MONTREAL – As far as changes of scenery go, Torrey Mitchell couldn’t have asked for better in 2014-15.
Once a member of the College Charles-Lemoyne Riverains on Montreal’s south shore during his Midget AAA days, Mitchell never could have imagined that some 15 years later, he’d be playing for his hometown Habs.
Yet there he was suiting up at the Bell Centre for the first time as recently as March – just several kilometers from where he grew up – the latest stop on an NHL career path which has already taken him through San Jose, Minnesota, and Buffalo.
