The Montreal Canadiens have excited fans with the announcement of their upcoming event nights for the 2023-24 season. From giveaways to celebrations of Montreal's diverse communities, the Habs have curated a schedule that promises something for every fan. Let's dive into the highlights and details of these exciting events that will take place at the iconic Bell Centre.
The season kicks off on October 14 with the home opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. The anticipation surrounding the club's 114th season is palpable, and this matchup against an Original Six rival is sure to make it a hot ticket in town. The return of Habs hockey is always a memorable event, and this year's opener could provide a glimpse of the team's top draft pick, Connor Bedard, in action.
One unique offering is the Molson Concert Series, which will feature pregame performances by local favorites at Canadiens Plaza on four separate nights: October 26, November 16, March 28, and April 4.
The Canadiens are also committed to using hockey as a platform for positive change. On eight occasions throughout the season, they will host "Cause Nights" that highlight social causes in Montreal communities.
These nights include events like Military Appreciation Night, Hockey Fights Cancer Night, Pride Night, Hockey Talks Night, Hockey Celebration Night, Black History Night, RadioTeleDON Night, and Indigenous Celebration Night.
