Tomorrow they will announce Eric Belanger as 3R's first ever coach.

Great logo incorporating the Lion into the fluer-de-lis!

And the top part of the lion's mane is a torch, which is a symbol the Habs have used for the longest time.

Legit love that logo.Thumbs up.

Cue Butthead saying(in regards to the logo)"This is the coolest thing I have ever seen."

And if the logo is THAT good....God knows the jerseys are going to look AWESOME. Hell, I might even buy one.

I have a number of jerseys(across virtually all pro, minor pro and junior leagues)...always get them with no personalization.

We have the same tastes, 192 & counting. So I know whereof you speak, and I know how a collector can get caught up in the lure of "AWESOME." My wife is ready to have a closet built in our basement, and toss me in it on top of my pile of jerseys.

I love it when cultural norms extend across borders ... This is the L'annonce traditionnelle de L'annonce.

Looks like none of them will have far to go for a home-cooked meal.

There are two "Olivier Archambault" entries on Elite Prospects. Should I assume he's this one?

Interesting that they didn't protect his rights, and he signed that quickly after the end of the playoffs. I wonder if this was one of those handshake deals where he signed with Fort Wayne, but they had agreed not to protect him so he could play in 3R next season.

I only have 12(the only major North American leagues I don't have a jersey from are the QMJHL and FPHL).

Then you've got a LONG way to go. Go forth & multiply.

Another of the Quebec-born players that won the Kelly Cup with the Komets signs in Trois-Rivieres. Brodeur was the other one.




Interesting note about Galipeau, when his junior career was over, the Canadiens had invited him to the Laval Rocket camp. He had accepted the invitation. A day before the camp was set to open, Galipeau signed an AHL deal with Providence. Obviously the kid made the right call. One team invites you to a camp and another offers you a contract, you take the guaranteed contract.

He only played 5 AHL games with Providence and then played on their ECHL affiliate Atlanta Gladiators the rest of the year. He played for the Fort Wayne Komets for the last two years with a 4-game stint in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves somewhere in them.
