Carey Price is set to receive a special tribute at the Bell Centre, experiencing the affection of the city where he spent his entire remarkable NHL career.
On Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens revealed that Price will return to the Bell Centre on November 10 to commemorate his induction into the Hall of Fame, which will occur the day before.
With this induction, Price will become the 62nd individual from the organization to enter the Hall of Fame. He will also be honored with a place in the Bell Centre’s Ring of Honour, designated for former players who have reached hockey’s elite status.
The goaltender dedicated his complete 15-year career to the Montreal team.
Throughout his 712 games, he achieved a 251 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage, holding the franchise records for both games played and wins by a goaltender.
Price will be celebrated during a match against the Minnesota Wild.
He was also selected as an all-star seven times and was the fifth overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
The Canadiens will begin their pre-season on September 19, with the regular season starting on September 29 in Toronto against the Maple Leafs.
