Preparing for the playoff - 12 players of Montreal Canadien are joining tomorrow the first training camp of the season

The Montreal Canadian GM has setup great expectations for this season even though the team has just graduated in league III.2

"We are here to win the league" said the owner Denis Labarthe.

In order to make sure that everything is done to execute the plan, 12 players have been sent to the first training camp of the season.

1. Grzegorz Długołęcki
Freshly acquired via the trading market for a little bit more than 2M on April 25th 2010, this young winger is expected to take the LW1 spot and replace our long time number one left winger Bence Fülep when coming back from camp. The coach Radomír Krejči gave clear directions to Grzegorz: "Work on your offensive game, think offense, offense, offense"

2. Johathan Trudeau
Johathan has graduated the 31st of April 2010 from the Sporting Academy and David Kulhánek the head Scouting Director has just good words for the young right offensive D man: "Johathan showed us that he could play in League III, he needs to improve his defensive game but when he's ready, our defensive squad will count in a new weapon"

3. Lyle Manuel
Lyle was acquired via the trading market for a 1.1M on April 23rd 2010, this young winger is expected to help the team on the power play with his deadly shot from the point. David Kulhánek mentioned that he has never seen a player of his age having such an accurate and powerfull shot! Lyle needs to work on his defensive game to be able to help the team in a run for a playoff spot and later on to win League III.

4. Kornel Zaleski
Kornel was acquired via the trading market for a 1.7M on April 31rd 2010, this young center has amazing offensive and passing skills. David Kulhánek during a press conference said about him: "Kornel trade was not expected at this point of time in the season but the owner and the General Manager and all our coaching staff think that Kornel will help the team reach a new level in a few months or maybe next season".

5. Peter Boucher
Peter was acquired via the trading market for 560k on February 23rd 2010, this promising goalie has incredible qualities, a good technique but he still has to work to reach the level needed to be a starting goalie for the Montreal Canadian team. He has a good competition with Kyle Doak who came out of nowhere March 4th 2010 from the Sporting Academy and he's now the starting goalie.

Also attending the camp this year:
Cary Godwin (Left Winger)
Olgierd Kiliszek (Center)
Boleslav Volf (Left Winger)
