A message from Shea Weber

It’s the dream of every kid who grew up playing hockey in Canada to play in the NHL. I consider myself extremely lucky to not only have achieved this dream, but also to have had the chance to do so for a Canadian team and as a member of one of the original six teams.

Never, even in my wildest dreams, could I have imagined playing for the Montreal Canadiens, let alone being named captain of this team. Donning this legendary jersey every night has been one of the greatest honors of my career, and it’s something I cherish every chance I get.

I would like to thank my teammates, the coaches, management, the entire organization, Geoff Molson and the Molson family, the Montreal media and, above all, the fans who welcomed me and my family and who made this town a second home.

Montreal will always have a place in my heart.

Thank you for everything.

Shea Weber
