Logan Mailloux, born April 15, 2003, in Belle River, Ontario, is a defenseman currently under contract with the Montreal Canadiens. Drafted 31st overall in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Mailloux has shown significant promise on the ice, despite his controversial off-ice history.
Mailloux’s playing style is characterized by his offensive acumen and physical presence. Standing 6’3″ and weighing 220 pounds, he is known for his strong shot and ability to contribute to the power play. In the 2023-2024 season with the Laval Rocket in the AHL, Mailloux recorded 14 goals and 33 assists in 72 games, earning a spot on the AHL All-Rookie Team and representing his team at the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic.
His NHL debut came at the end of the 2023-2024 season, where he notched an assist in his first game with the Canadiens. Despite his potential, Mailloux’s career has been shadowed by a serious incident that led to a suspension and significant public scrutiny. However, his on-ice performance continues to demonstrate why the Canadiens took a chance on him in the draft.
Mailloux’s future in the NHL looks promising as he continues to develop his game and work on his defensive responsibilities. The Montreal Canadiens and their fans will be watching closely to see how this young talent evolves in the coming seasons.
