MONTREAL – The Montreal Canadiens welcomed Carey Price back to the Bell Centre with a memorable, spine-tingling ovation Tuesday night.
Canadiens fans cheered for close to four minutes, wildly serenading their longtime star goaltender with a blend of “Ca-rey! Ca-rey!” and “Olé, Olé” chants ahead of puck drop against the Minnesota Wild.
Price, meanwhile, stood beside the team benches, next to the five individual trophies he won over his illustrious career, as he attempted to get a word in.
Following team tradition, the Canadiens added Price to their ring of honour after his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday in Toronto.
Price, 39, became the 62nd member of the Canadiens organization to enter the Hall of Fame, capping a remarkable journey that began in the remote community of Anahim Lake, B.C.
Growing up, Price’s father, Jerry, flew his son in a four-seat plane 320 kilometres from their hometown to Williams Lake, B.C., three times a week so he could play minor hockey.
Price went on to spend his entire 15-year NHL career in Montreal after the Canadiens selected him fifth overall in the 2005 draft, becoming the franchise’s all-time leader with 361 wins.
He finished with a .917 save percentage, a 2.51 goals-against average and 49 shutouts in 712 regular-season games.
