Montreal Canadiens and St. John’s IceCaps General Manager Marc Bergevin announced today the IceCaps have signed forward Guillaume Asselin to a one-year AHL/ECHL contract.
The 24-year-old, Quebec City native just completed a four-year stint with the University of Quebec at Trois Rivieres of the Ontario University Athletics conference. Asselin’s only previous professional experience came in 2013-14 when he skated in 11 games with Greenville of the ECHL. The five-foot-11, 194-pounder will report to the Canadiens’ ECHL affiliate – the Brampton Beast – tomorrow.
This contract is uniquely for the remainder of the 2016-2017 season. However Asselin seems to be highly regarded by the Canadians organisation. In addition to his AHL contract, Asselin also attended Montreal's camp this september.
Here are more details about this deal (quote in French) :
Ils veulent que je joue cinq matchs avec Brampton afin d'être éligible pour les séries éliminatoires, comme ce n'est pas assuré que les IceCaps y participeront. Par la suite, je devrais éventuellement être rappelé», explique l'ancien des Saguenéens de Chicoutimi au niveau junior.
Asselin will report to Brampton (ECHL) were he'll play at least 5 games before eventually joining the IceCaps. This move will make him eligible to play in the ECHL playoffs.
