The start of a new NHL season is approaching, and all eyes are already on Nick Suzuki, especially on how he continues to develop.

At just 26 years old, he wears the "C" seriously and has just explained how he has grown into this important role.
Suzuki revealed that he wants to continue leading the team without changing his personality. He knows that the challenge of being a captain is finding a balance between being a leader and staying true to yourself.
His words show a player who is increasingly taking responsibility for guiding his teammates in a young locker room.

Nick Suzuki explains how he is learning to lead the Montreal Canadiens

In a recent interview shared by RDS, Suzuki said:
"I think I've just grown a little. I've had different experiences as a captain, trying to lead my way. Trying not to change who I am as a person and as a player." - Suzuki

This passage clearly reflects his willingness to evolve. However, the most important point is that he doesn't want to play a role that isn't true to him; he wants to learn and grow alongside his teammates.
Suzuki also emphasized the importance of exchanging ideas with others.
"I'm simply growing my game and learning, exchanging ideas with the players and coaches. I'm just trying to develop every aspect of myself."

This shows that he doesn't see himself as a perfect captain, but as someone who is striving to improve.
I find this perspective inspiring and, above all, reassuring, as it reflects the image of a modern young captain. Suzuki wants to build a healthy and authentic culture in Montreal.
In my opinion, this maturity is what can help the Canadiens take the next step in the coming seasons and also help develop the young players around him.
