Canadiens announced that they have signed defenceman Cale Fleury to a three-year entry level contract.
Fleury was selected in the third round by the Canadiens, 87th overall, at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft from the Kootenay ICE of the Western Hockey League.
He was the captain of the ICE for two years before being traded to the Regina Pats last season. where he dramatically turned around his rating from -61 in 70 games to a +17 in 68 games after the trade, taking on a more defensive role after single-handedly running the team’s transition game in Kootenay.
