Rise of Habs: How One GM Changed the Canadiens Forever!

Three years ago, the Montreal Canadiens were the worst team in hockey. Dead last. A complete embarrassment.
Today? They’re one of the most exciting teams in the NHL. How did this happen? One man. Kent Hughes. And he had never been a GM before in his life. This is the story of how one man with zero experience outsmarted the entire NHL and saved hockey’s most famous team.

Let’s go back to 2022. The Canadiens were a disaster—broken roster, injured stars, angry fans, and no clear direction. Then came the shock: Kent Hughes, a former player agent with zero front-office experience, was hired as the new general manager. Critics called it a mistake. Fans were worried. But Hughes had something they didn’t—vision. And that vision would completely change the future of the Montreal Canadiens.
