Welcome to the Canadiens, Kent Hughes

It was spectacular to see the leaders of the Canadian, Geoff Molson, Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes, seated at the table which had as a background the huge painting of the Bell Center, lowered very close to the height of the ice rink. It is often said: “You only have one chance to make a good impression and seduce the world when you first meet”. Kent Hughes did not miss his chance.

In the Canadian’s locker room, we see Vincent Damphousse; Kent Hughes, the new GM of the Canadian; Jeff Gorton, executive vice president, hockey operations; Geoff Molson; Réjean Houle and Patrice Brisebois.

The president, sports and entertainment of the CH, France Margaret Bélanger, and her team did a colossal job, because the press conference took place on the ice rink.

The Canadiens jersey was given to the new GM of the Habs, Kent Hughes, from the hands of Geoff Molson.

Louis Jean, host at TVA Sports, is with his colleague Claude Guillet, the niece of a former Canadian defender, the late Carol Vadnais.

Kent Hughes, a supporter of the Canadian in his youth, greeted the former defender of the CH Patrice Brisebois saying to him: “Breezer, you have to find the time to go and enjoy a meal”.

Renaud Lavoie, TVA Sports, and Montrealer Eric Engels, who is assigned to cover the Canadiens with Sportsnet, covered the process of the appointment of the new general manager.

Former CH captain Vincent Damphousse was in deep discussion in the language of Molière with new DG Kent Hughes in the team’s locker room.

The two newcomers to the Canadiens, Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes, pose proudly with the Canadiens jersey.

Journalists were seated in the stands yesterday. Jean-François Chaumont and Jonathan Bernier, from Montreal Journal, surround Patrick Friolet, of RDS.
