On the Habs board someone asked a question regarding if the AHL players can just come up to the Bell Center and watch the game? Would they be allowed in like any other staff members? Would they have to go up to the press box or something?
In the same vein someone asked if they can hang around the locker room and maybe practice with the NHL squad?
It's a legit question since a lot of NHL teams have their AHL squad in the same town now. For exemple Laval is only a short taxi ride from the Bell Center. What's stopping Michael McCarron to hang out at the Bell Center on game day? Rules against that or something?
This is a non-issue if your AHL team is far away, but same town? There must be rules outlining the process here. I mean, Michael McCarron cannot just show up to a Habs practice without first being called up, or could he in theory?
