WATCH: Montreal Canadiens showcase pets & build gingerbread houses

by Lorraine Carpenter

The Habs made their traditional children’s hospital visits virtually this year.

This afternoon, the Montreal Canadiens shared a video compilation of their virtual visit with hospitalized kids, a traditional Habs activity usually conducted in-person around this time of year.

The video below features Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, Jonathan Drouin, Jake Allen, Brett Kulak, Jake Evans, Tyler Toffoli, David Savard, Cédric Paquette, Josh Anderson, Christian Dvorak, Sami Niku, Mathieu Perreault, Sam Montambeault, Ryan Poehling and Artturi Lehkonen, among others. Aside from showcasing their pets and building gingerbread houses, the players discussed their favourite Christmas movies and their favourite songs and musical artists. (Looks like Nick Suzuki and Carey Price — who is not in the video — have something in common: questionable taste in music.)

The annual hospital visits are associated with the organization’s philanthropic efforts, particularly the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation. For more, please visit the MCCF website.
