For the past few days, we've been telling you about Montreal Canadiens prospect Riley Kidney, who is having a masterful season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Kidney, who turned 19 in March, has at least kept his word when he said at the beginning of the season that he wanted to "destroy the QMJHL". Nearly six months later, the CH's second round pick (63rd overall) in the 2021 auction has kept his word.

This is the first time in 22 years that two Tricolore prospects have reached the 100-point mark in the Courteau circuit (with Kidney and Joshua Roy).
