Carey Price is set to experience a heartfelt moment at the Bell Centre, where he will absorb the admiration from the city that has been his home throughout his illustrious NHL journey.
On Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens revealed that Price will make his return to the Bell Centre on November 10 to honor his induction into the Hall of Fame, which is scheduled for the day before.
With this achievement, Price will become the 62nd individual from the franchise to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Following this, he will be included in the Bell Centre’s Ring of Honour, a tribute for former players who have reached the heights of hockey greatness.
The goaltender dedicated his entire 15-year career to the Montreal team.
Over the course of 712 games, he recorded a goals-against average of 2.51 and a save percentage of .917, holding the franchise records for both the most games played and the most victories as a goaltender.
Price will receive this honor during a match against the Minnesota Wild.
Additionally, he is recognized as a seven-time all-star and was selected fifth overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
The Canadiens will commence their pre-season on September 19, with the regular season starting on September 29 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
