Rafaël Harvey-Pinard has still not played a match this year with the big club, he who has been with the Laval Rocket since November 20. He was out for a long time due to a broken leg he suffered during the last summer season.
Initially, he found himself with the Laval Rocket for conditioning purposes, but, once this sequence concluded, he was placed on waivers, without being claimed, in order to remain with the school club.
It took a while before he puts on the move, since a return following such a serious injury can be very difficult. It can also affect confidence, which becomes doubly difficult for an athlete who is proud and wants to be at the top.
In this regard, as Dave Lévesque mentioned on the TVA Sports platform, RHP wishes to receive the call that will bring him back to the CH. However, that’s not all that’s running through his head.
“Of course you think about it, all the players here want to be recalled. Having played in Montreal last year, my goal is to be recalled, but at the same time, the challenge is to stay in the present moment and take things one game at a time. – RHP
As previously stated, RHP had a rather difficult comeback, but for some time now he has started producing offensively again. In the last four games, he has accumulated a total of three points, which brings his record to six points in 15 games.
“It’s starting to get better, especially in terms of skating. I would say that the first eight games were more difficult. But I watch the videos from the beginning and now and it’s positive.” – RHP
Brief. Let’s be frank for a moment. As much as I love the former captain of my Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, he has no place with Sainte-Flanelle at the time of composing these few words. Could he actually offer recitals, like Jake Evans, Joel Armia and Emil Heineman do? The answer is no… unfortunately.
And when an injury arises, I’m not sure that it will be Rafael Harvey-Pinard who will be recalled…
