Biography
| Rivet is the longest serving member of the Canadiens organization. He is a strong presence in his own end, but has limited offensive abilities. Despite his size, he is not the most dominating presence physically, but he’ll drop the gloves and will go to battle for his teammates. The pressure is on him to live up to a 4 year, $12 M contract signed in the off season of 2003. |
