LONDON, ON – Victor Mete felt very much at home in his first appearance in a Canadiens uniform on Saturday night.
After all, the 18-year-old defenseman was playing in front of the same fans at Budweiser Gardens who’ve been cheering him on for the past two years as a member of their beloved London Knights.
Even though the crowd on hand was rooting primarily for the Toronto Maple Leafs’ young guns, Mete says he felt their unwavering support from start to finish. Having a few family members in the stands as well to give him an additional boost was certainly a bonus in his 2016 Rookie Tournament debut, too.
