The Rocket picked up where they left off.

It was a great return to action for Brendan Gallagher as he led the Habs to a solid win at home.

After getting obliterated on the road last night, what will the Canadiens have in store back home?

The battered and short-handed Rocket again put together a great effort in a loss.

Club de Hockey Canadien With a division title all wrapped up after a dominant showing on Wednesday evening, the Laval Rocket’s goal for the few remaining games this season was to give their young prospects a chance to get their feet wet in expanded roles. On Friday that was especially true as Ryan Poehling had been shut down for the year with a wrist injury, while Alex Belzile remained on the Montreal Canadiens’ taxi squad. With Yannick Veilleux also suspended, the Rocket were down to just ...

Club de Hockey Canadien With seven games left in the season, the Laval Rocket were in a spot to do something that a Montreal Canadiens AHL affiliate hadn’t done in a long time: clinch a division title. All they needed was a single point against the Toronto Marlies, but they still had quite the challenge on their hands. They were without Alex Belzile and Cayden Primeau (recalled to the NHL), Joseph Blandisi, Michael Pezzetta, and Joel Teasdäle (season-ending injuries), and Ryan Poehling and C...

Shanna Martin After Joseph Blandisi was left off of the Montreal Canadiens’ return-to-play camp roster, there was reason to wonder whether he had a future in the organization. Due to injuries, he was limited to just four games with the Laval Rocket after the trade that brought him to Montreal. He would be a free agent at the end of the year, as well.

Club de hockey Canadien Alex Belzile scored the only goal in the shootout, and Michael McNiven made 20 saves as the Laval Rocket pulled out a 5-4 win against the Toronto Marlies on Sunday night at the Bell Centre. Yannick Veilleux scored twice in regulation for the Rocket. Lukas Vejdemo, Ryan Poehling, and Jan Mysak also had goals. After falling behind early in their game on Friday night in Toronto, it was a better start for the Rocket. On the opening shift, the line of Veilleux, Vejdemo, and B...

Club de Hockey Canadien The Laval Rocket have lost games this year. They’ve lost in regulation, they’ve lost in overtime, but on Monday night they lost everywhere on the ice in Ottawa. The Rocket never found a gear outside of neutral, and a Belleville side hungry for their second win of the year picked them apart without much issue. It was a harsh loss, one that the entire team and coaching staff took to heart. Luckily, they didn’t have to wait long for their rematch, clashing with the Se...

Club de Hockey Canadien On a tumultuous Wednesday that saw the Laval Rocket promote assistant coach Alex Burrows to the NHL team, the Rocket had to focus on their game against the Manitoba Moose. Their previous meeting saw the Rocket hammer Mikhail Berdin with 41 shots, but still lose the game on an overtime power-play goal by Ville Heinola. After a physical contest on Monday, head coach Joël Bouchard opted for a heavier lineup, inserting Michael Pezzetta and Brandon Baddock on the fourth line...
