Four players to get professional tryouts with the Habs

The Habs training camp will begin shortly and the official roster was announced earlier today.

There will be 44 forwards, 21 defensemen and nine goaltenders on Day 1 of camp. According to TVA Sports, four of these players are in the camp thanks to a professional tryout:

- Pierrick Dubé (forward)- John Parker-Jones (defenseman)- Antoine Coulombe (goalie)- Riley Mercer (goalie)

Let's recall that it was through a professional tryout that the Habs discovered Arber Xhekaj last year. The young man impressed so much that he earned an entry-level contract at the end of training camp. It could happen to others if they take the opportunity.
