Carey Price reportedly considered a Canadiens comeback last year and revealed interest in a coaching

We learned today that Carey Price reportedly considered a return to play with the Montreal Canadiens last year.

And he came very close to doing it.

According to a fan who had the chance to meet Price recently in Moncton, the legendary goaltender was feeling good and believed he could come back.

He even worked on the ice with that goal in mind!

But the very next morning, the knee pain had returned.

The dream of a comeback ended there.

Carey Price expresses interest in joining Canadiens as goaltending coach

And here’s the part that will get people talking.

Price reportedly mentioned that he would like to become a goaltending coach for the Montreal Canadiens.

Imagine Carey Price behind the bench, working daily with Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler.

He’s the kind of mentor who could make a huge difference in the development of the organization’s young goaltenders.

Would general manager Kent Hughes and head coach Martin St-Louis be open to the idea?

It’s worth remembering that Price played 712 career games with the Canadiens, won the Hart Trophy, the Vezina Trophy, and the Jennings Trophy in the same year, and led the team to the Stanley Cup Final in 2021.

His hockey sense and experience in net are unmatched in the recent history of the Montreal Canadiens.

This is really interesting!
