EVENT FACTS

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE BELL CENTRE

Plenty of special features await fans in-arena at the sold-out event, including:

• No glass boards around the sides of the rink, allowing the crowd to feel closer than ever to the action. (Note that the glass behind the nets and players’ bench will remain up for crowd safety);
• Guest host Aly Brassard will entertain the crowd and get post-skill reactions from event winners;
• A post-event T-shirt toss by the players. Fans are encouraged to stay in their seats until the end of the event for a chance to catch a prize.

Canadiens players and special guests from the Montreal Victoire will be split into two teams to compete across five events.

Here is the order in which Team Red and Team White will go head-to-head, as well as last year’s winners in each category:
