by Hugo Fontaine @CanadiensMTL / canadiens.com
Despite engaging in some heated battles on the ice, opposing NHL players often forge enduring friendships away from the rink. We thought it might be interesting, then, to do some reconnaissance in the visitors' dressing room to get an occasional take on a Canadiens player from a friendly foe on another club. Today: Hurricanes forward Teuvo Teravainen on fellow countryman, Artturi Lehkonen.

by Hugo Fontaine, translated by Dan Braverman @CanadiensMTL / canadiens.com
Since getting his start in professional mixed martial arts in front of approximately 300 people, Olivier Aubin-Mercier has never let up in his drive to keep climbing the ladder, which is why he joined Ultimate Fighting Championship less than three years later. Now 28 years old, the Quebec fighter continues his ascension up the UFC ranks, in addition to occasionally helping his mentor, Georges St-Pierre, in his pre-fight training. On the occasion of his appearance as a guest commentator at the 1909 Taverne Moderne restaurant for UFC 217, we sat down with Aubin-Mercier to get his thoughts on Saturday's event, as well as on his friendship with a young Canadiens hopeful.

To coincide with the release of the second season of Stranger Things, we caught up with the 13-year-old young man during one of his visits to the Bell Centre to learn a bit more about his passion for the Habs.
