Shea Weber, in 2018 named the 30th captain in Canadiens history, is the most recent of the portraits in Bell Centre's Alumni Lounge. He's the bottom color painting, beside the 1924-25 globe-crest "World Championship" photo of Howie Morenz taken following the team's first NHL Stanley Cup victory.
The Nashville Predators captain would join the Canadiens on June 29, 2016, traded for defenseman P.K. Subban, who on June 22, 2019 was traded by Nashville to the New Jersey Devils.
Weber, a 34-year-old from of Sicamous, British Columbia, was named the 30th captain of the Canadiens on Oct. 1, 2018, and today his portrait hangs in the captains gallery of the team's Bell Centre Alumni Lounge.
Through 50 games this season, Weber is fourth on the team in scoring with 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) and is averaging a team-leading 24:19 ice time per game.
As the Canadiens' lone representative in the 2020 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend, Weber will fly on Thursday to St. Louis with his wife, Bailey, their children ages 5, 4 and 1 and a half, his equipment bag and a half-dozen of the Bauer sticks that have been his twig of choice since 2013.
Not that they'd be of much use to anyone else, the flex of just over 120 among the stiffest in use today. And they'll be plucked from his regular stock; where some players switch sticks depending on the situation, Weber relies simply on what he likes.
"I'll just bring extras in case guys ask for one or I give one to a kid," he said.
