When the Canadiens hired new management in Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, they said that one of their plans going forward was to create an analytics department.

On Friday, the Canadiens announced that they've hired Christopher Boucher as their first-ever Director of Hockey Analytics.

"We are very happy to add Christopher Boucher to our team," said General Manager Kent Hughes. "Christopher is an industry-proven hockey analytics specialist. We recognize the importance of analytics in today's NHL and believe that Christopher is the right person to lead this department."

Prior to joining the Canadiens, Boucher spent two seasons with the San Jose Sharks as a professional scout and before that he worked for a sports analytics company called Sportlogiq.
