It's fascinating how long this matter is taking to be resolved by Gary Bettman and the National Hockey League, but there's been a recent update.
Francis Bouillon, from the Montreal Canadiens, has just confirmed that Mailloux still hasn't received the green light from the NHL to play.
Unbelievable.
So, Mailloux is still prohibited from playing for the Montreal Canadiens, just days before the start of training camps.
You can guess that it's not universally popular.
While attending the golf tournament of the Montreal Canadiens' foundation, the former Tricolore defenseman, Francis Bouillon, indeed made a major statement about young Mailloux's situation.
He confirms that Mailloux did meet with the NHL leaders, but he did not get the green light.
"I know he met with the leaders, but nothing has come out of it yet. Personally, I can't speculate on it; I haven't had confirmation from anyone." - Francis Bouillon
Of course, if a decision had been made, Bouillon would be aware.
So, this matter continues and we keep following it closely for you.
