Following the recent announcement of the green light received by the young prospect, which allows him to officially play in the NHL, the Quebec Government has now weighed in on Mailloux's eligibility to join the major league.
The Minister responsible for Sport, Isabelle Charest, stated that «Logan Mailloux deserves a second chance» and added that the 19-year-old has taken serious steps towards rehabilitation.
Ms. Charest pointed out that it was the Canadiens' daring decision to draft Mailloux which particularly disappointed her during his selection two years earlier.
As TVA Sports revealed regarding the work done by Mailloux, he underwent a rigorous and necessary process, which now grants him the right to a second chance, allowing him to realize his dream of playing in the National League.
We are genuinely eager to see him perform at the Canadiens' training camp to assess his progression and development against a level far more challenging than junior hockey.
