Rogers Hometown Hockey: Dollard-des-Ormeaux

Sunday, 02.01.2015 / 3:00 AM NHL.com

CITY in Canada will televise "Rogers Hometown Hockey" on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET prior to the game between the Arizona Coyotes and Montreal Canadiens. The location this week is Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec, and the half-hour program will celebrate the city's iconic hockey story. The show will also air on NHL Network in the U.S.

Among the features airing on the pregame show:

* Guy Lafleur and Sam Roberts will be joined by former NHL player P.J. Stock and his brother Dean, who hail from Dollard-des-Ormeaux. Dean was recently diagnosed with ALS and he and P.J. are looking to bring the fight against the disease back to the forefront in the search for a cure.

* Graham Rynbend is the head athletic therapist for the Montreal Canadiens and has been working with the team for almost two decades. His experience in dealing with some severe injuries over his career is one of the reasons Graham is so well-respected by his players and considered one of the best in the business.

* Vincent Lecavalier grew up playing on the outdoor rinks in Ile-Bizard, a West Island suburb of Montreal. Years later he realized the dream of many NHL stars, bringing the Stanley Cup home to share with his hometown.

* Jonathan Drouin won the MVP and Memorial Cup with the Halifax Mooseheads. But before Halifax, Drouin played for the Lac St-Louis Loins in the Quebec Amateur Athletic Association. Drouin, now a rookie with the Tampa Bay Lightning, reflects on his time in Dollard-des-Ormeaux and how it prepared him for the road to the NHL.
