Early years As a youth, Struble played in the 2014 iteration of the
Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a
minor ice hockey team from
Long Island,
New York.
Collegiate After a successful high school hockey career at
St. Sebastian's School, Struble played
collegiately with the
Boston-based
Northeastern Huskies of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for four years beginning in the
2019–20 NCAA season. While with the program, he played on the second
power play unit and was used in all
on-ice situations.
Professional Selected by the
Montreal Canadiens in the second round (46th overall) of the
2019 NHL entry draft, Struble signed a two-year entry-level contract with the team following his
senior year with Northeastern on March 15, 2023. Struble was assessed a three-game suspension by league officials for
leaving the bench during a game versus the
Manitoba Moose on November 12, 2023. A week later, he was recalled by Montreal after injuries to defenseman
Arber Xhekaj and forward
Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, Struble recorded his first NHL point, an assist, in his second career game on November 24 versus the
San Jose Sharks, whereas his first NHL goal came on December 9 against
Devon Levi in a 3–2
shootout win over the
Buffalo Sabres. After the Canadiens failed to qualify for the
2024 Stanley Cup playoffs, he was one of four players reassigned to Laval to end the season. Collectively, Struble finished his rookie NHL campaign with three goals and seven assists across 56 games played. Spending the majority of the
2024–25 season with Montreal, Struble was reassigned to the Rocket on January 24, 2025 for
conditioning purposes. Days later, he was recalled by the Canadiens on January 29. On March 25, 2025, Struble skated in his 100th career NHL game on the road versus the
St. Louis Blues. Entering the offseason as a
restricted free agent, Struble was extended a qualifying offer by the Canadiens on June 30, 2025. Thereafter, he elected for
salary arbitration on July 5, and ultimately agreed to a two-year contract extension with the team on July 28. ==Personal life==
