Confirmed with Link: Montreal Canadiens partnership with Montreal Stars

[Scripter]

Not sure if it was posted but I thought this deserved it's own thread. For those not interested in clicking the link, it's pretty much a partnership that gives the Montreal Stars an opportunity to promote women's hockey.

Personally, I'm pretty stoked with the news. I think it's a great initiative on behalf of the Montreal Canadians to promote women's hockey but also promote hockey in general. Over the past years, I've seen a lots of involvement in the community on behalf of Montreal Canadiens. Are other teams this active in their community?

This is a great move, like you said, on two fronts - promotes women's hockey, and continues to build a connection between the Habs and Montreal, in particular the world of Montreal hockey beyond the NHL.

This is fantastic news! I bet you attendance will be better than the Arizona Coyotes! Probably better TV ratings too!

You think they will rename them? I was thinking Les Canadiennes de Montreal would be a much better name.

should - they can keep their old uniforms to distinguish or spell out Canadiennes. would be much better than Stars.

Had to Google who the hell the Montreal Stars were.

I've never heard of that team/league before today, I guess it's good news!

Meant to post this yesterday when I saw it on the Habs site. Good story and I can only hope it silences the critics a little that are saying the NHL is not doing enough for the women's league/hockey. It's a small start but I think it is a good one. Hope it works for both sides and that it can bring the Stars a ton of help.
