The Ukraine Selects peewee team will be special guests at the Montreal Canadiens’ game against the Chicago Blackhawks Tuesday night at the Bell Centre
on Monday to extend their three-week stay in Quebec City and move on in the tournament. Shortly after, the players got word that they would be travelling to Montreal and be special guests at the Habs’ game against the Chicago Blackhawks Tuesday night at the Bell Centre.
Following morning skate, Montreal coach Martin St. Louis told reporters that his father “missed the Canadiens game to go see the Ukraine Selects” for their 3-1 win over the Boston Junior Bruins last Saturday. St. Louis also had the opportunity to chat with Ukraine Selects coaches who shared their experience and progress in the tournament.
“I know they’re being welcomed by not only Quebec City, but by all hockey fans in Quebec. It’s a great human gesture that we’re able to do for them. I’m really glad to have met them today and to give them a moment where they can forget about the difficult circumstances that they’ve lived through in their country.”
“We’re able to sleep without worry and over there you don’t know if a bomb will fall close by so it’s tough to walk in their shoes,” said Habs forward Alex Belzile. “We were happy to see them. The guys waved at them, threw them a few pucks, everything to make them smile. Plus, they’re kids so I think it’s good for them to clear their heads and put smiles on their faces.”
