When the Canadian plays in Montreal, he trains in the morning at the Bell Center and not at the Training Complex in Brossard.
It’s the same thing for the majority of NHL teams. When a club plays at home, it normally practices the same morning on the ice of its amphitheater.
But it wasn’t always like that at the CH. In fact, it hasn’t changed in a long time…
Anthony Martineau met Brett Kulak ahead of tonight’s game and the latter told him that at the time, players were wondering when they were going to start practicing at the Bell Center on the morning of a game.
At that time, practices still took place in Brossard even if CH played the same evening… And Kulak explained why that was the case.
The reason is simple, moreover. Her name is Carey Price:
I told them that as long as Carey (Price) was going to be there, they had better be patient! He had the power… – Anthony Martineau
What you need to know is that Carey Price lived not far from the Training Complex in Brossard.
He therefore preferred that training sessions be close to home… That way, he would be able to be home more quickly for the evening match.
But after seeing Kulak call out his former teammate (in a friendly way), it makes you realize that Price’s voice was important within the team and especially within the organization.
He was the club’s superstar for several years, he was the one who received the big salary… And the Canadiens’ managers wanted to ensure that he was happy and satisfied in Montreal.
This is normal and we often see this elsewhere in sport. Organizations do everything possible to make their star players comfortable, because that can lead to concrete results.
When athletes are happy, they are even more motivated… #SpecialTreatment
