Harris recently took part in an on-ice practice with an all-girls team who are part of Hockey 4 Youth, an initiative that fosters social inclusion for new Canadian youth in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Hamilton through free hockey experiences and life skills programs.

The Massachusetts-born blueliner was joined by former NHLer Laraque, who played 695 big-league games, including 61 with the Canadiens.

“Hockey 4 Youth is a great example of who I want to be working with,” said Harris, a third-round pick of Montreal in 2018. “They are committed to helping young kids who might not have the opportunity to play the game get that chance.”

Keeping up with some of the players kept Harris, who also took part in a video call with staff members from Hockey 4 Youth, on his toes.

“There were some very good skaters out there they were flying. The whole day was a blast.”
