Since he took his step away from the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis and the team have been quiet about the reason why. David Savard revealed during an interview that the reason had to do with his son, however, it was not clear exactly why Martin St-Louis had to take a step back.
Now, we know that he has left the Montreal Canadiens in order to be with his son, Mason St-Louis, after a scary incident during a game with the Mid-Fairfield hockey team.
We wish the best for the entire St-Louis family, and he knows that the hockey world is supporting him during this time.
