fourtrax Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 This guy has seemingly faced adversity in his quest to play in the NHL. I wish him all the best and hope he has a strong training camp this September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I am just curious! Do people expect him to play in the ECHL or the AHL this season? It would be nice to get a closer look at Gui's brother in his attempt to make the NHL. It seems like there are a lot of players competing for positions in Hamilton this season. Is there any room for Olivier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee_mtl Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Olivier Latendress wants to imitate the Kostityns Wow he's pretty fast D: (And I'm laughing at Gui!'s hair) Says he knows he won't make the NHL just 'cause he's Gui's brother and would like to play with him but wants to be recognized for his own hard work and effort and hopes to get a spot in Hamilton.

dannielle Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Oli is a phenomenal player. He's great to watch... a hell of a playmaker. I'm eager to see what (if anything) he can do at the AHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utreder Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Gui seems to have permanent bedhead. I hope Olivier sees a lot of time in Hamilton, boy does he look quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 In the last 5 games Olivier has tallied 4 goals and 6 assists. He leads the ECHL with 17 goals and is second in the ECHL with 27 points in 20 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauro-Biello Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Little Lats netted a hat trick (along with an assist) in a 7-3 victory over Reading last night. He's actually big Lats, but plays in small league. EDIT: oh right little in terms of height... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemsky83_09 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Montreal Canadiens General Manager Bob Gainey announced today that forward Olivier Latendresse has been reassigned from the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL to the Hamilton Bulldogs. Latendresse, a 22-year-old native of LaSalle, Quebec has played in 23 games for the Cyclones and currently leads the team and is second in the ECHL in points with 33 (18 goals, 15 assists). In 2007-2008, the older brother of Canadiens forward Guillaume Latendresse, split the season between the San Antonio Rampage, the Cyclones and the Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League. The 5-foot-9, 190-pound centre accumulated three points (one goal, two assists) in seven games with the Rampage and 52 points (22 goals, 30 assists) in 37 games with the Sundogs before coming to Cincinnati and posting 35 points (seven goals, 28 assists) in 24 games. Latendresse also won a Kelly Cup with the Cyclones last season as he registered 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in all 22 post-season games with the club. The Hamilton Bulldogs host the Peoria Rivermen for a 7:30 p.m. match-up on Thursday, December 11th at Copps Coliseum before traveling to Ricoh Coliseum to battle their North Division archrival the Toronto Marlies at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 14th. Fans can listen to every 'Dogs game on the flagship station of the Hamilton Bulldogs Hockey Network, TALK 820. Fans can also listen or watch at www.hamiltonbulldogs.com by clicking on the 'AHL Live' or 'TALK 820' icons on the Bulldogs website.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 With 16 points in the last 8 games I was wondering when he would get called up to Hamilton. He probably got called up because both Chipchura (groin) and Aubin (ankle) are out with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utreder Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Olivier Latendresse has 9 points (1-8-9) in 12 games since being called up to Hamilton, his old team mate David Desharnais has 27 points (11-16-27) in 37 games after spending a significant amount of time on the team's third line. Any chance these guys ever see time in the NHL with any team? Montreal must have seen something in Desharnais to extend his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance these guys ever see time in the NHL with any team? Montreal must have seen something in Desharnais to extend his contract. I believe Olivier was quite an offensive talent before he was lost in Phoenixes farm system, and given time to restore his confidence and play in our system he will be productive at every level. Desharnais will make it on desire alone, the talent won't hold him back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Michael Ryder can go from riding the buses and yo-yo-ing between the AHL and the ECHL, to becoming a 30 goalscorer at the NHL level, anything is possible...Whether it will happen or not depends on the work ethic, determination of the players and capitalizing on available opportunities.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ryder was fortunate enough to have played for Claude Julien in Hamilton. I believe Julien convinced people to call Ryder up from Hamilton. So ultimately it will depend on the Habs brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsprite18 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Good parallel 1970 - he is playing well enough for a look IMO - it would be neat to have another set of brothers on the team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romy22 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have been very impressed with Latendresse lately. He's not as big as Gui, but I think he takes the body a bit better then younger Lats. And, sawnsee...we could trade for Mikko Koivu while we're at it...3 sets of brothers would have to be a record for one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would REALLY be something !!!!!!!| Apart from the Suters this team has something about brothers. The Richards (don't forget Claude too!), The Mahovlichs, The Kostitsyns....

Johnny_rudeboy Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Gone for the season "Latendresse dislocated his shoulder twice in the game against Chicago and surgery will put him on the shelf for the remainder of the campaign as well." http://www.thespec.com/article/506929 The dislocation happened 23 January. He had season ending shoulder surgery to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
