Martin St-Louis recently had some good news to celebrate. His son, Ryan St-Louis, was invited to an NHL development camp.
The issue here, or maybe not, is that the organization that invited the 21-year-old is not the Montreal Canadiens, but rather the Washington Capitals.
This was reported by Mark Divver of the specialized outlet New England Hockey Journal.
Making a Name for Himself Away From the Montreal Canadiens and His Father
Ryan, the eldest son of Martin St-Louis, played last season with Brown University.
In a total of 23 games, he recorded 11 goals and 18 assists for a total of 29 points. Before his time at Brown, the 5-foot-10 forward was part of the U.S. National Development Program.
In the 2020-2021 season, he tallied 7 goals and 7 assists for a total of 14 points in 25 games.
While many may see this invitation as a betrayal of the Montreal Canadiens organization, I personally see it as good news for the young man.
St-Louis will now have the chance to showcase himself, but far from his father. It would be surprising to see him land a contract with the big club.
However, he could pull off a surprise.
Ryan is creative with the puck and has strong skating abilities.
If not in North America in the AHL or even the ECHL, he will certainly have great opportunities in Europe.
It'll be interesting to see how he performs at this development camp.
Who knows, maybe we'll see him alongside his father one day?
A Beautiful Turnaround for Martin St-Louis' Son
It's a remarkable turnaround for Martin St-Louis' son, who not long ago seemed far from knocking on the NHL's door, yet here he is.
We're extremely happy for him.
Martin must be so proud, and let's just say Ryan's determination and perseverance definitely didn't come from the neighbor!
