Montreal Canadiens goaltending prospect Zachary Fucale is finally ready to embark on his professional career after five seasons and 204 games played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
"Yeah, it was a couple of games, but it was the best time," Fucale said this week at the NHL Players' Association Rookie Showcase in Toronto. "I got an opportunity in Halifax when I was 16 and I'm happy the coaches had the confidence to send me in there night after night. I learned a lot with some pretty awesome players, some great teams, and I had some pretty good opportunities.
