McGill grads go head-to-head in NHL match-up at Bell Centre
They came, they saw, they didn't conquer. The Los Angeles Kings were beaten 4-1 by the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre, Wednesday. For a McGill fan, it was a tough night to cheer as McGill grads were on both benches of this National Hockey League encounter.
In the Habs lineup was Mathieu Darche, a 2000 McGill BCom graduate from St. Laurent, Que., who assisted on the game's first goal and was also on the ice for his team's last goal. Darche is the 10th McGill player to skate in the NHL.
On the Los Angeles bench was Jamie Kompon, a 1989 physical education grad from Thunder Bay, Ont., who is in his fifth season as an assistant coach with the Kings after nine years with the St. Louis Blues. Kompon is the sixth former Redmen player to coach in the NHL.
