The Montreal Canadiens drafted Charles Hudon in the fifth round of the 2012 NHL Draft. He was an undersized winger for the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but he showed terrific two-way play as a young player.
The Alma, Quebec native scored over a point per game pace before being drafted and then increased his point total by five in each of the next two seasons. Since turning pro, he has always been an offensive threat at the American Hockey League level, but hasn’t been able to bring that scoring to the National Hockey League yet.
