There’s a great culture permeating the Montreal Canadiens, where players and staff seem to have a lot of fun together and bonds are forged. Nick Suzuki is the perfect captain for this culture. He sets a good example every day, and the others follow suit. Suzuki likes to take advantage of the summer months in Montreal by going to places like the Lasso Festival (which took place over the past two days). Several Habs players were there this weekend, and even Martin St-Louis was spotted singing in the crowd. In short, many of the club’s players stay in Montreal during the summer, and by necessity, they immerse themselves in the Montreal culture. Stu Cowan discussed this on The Sick Podcast with Matthew Ohayon.

“The Habs players are not just club members, they’re becoming Montrealers too” – Stu Cowan

It’s totally true what he said. There’s no better way to become a Montrealer than by living in the Québécois metropolis and spending your free time there, enjoying various events. The Habs players know that their fans are very intense and passionate, but this is reflected in every type of show in and around Montreal. Montreal crowds are always one of the best in terms of entertainment, whether it’s sports, music or anything else – just think of the fans who come to watch the players practice at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard every chance they get.

Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov clearly enjoy staying in Montreal and seeing fans watch them practice in the middle of summer. It’s encouraging to see this fan support and to see them react when one of them decides to pull a rabbit out of their hat with a little lace, for example. The chemistry and culture are good in Montreal and it’s not about to go away.

– Unbelievable.

– What a beautiful gesture from Jelly Roll. He celebrated the 1300 days of sobriety of a fan in the crowd with him and started a song in his name to congratulate him.
