Martin St. Louis has recently made his return to the Montreal Canadiens, and he's done so with an incredibly emotional statement.

It was a tragic incident that took Martin St. Louis away from the Montreal Canadiens, but with the support of the organization, he got through that and is now returning to the team.

On Tuesday, St. Louis will be behind the bench when the team takes on the Colorado Avalanche, and has returned with an emotional statement for the hockey community as a whole.

"The past 10 days reminded me why I fell in love with hockey. It's not just the sport on the ice, it's everything that it brings. It's a community. The support that I received, across the league, from my team, my players, it's something you can't buy. It's special.» - Coach Marty

It was a very emotional time for the young Head Coach, and it's clear that he appreciates everyone that supported him while he was away from the team. Now, he will look to continue building this talented young team as they look to restore the reputation of the once feared Montreal Canadiens, but at the end of the day, it's simply great to see St. Louis back and in high spirits after what he and his family have gone through in the past few weeks.
