Hi All,
I posted this after publishing in the off-season and am re-posting once more ahead of the upcoming NHL season. Bryan Fogarty was born in Montreal and grew up a Canadiens fan, it was also the last NHL team he played for in his brief career. He was a generational talent that may have been born a generation too soon.
Here is the longform piece I wrote about him.
I spoke with many former teammates, friends and acquaintances including Serge Savard that brought him to the Habs and Gary Leeman who played with him while he was there and also in Germany.
Feel free to comment and/or share.

Thanks.
