Montreal’s vibrant summer energy is about to get even more exciting for hockey fans. As the city shakes off the last traces of winter and welcomes the warm months ahead, a familiar face from the Montreal Canadiens roster is choosing to make the city his home for the offseason. This decision is quickly becoming a heartwarming trend among the team’s stars, creating a deeper bond between players and the community that cheers them on.

It’s not just about training or preparing for another demanding NHL season—there’s a growing sense that Montreal has become more than just a place to play hockey. For some, it’s turning into a true home, filled with opportunities to explore, connect, and experience all that the city has to offer. The presence of these athletes throughout the summer is a testament to the unique charm and appeal of Montreal, both on and off the ice.

As fans look forward to spotting their favorite players enjoying local events, restaurants, and landmarks, one thing is clear: the relationship between the Canadiens and their city is stronger than ever, and this offseason promises to bring even more unforgettable moments for everyone involved.

We’ve just learned some exciting news about Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine.

For those who may still have doubts about Laine’s love for Montreal, here’s yet another piece of evidence.

Just like Nick Suzuki last summer, and just like Ivan Demidov..

It’s a growing trend among Canadiens players, and obviously a great one.

It’s great because it shows players genuinely love the city, it’s great because it helps with their offseason prep (they have access to Canadiens facilities and staff), and it’s great for many other reasons.

Patrik Laine will spend the summer in Montreal.

“Canadiens fans, don’t be surprised if you bump into Patrik Laine on the streets of Montreal this summer, as he’s decided to remain in the Quebec metropolis during the offseason with his fiancée Jordan Leigh.”

“I love it here,” Laine told the Journal right away.

We love it!
