Little did we know in March 2015, it would be the start of something very special we were filled with much anticipation & excitement to be part of an organization that was filled with such history, richness, pride, passion that we had only been told aboutbut really had no clue about the city!
I will never forget my first game at the Bell Center. Everyone talks a big talk about it, but they are right! It's something special. Something I'll never forget. Something I'll never take for granted. The lights are different, the energy is different, the sound is different, the air is different... It's really indescribable until you feel it for yourself.
After that short taste of what Montreal had to offer, choosing to stay a member of this storied hockey club was something we felt strongly about. Over the next 7 years, we grew our family & continued to grow our love for Montréal! We embraced the heartbeat of the city & made it our home away from home.
Everything from playoff runs, to team parties, to some of the most incredible meals I will ever have in my life, to strolling the areas of Westmount & old port like they were our backyard, to making lifelong friendships & connections, will never be lost on us.
I can't wait to bring the boys back for visits to show them where we lived, to see & hug the people who were such integral parts of their young lives, to go to a game at the bell center where we spent many of late nights & ate too many chien-chauds, to go eat at all of our favorite restaurants, to visit their schools which we so adored, to walk Mount Royal for the um-teenth thousandth time. To do all the things we loved to do in the beautiful city we got to call home for a chapter of our lives.
It's a bittersweet goodbye for our family. We will go out with gratitude & love for the time we had. We will cherish the excitement, the opportunities, and the personal connections we got to foster during our time in MTL. And a piece of our hearts will always remain in this city & with the @canadiensmtl.
Thank you for taking in our family & making our time even more special than we ever could have imagined. Merci merci merci! 🙏🏼💙🤍♥️
