David St-Jean

Analyst

I've always used writing to express myself. Writing assignments, even in school, were never a challenge for me. A hockey fanatic since childhood, my room was covered in posters of Montreal Canadiens players. I loved describing Patrick Roy's spectacular saves and Paul DiPietro's goals during the 1993 Stanley Cup victory.

I've played hockey my whole life, dedicating almost my entire twenties to the sport. I was a forward in ice hockey, a defenseman in floor hockey, and a goalie in dek hockey. All at the same time, playing in four different leagues throughout the year.

Academically, I studied sports management and officially began my career as a hockey writer in 2017 on the website habsetlnh.com. Little by little, I contributed to the growth of this blog, which was subsequently taken over expertly. I hired, trained, and managed teams of writers, all while continuing to write. Finally, in May 2023, I decided to become a full-time manager. Writing about the Montreal Canadiens and hockey in general has been a dream come true ever since. My mission is to share my passion, experience, and knowledge with you through my writing, because you truly deserve it!
