Montreal Canadiens' 2025 Rookie Camp is set to begin on September 10th and run through September 16th, offering a glimpse into the team's future. The camp will be held at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard and the Bell Centre in Montreal. A total of 26 players, including 15 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 3 goalies, will participate. Eighteen of these players were drafted by the Canadiens, with five being selected in the 2025 NHL Draft. The camp will also feature two games against the Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs prospects on September 13th and 14th at the Bell Centre.

Here are some of the key players to keep an eye on:

Ivan Demidov: As the Canadiens' first-round pick in 2024, all eyes will be on Ivan Demidov. After a strong showing in Russia, Demidov is expected to make an immediate impact in the NHL. His speed, puck skills, and scoring ability are well-suited for the modern game. He even joined the Canadiens' playoff roster last season, hinting at his potential.

David Reinbacher: The young defenseman, David Reinbacher, is another highly anticipated prospect. He is expected to get a real look during the training camp.

Jacob Fowler: Among the three goalies attending the camp, Jacob Fowler is a notable name. This will be Fowler's first North American rookie camp experience as he prepares for the NHL camps later in the month. Scouts consider Fowler to be among the Canadiens' top goalie prospects.

Owen Beck: Owen Beck is another forward to watch closely. He's among the players who should be in the mix for NHL spots this season.

Oliver Kapanen: Kapanen is another forward who played NHL playoff games last season, giving him an advantage in claiming a spot. He is also considered to be in the mix for NHL spots this season.

Florian Xhekaj: Xhekaj is another player on the NHL radar.

Other prospects to keep an eye on include Adam Engström, Filip Mesar, and Luke Tuch. The Laval Rocket's coaching staff, led by head coach Pascal Vincent, will oversee the on-ice practices, games, and evaluations during the camp. This rookie camp provides a valuable opportunity for these young players to showcase their skills and compete for a spot in the Canadiens' organization.
