“Kent & I go way back. He’s 5 years older than me. He went to Middlebury, I went to Vermont. He used to be my camp counsellor for a couple summers back in Montreal. We were acquaintances for a long time then we became close friends.” – Coach Marty on GM Kent Hughes.

when St Louis was birthed by his mother, Hughes cut the umbilical cord
Not as deep as the Hughes connection, but I also enjoyed that link with Ducharme at Vermont.
>…me and Dom go way back, so it was kinda sensitive a little bit; Dom gets fired and I come in there, it was tough because Dom’s a friend of mine, a good one. Dom really took me and Éric(Perrin) under his wing and showed us the ropes in Vermont, especially early on.
Paving the way for Marty wherever he goes!
Typical Habs management hiring their unqualified friends for key positions
big time /s ; I love that MSL came around here to coach, especially because I don’t recall him using the Habs as a bargaining chip in contract negotiations or him coming here for a last payday a la “I’ve always wanted to ~~get paid~~ play here”
