L'Acadie Nouvelle reports this morning Riopel was pleased to learn he's been invited to Montreal's next training camp. It appears Bergevin-Jean's recommendation played a decisive role in this decision.

Good news for Moncton! Hopefully this will help convince other players (going to NCAA) to report to the team.

Good news for Moncton! Hopefully this will help convince other players (going to NCAA) to report to the team. I can't imagine this type of news would make much difference to a player mulling NCAA options ... a long term pattern of guys moving through the organization to success in pro hockey might, but one guy getting (or not getting) invited to training camp shouldn't influence a decision much - if it does you really have to question the quality of the advice the player is receiving. Although, in this particular case, isn't there a link? Seems to me Riopel is dating Boileau-Domingues' sister or something ... and didn't I read somewhere that LBD, Cisse, and Bissonette are all very good friends? In that case, seeing a guy they know get invited to the Habs camp (remember, they are are Montrealers who no doubt grew up worshipping the Habs) after playing for the Cats may have some influence on the kids ... though it shouldn't influence their advisors ... |

I mean it more in a general kind of way. The more it happens the better it is. I know one time won't really make a difference.
You got a good point for LBD Cisse and Bissonette. It definately can't hurt.
