Shooting stars : Karl Tremblay honoured before Bell Centre game

Karl Tremblay, lead singer of the Cowboys fringants, was honored before tonight’s Canadiens game under the theme of shooting stars.

The man who died yesterday of prostate cancer (the month dedicated to the subject) has been the subject of many tributes over the past few hours in the four corners of the French-speaking world.

And deservedly so. After all, he left his mark on several generations.

– Well, well… Maybe because Nova Scotia knows it can’t have an NHL club?

The Pittsburgh Penguins spent four days in Halifax this fall for a preseason game against the Senators. Unlike the Quebec government with the Kings, the Nova Scotia government provided no financial assistance. https://t.co/7eiGEA4uFY

Canada hasn’t won in Jamaica in 35 years…

Ok.

Canada last played in Jamaica on October 11, 2021 and the final result?

A 0-0 draw.

Before that?

A 1-0 defeat on January 31… 2009.
