At 34, Alex Belzile realized that he would have to work to play matches in the National Hockey League. This is good, this is a big job.
“With age, you understand more what a hockey player you are and I know my chair. Often, at the beginning of the season, I will start in the American League, and this is not because you do not play in a match that you will not play in the match 50. ”
Belzile was one of many players who were sold a rocket after the first four preparatory games of the Canadian. He does not hide, being a little disappointed, meeting in Laval, even if he is completely happy in this locker room, where he knows almost everyone.
“Of course, I spent five years here, and this is fun to return, but your goal as a hockey player is to play in the best league. This is a little disappointment, but at the same time my rational spirit began.
“At the beginning of the season, there are often many guys, but the goal is to show that you can play in the National League, and I think this is what I did in my pre -season matches.”
The end of the bracket
Alex Belzile returned to the organization after a two -year -old bracket with New York Rangers and especially Hartford wolves in the American hockey league.
Two years later, he will have the right to reminder about five weeks with rangers in which he did not play any match. He still had the best season in the American league last year with 56 points in 66 games.
If he returns to the Canadian gyron, this is because he thinks that the team believes in his abilities to help in what is possible.
“I returned with an organization that, I think, did not see me as a guy who will play in the American league, but who can also play in the National League.
“I come to try to achieve the success of the team, there was really a great job here. The depth is really good in Montreal. I went to another place, and there are many very good young people in Montreal. ”
