Bell Centre Habs capacity

No fans allowed at the Bell Centre tonight for Habs game against Flyers

The Bell Centre will return to partial capacity in January.

The Montreal Canadiens have announced that no fans will be allowed at tonight’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Bell Centre, as recommended by Quebec public health in light of rising pandemic numbers and the Omicron variant.

The Bell Centre will return to partial capacity in January and an update will be provided tomorrow regarding Saturday’s game against the Boston Bruins.

The Montreal Canadiens took the opportunity to encourage Quebecers to get vaccinated and be responsible with their gatherings over the holidays.

“In the interim we would continue to encourage everyone to get vaccinated, get their booster shots when possible, and be responsible with their social and family gatherings throughout the holidays. We hope that with rigor and a collective effort from all of us, we will be able to come together in the near future in 2022.”
