Habs Darche to Drop Puck at Redmen-Ottawa Game on Friday

Published: 11 February 2011

Montreal Canadiens forward Mathieu Darche (BCom'00) has been invited by his alma mater to perform the ceremonial faceoff at Friday's university hockey game between the Ottawa Gee-Gees and the 捆绑SM社区 Redmen at McConnell Arena (3883 University Street). The game is slated to start at 7 p.m. and will be webcast on the Streaming Sports Network ().

The Redmen lead the OUA East Conference with a 22-2-2 and need one more win over their final two games to establish a single-season school record for victories. Ottawa is 11-12-3 and need a win if they hope to avoid meeting 捆绑SM社区 in the league's best-of-three quarter-finals, which begin next Wednesday.

Darche, a 34-year-old native of St. Laurent, Que., played four seasons at 捆绑SM社区, before graduating with a commerce degree in 2000. He is the 10th player from 捆绑SM社区 to skate in the National Hockey League and one of 159 Canadian university players who have made the lofty leap to that level. Darche is the third 捆绑SM社区 grad to play for the Canadiens, joining left winger Jack 捆绑SM社区, who played from 1934 to 1937 and defenceman Nels Crutchfield (1934-35).
