Everyone knows that in Montreal, the Canadiens are at the center of everything. Everyone talks about them, thousands of fans go to the Bell Centre to watch them play and most of all, everyone seems to live and die by what they do.
One person who understands this better than most is a Habs blogger for HockeyBuzz.com and a radio broadcaster for Team 990 - Eric Engels. Eric was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to tell us about how he got into the game, how he got into writing about the team and the game, how he got into broadcasting and his current thoughts on the Canadiens.
PH: How did you get into hockey?
EE: In 1986, the Canadiens were riding rookie Patrick Roy, with the hope of getting the team and its fanbase back in touch with its winning culture. I was three years old at the time, but my first memories of hockey involved the Habs winning the Stanley Cup. I started playing the following year, and in case it wasn’t obvious, the sport has become a deep passion of mine.
