Canadiens defence prospect Josh Brook will get a head start on the 2020-21 season.
General manager Marc Bergevin announced Thursday that the team has agreed to loan Brook to the Krefeld Pinguine of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga for the start of the season. Brook is expected to report to both the Canadiens and Laval Rocket training camps for the 2020-21 season.
Brook will arrive for the start of the German League season, which has been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first games are scheduled for Nov. 13.
The native of Yorkton, Sask., was expected to challenge for a job with the Canadiens last season, but had a disappointing training camp. Brook played 60 games with the AHL’s Laval Rocket and collected four goals and nine assists. The 6-foot-1, 193-pound rearguard has four goals and 10 assists in 67 games since the start of his AHL career.
Brook was selected in the second round (56th overall) by the Canadiens at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
