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 Cale Fleury (day to day). Xavier Ouellet was back in the lineup, as were Laurent Dauphin and Brandon ...

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. The team signed Blandisi to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2020-21 season in September and he has solidified his spot in the organization.

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 Sens again on Wednesday night. Joël Bouchard opted to re-insert Arsen Khisamutdinov and Jan Myšák i...

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, while Joël Teasdale drew in for Arsen Khisamutdinov. The defensive group remained the same, with ...
