Emond on Returning to QMJHL, What Nabokov Wants Him to Improve
Zachary Emond is returning to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies for his overage season.
“When I heard the news that the QMJHL would restart here, I talked with my agent and the Sharks,” the 2018 San Jose Sharks sixth-rounder said of last week’s news. “The right decision for me was to come back here and be able to play as soon as possible.”
San Jose Hockey Now caught up with the 20-year-old goaltender yesterday. Emond spoke on whether or not he’s staying in the QMJHL for the entire season, what he learned from new San Jose Sharks goaltending development coach Dany Sabourin in Rouyn-Noranda, what Evgeni Nabokov wants him to improve, and the sport he almost chose to play over hockey.
