With their last pick of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, the Montreal Canadiens decided to do something that has brought them success in the past. Looking to the QMJHL for a player who was passed over in the last two drafts, they selected defenceman Miguel Tourigny from the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
Birthplace: Victoriaville, Québec
Date of birth: February 9, 2002
Shoots: Right
Position: Defence
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 172 lbs.
Team: Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL)
Tourigny was traded mid-season from the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada over to the Titan for four draft picks, a significant price for Bathurst in order to bolster their blue line.
