Montreal Canadiens’ iconic goaltender, Carey Price, is set to bask in the admiration of fans at the Bell Centre as he celebrates his upcoming induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Canadiens recently announced that Price will grace the Bell Centre on November 10 to mark his Hall of Fame induction, scheduled for the previous day.
Price, who has dedicated his entire illustrious 15-year NHL career to Montreal, will join the elite ranks as the 62nd member of the organization to enter the Hall of Fame. Subsequently, he will be immortalized in the Bell Centre’s Ring of Honour, a prestigious tribute reserved for former players who have ascended to legendary status in the hockey world.
Having played 712 games, Price boasts an impressive 2.51 goals-against average and a stellar .917 save percentage, solidifying his place as the Canadiens’ all-time leader in games played and victories as a goaltender.
The commemoration of Price’s achievements will take place during a game against the Minnesota Wild.
Price, a seven-time NHL All-Star, was selected as the fifth overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
The Canadiens will commence their pre-season activities on September 19, with the regular season opening game slated for September 29 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
