Ceremony to be held before Oct. 6 game
But when you have the resumé that new Montreal Canadiens forward and Stanley Cup champion Alex Newhook has, the Victoria Grizzlies figured it was a no-brainer.
“I mean, to have it happen when I’m this young is a tremendous honour and I’m super- excited about it.” One person who will definitely be at The Q Centre on Oct. 6 is Newhook’s aunt, who lives in Victoria and who he recently visited. “You could see early on that he not only had exceptional speed and silky smooth hands, but he was also an extremely focused, determined young man. His work ethic, his committment to all parts of being an elite athlete were outstanding.
And this summer, an old family friend came calling with another opportunity, and it was off to the Canadiens, who aquired him for 2023 first and second-round draft picks and defenceman Gianni Fairbrother. Montreal’s general manager, Kent Hughes, was Newhook’s agent before taking the Canadiens’ job, and Newhook, of course, played with Kent’s eldest son, Riley, on the Grizzlies.
