NEW YORK – Marc Bergevin isn’t afraid of a little long-term commitment.
A few hours before the Canadiens hit the ice at Madison Square Garden looking to claim top spot in the NHL, Habs owner, president, and CEO Geoff Molson had some business to tend to off the ice, locking down general manager Marc Bergevin to a contract extension that will keep him in Montreal through 2022.
“First of all, I’d like to thank Geoff Molson and the entire Canadiens organization for this vote of confidence. Also Serge Savard, who was part of the hiring process when I was brought on in 2012,” began Bergevin, who met with the media just prior to his team’s 23rd game of the campaign.
