Hockey is more than just a game in Montreal; it’s a window to Quebec culture whether you’re a hockey fan or not
In today’s episode, award-winning contributing producer Scott Gurian takes us to Montreal, QC., a city often split between languages and cultures, yet passionately united behind their love of the iconic hockey team, the Montreal Canadiens. But as Scott reveals, Montreal is far more than just another hockey-crazy town. To “Habs” fans province-wide, hockey embodies the spirit of Quebecois people, their history and culture.
Listen in as Scott tells us why.
Special thanks to James Gray for our theme song music.
