Born in Moncton, New Brunswick, netminder Roland Melanson was the Islanders’ third-round pick and the 59th overall selection at the 1979 NHL Entry Draft. In 1980-81 he won the Stanley Cup with the Islanders, and two seasons later was named to the NHL’s second All-Star team, also sharing the William-M.-Jenning Trophy with Billy Smith. Melanson went on to play with Minnesota, Los Angeles and New Jersey. He finished his NHL career with the Canadiens when the Devils traded him, along with Kirk Muller for Stéphane Richer and Tom Chorske on Sept. 20, 1991. Melanson played nine games with the Habs in the 1991-92 season during which he posted a record of 5-3 while registering two shutouts. He was the Canadiens goaltending coach from 1997-2009.
