So apparently Jacob Fowler is taking a French college course in BC after being drafted by the Habs
Stick taps for @usahockey WJC goaltender @jacobfowler24.
As a @CanadiensMTL draft pick, he is taking French at @BostonCollege to help him communicate with Montreal fans.

My goalie
Good kid
+1 pour Jacob
That shows good character. Good for him.
Get ready to learn French budd- … what, he’s already taking classes? Well… this is awkward.
The vibes on this kid are off the charts
What a champ
This will please people here for 5 minutes till the fan base throws him under the bus.
Please allow this kid to grow and mature. Please for the love god.
There’s some context there, too. He has families with Quebec. His grandfather was a Habs fan. Getting drafted by the Habs might have been the final push he needed to learn some French.
He’s our next Carey!
I wish more Anglo players would do this.
I remember Larry Robinson, Bob Gainey and Ken Dryden all eventually were able to be interviewed in French etc.
big brain move
Attaboy
This kid is different
He’d be the only one to take it seriously
If the plan is to get to Laval in a year or two that would be a prudent idea.
I hope he spends summer in France training with Huet and comes to montreal with a mean proper French accent and acts like a jerk about it.
Bon ti-gars.
