Rafaël Harvey-Pinard shared his thoughts on the subject, offering an inside look at the Montreal Canadiens’ leader.
His comments highlight the quiet leadership qualities of the Canadiens’ No. 14.
According to Harvey-Pinard, Nick Suzuki displays several strong qualities that put him in the same conversation as great leaders such as Patrice Bergeron, Sidney Crosby, and Jonathan Toews.
Suzuki isn’t the type to yell in the locker room or throw sticks around to get his message across. He leads by example every day, whether it’s during practice or in games.
Nick Suzuki leads the Canadiens by example and speaks when it counts
Suzuki picks the right moments to speak.
Harvey-Pinard pointed to one specific quality that stands out about his former captain.
Nick Suzuki doesn’t talk much, but when he does, he never speaks without a reason.
That’s exactly what gives his words so much weight.
When he speaks, everyone listens.
“He’s not necessarily going to yell at other guys, but he’s someone who picks his moments to stand up and speak in the locker room.”
– Harvey-Pinard
That quality comes through in the biggest moments.
Here’s a clear example from when he wore a microphone during the series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
A captain who leads by example through his work ethic. We love to see it.
