Just like every game day morning in Montreal, the Canadiens held their morning skate at the Bell Centre. Usually, only the players in the active lineup are seen, but at the Canadiens, it's different.
Last year, we saw Jonathan Drouin and Cole Caufield present at certain practices, and now it's Kirby Dach's turn.
It may not seem like much, but Dach's presence is invaluable for him and his teammates. He may not participate on the ice, but he's there for the coaches' speeches, can offer an outside perspective to his teammates, all while continuing to learn from Martin St-Louis and his assistants.
It's quite rare to see this in the NHL, and for the Canadiens, it's becoming almost a tradition. The guys are very close and united, and the chemistry is truly special. It's very encouraging for the years ahead.
