Two-year, entry-level contract for Luke Tuch

MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes announced Tuesday that the team has agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with forward Luke Tuch (2024-25 to 2025-26). Tuch also signed a one-way contract with the Laval Rocket, allowing him to finish the current season in the AHL.

The 6-foot-2, 209-pound forward scored 10 goals and added 20 assists in 39 games with the Boston University Terriers this season in the NCAA. Tuch reached the 2024 Frozen Four with the Terriers in April before bowing out to the University of Denver in the semifinals.

Last season, Tuch and Boston University won the Hockey East Division title. This year they lost the championship game against Boston College.

A native of Syracuse, New York, Tuch was selected by the Canadiens in the second round (47th overall) of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.
