Career

In 2020 Logan Mailloux played 4 games for London Knights, but did not score any points.

In the 2020–21 season he played as a loan player for SK Lejon in the Swedish Hockeyettan. He had 15 points in 19 games.

In 2021 he was drafted 31st overall by the Montreal Canadiens.[1][2] On July 28, the Canadiens announced that Mailloux would not be invited to participate in the team's rookie or main training camp, and that they would "reassess" whether or not he was ready to join the organization later in the year.[3]

On September 2, 2021, it was announced that Mailloux has been suspended indefinitely by the OHL. He will have the opportunity to apply for reinstatement after January 1, 2022.[4]

Personal life

In 2020, Mailloux received a 14,300 SEK fine (approximately $1,640.00 USD or $2,000.00 CAD, at the time) for sharing a non-consensual intimate image of a young woman he took while the two were engaging in a sexual act.[5] Prior to the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Mailloux renounced himself from the draft, stating that he did not want to be drafted, and wanted to focus on his reconciliation and growth; despite this, the Montreal Canadiens selected Mailloux with their first-round selection.[6]
