There is movement within the Montreal Canadiens organization.<\/p>\n

As we reported in recent hours, a young defenseman has been released from the organization.<\/p>\n

This recent release of J\u00e9r\u00e9my Michaud is now explained!<\/p>\n

Bernard-Docker is a name NHL fans will certainly recognize, because yes, he has an interesting family connection.<\/p>\n

He is in fact the brother of defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker, who currently plays in the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings.<\/p>\n

The young man has just completed his university career after four seasons in the NCAA.<\/p>\n

He proudly wore the colors of Bentley University in the American collegiate circuit.<\/p>\n

Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Lions add Seth Bernard-Docker to bolster defense ahead of playoff push<\/p>\n

Management was clearly looking to strengthen its defensive group ahead of the final stretch of the season.<\/p>\n

The young defenseman will bring much-needed depth on the blue line, along with a strong physical presence on the ice.<\/p>\n

Adding size and character becomes essential as playoff hockey quickly approaches.<\/p>\n

Making room in the lineup for this specific player largely explains the difficult decision made earlier today.<\/p>\n

The young man will now take his very first steps into the world of North American professional hockey.<\/p>\n

The Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Lions announce the signing of Seth Bernard-Docker.<\/p>\n

The defenseman has played over the course of the last four seasons in the NCAA with Bentley University. He will bring depth to the defensive line as well as robustness in view of the final stretch of the season!<\/p>\n

Jacob Bernard-Docker, 25, is an NHL defenseman and a first-round pick of the Ottawa Senators in 2018. He has recorded 5 points in 59 games this season, with a +4 rating.<\/p>\n

Seth Bernard-Docker, 24, recorded 13 points in 57 games over four NCAA seasons with Bentley University, contributing steady two-way production from the blue line.<\/p>\n
