Lets go! More women in pro sports.

 

[Kiss Under the Guy]

So glad! My favorite hockey player of this generation! I was always recreating her with no.29 when playing NHL 6 on 6.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Very happy! With the rumors Habs were interested in bringing her in months ago (which she said she still wants to play next Olympics), you know she was going to join the Habs. Adam Nicholas adds to his department.





I would like to see Caroline Ouellette make her way into the organization.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

I love it

[Treb]

She's starting part time to continue her playing career.

She will be doing on-ice and video work to help ameliorate individual and collective skills.

 

[WeThreeKings]

A modern forward thinking organization bringing in fresh perspectives.

I could cry. I might cry.

 

[HomaridII]

Really smart hire, the best hockey player in the world, period.

 

[Beer and Chips]

It's fantastic they are acknowledging the job being done in women's hockey.

Isn’t she like busy with other things? Like, you know being the best female player ever?

Great hire but how does she have time for this?

That's why she will start part-time.

I'm assuming she will mostly be at the camps and once in a while via video. Maybe an appearance here and there during the season, probably in Laval as she can catch more than one guy on the ice.

Ah, don't touch my girl fella lol

Kidding aside, great hire. The best female player in the world who is well respected by men and women alike can only help the franchise.

Fresh thinking from Gorts and Co.

Just plain awesome.

They should have signed her has a player.

One of the most impressive parts of the HuGo era so far is their patience and persistence to get what they want.

- Gorton wanted Hughes all along and was able to persuade him to take the job.
- MSL was the guy they wanted to coach and they were able to get him on board with taking over as coach.
- Hughes didn't rush to trade his assets at the deadline and got his asking price and a massive haul.
- They wanted to bring MPP in the organization, despite her wanting to continue her career they found a solution to make it work.

It is a breath of fresh air compared to our prior era. In the past there was no vision and a lot of the time a lot of things were rushed and done irrationally.
