[Runner77]

I read the title quickly and immediately thought they had hired @Adam Michaels .

Since the announcement is not about @Adam Michaels, then I don’t give a shit about this other guy.

Also the Chicago Steel which just produced a pretty good batch of players that include Farrell.

[Captain Mountain]

No idea who this is, but just having someone for the role is a big plus.

 

[Justin11]

Nice!

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Pfft over-rated, we draft them and it’s up to them to develop on their own time and if they can’t it’s their fault

The day the Habs hire me, all the announcements will be made on HF first.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Welcome

 

[WeThreeKings]

He's a director which means there will be many positions filled underneath of him.

He's a director which means there will be many positions filled underneath of him.

Now to bring in a skating coach, among other things.

 

[Boardish]

I’m guessing his mandate will include both pro players and prospects. Our “development team” used to only be focused on prospects.

 

[Wats]

If the Leafs/Chicago Steel are anything...it's skilled. Nice to see Montreal care about skill for a change.

There's no way they could afford him My boy Adam doesn't work cheap !

So nothing will change then.

 

[Crusher117]

Nicholas is also the founder and owner of Stride Envy, a company that specializes in player skill development, specifically skating techniques.

Nice

 

[FloJack]

Can’t believe the Habs are modernizing. Serious. Great step in the right direction.

 

[Colezuki]

Excited to see what this does to the young guys over the coming years, one thing that has been frustrating with this team is it should have near unlimited assets on drafting and development and yet it felt like we penny pinched, happy to see that changing

Now to bring in a skating coach, among other things.

I believe one of our Olympian short track speed skaters offered to get involved but the guy they hired likely has his own people.

So Nicolas is Director of Hockey Development. While Ramage is....Director of Player Development? Will we ever know the difference between the 2?

 

[WeThreeKings]

So Douglas is Director of Hockey Development. While Ramage is....Director of Player Development? Will we ever know the difference between the 2?

No but they do and that's what matters.

One is off-ice other on Ice maybe?

Or one means the departure of the other?
