MONTREAL, QC â Few phrases in Montreal Canadiens lore provoke more emotion or revive more memories than âThe Forumâ. Once called âthe most storied building in hockey historyâ by Sporting News, the arena was home to nearly 18,000 Habs fans between 1924-1996.
Today that iconic structure on Cabot Square no longer echoes with the sounds of skates, sticks, pucks, and cheers amid Stanley Cup-winning excitement. However, Habs fans have found new ways to keep making their voices heard.
With this in mind, Rocket Sports Media is proud to bring you a new video column, Habs Fan Forum. The weekly video series is hosted by contributor Ben Dankiw. Each week heâll take you on a journey to recap the highs and lows of the Habs from a fanâs perspective. So buckle up, itâs always a wild ride!
