The Montreal Canadiens organization recently announced the signing of a forward who will make his professional debut next season.
The Canadiens' ECHL affiliate, the Trois-Rivières Lions, have signed a promising Quebecois player. Tommy Cormier has joined the Lions after an impressive career in the QMJHL.
He had two seasons with nearly 80 points and 70 goals in his final two campaigns with the Victoriaville Tigres.
Cormier appears to have a similar profile to Pierrick Dubé, who has established himself in the AHL after starting his professional career with the Lions.
It's a significant signing for the organization, and Tommy Cormier has the potential to play games with the Laval Rocket sooner rather than later within the Montreal franchise's system.
