"Every hockey fan notices the team's success and recognizes the team's failures. The person behind both is the team's general manager. Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes has brought new life into the organization since his hire and the future looks bright with him in control. The organization believes in his abilities so much that they have him a new five-year extension, announced by Canadians President, Owner, and Chief Executive Officer Geoff Molson."
"Hughes was named the 18th GM in Canadians history on January 18, 2022, and led the 2024-25 team to their first playoff berth since the 2020-21 season. He was quite successful before being named to the GM post in Montreal. Before this role, he was a certified agent with Quebec-based firm Quatrexx Management and represented Patrice Bergeron, Anthony Beauvillier, Darnell Nurse, and Kris Letang. He represented 20 players at the time when he was hired as GM."
