Jack Eichel to Montreal? It’s happening … in a way.

I don’t know why—could be pure coincidence—but Jack Eichel is boarding a plane headed for Montreal right now. And he’s bringing his hockey sticks with him.

Jack Eichel may be headed to Montreal to attend a camp.

Eichel will be attending the @BioSteelSports camp, but not playing in the games. Participation will be off-ice. https://t.co/NqnCHnGPjJ

He recently changed agents.

A development in the Jack Eichel situation: hearing he is now going to be represented by Pat Brisson.
