Canadiens announce pregame activities and open practices in Quebec City

MONTREAL – The Canadiens will say “Bonjour Québec” this week when training camp shifts to the Capitale-Nationale region.

The Habs take on the Ottawa Senators at a sold-out Centre Vidéotron on Tuesday, and will remain in the Quebec City area until Friday to hold a pair of open practices for fans.

Here’s the team’s schedule for the week:

PREGAME FESTIVITIES

Fans coming to the game against Ottawa are encouraged to arrive early to take part in Canadiens activations from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at L’Allée Commémorative in Place Jean Béliveau.

Fans without tickets could also win their way inside Centre Vidéotron—or other Habs prizes—by stopping by.

Here’s what to expect on site:

• 360 photo booth

• Former Canadiens players David Savard and Pierre Dagenais

• Canadiens mascot Youppi!

• Spin-to-win lucky wheel

• Live DJ

OPEN PRACTICES

Following Tuesday’s game against the Senators, the Canadiens will practice twice at Centre Vidéotron on Thursday and Friday.

Both practices will be open to the public, with doors to the arena set to open at 9:30 a.m., while the on-ice sessions are scheduled to take place from 10:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Fans attending the open practices can access the arena via the east and west main entrances in Place Jean Béliveau.
