A Quebec-born forward from the Montreal Canadiens organization has recently announced his departure. He was a valuable asset for the AHL team last season.
After just one season with the Laval Rocket, Philippe Maillet has decided to return to Europe to continue his career.
The Lachenaie native played a significant role with the Rocket, registering 53 points in 67 games last year.
He has chosen to accept an offer from the Swiss club Ambrì-Piotta in the National League, a league with a strong international reputation.
The former Tigres de Victoriaville player has appeared in two NHL games with the Washington Capitals. He managed to climb the ranks despite being overlooked in the NHL draft.
It seems Philippe Maillet had been contemplating this decision for some time. His goal was to continue his hockey journey in Europe.
Players enjoy a high quality of life with their families there. Best of luck to Philippe!
