Thanks to the support and generosity of all partners and fans, the Montreal Canadiens Children’s
Foundation has, since its creation, donated more than $15 million to some 450 organizations
working for the well-being of underprivileged children across Quebec. Over and above its support
of community groups, the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation is the driving force behind the

Carrying the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club banner comes with many important responsibilities.
board of directors
There is, of course, the sense of belonging. There is pride and there is honour. The Canadiens symbol is
associated with prestige and hope. It is respected and synonymous with trust and success. When you are
affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens, it means that you are part of a team that is dedicated to being the
best in professional hockey.
The mission statement of the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation proudly mirrors the spirit of the
Hockey Club. We mobilize the resources of this outstanding organization and work with the community to
offer a brighter future and good health to children in need. Our efforts are motivated by our firm desire to be
a leader in the field and to have a significant and longstanding impact on the lives of these young people. Our
actions serve to underline the commitment that we have collectively undertaken to positively contribute to
their health and well-being.
Since its inception in August 2000, the Foundation has donated more than $15 million to charitable
organizations supporting the well-being of some of the most vulnerable kids across the province of Quebec.
The Foundation’s number-one goal is to encourage children to embrace a healthier lifestyle through physical
activity and better eating habits.
Thanks to the introduction of our BLEU BLANC BOUGE program in 2009, we have been able to answer the
need for quality sports facilities in the city’s less privileged neighbourhoods. These multi-purpose outdoor ice
rinks have made it possible for a large number of children to enjoy a state-of-the-art facility while engaging in
healthy physical activity. Since 2009, we have introduced four of these rinks to the communities of St-Michel,
Montreal North, Verdun and LaSalle. This coming winter, a fifth BLEU BLANC BOUGE rink will be unveiled at
Confederation Park in the Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough. But the Foundation isn’t done
yet. We are already preparing to bring this program to areas outside Montreal. When not bringing ice rinks to
needy neighbourhoods, the Foundation is also busy supporting the efforts of hundreds of community groups
throughout the four corners of Quebec that work with youth and offer programs that embrace a healthy
lifestyle.
We are very proud to be working together with the community and sharing one important goal: the well-being
of underprivileged children. But we are not alone. We are supported by the generosity of exceptional partners,

community rinks
In 2008, the Foundation launched the BLEU BLANC BOUGE program – an initiative aimed at offering a unique and
permanent recreational place to meet the needs of less privileged communities. This program supports
efforts by local organizations and fits with the Foundation’s goal to work together with community
groups to assist youth and encourage a healthy, active lifestyle. At the top of the list are elementary
and secondary schools, which offer a host of supervised activities. Montreal borough committees also
work closely with the Foundation in offering their facilities to their citizens.

BLEU BLANC BOUGE in action
The BLEU BLANC BOUGE program consists of
building outdoor multi-purpose refrigerated ice
rinks for generations to come. These rinks make it
possible for a large number of children to enjoy a
state-of-the-art facility while engaging in healthy
physical activities. Built according to NHL standards,
the infrastructure provides the necessary versatility
for other sports to be played according to the time
of year. Predominantly used for ice hockey from
November to mid-March, the rinks become an
ideal playground for disciplines such as basketball,
soccer, ball hockey and other types of games during
the spring, summer and fall months.
The success of a project of this magnitude requires
the support and involvement of several partners and
collaborators:
Dedicated to encouraging a healthy physical
lifestyle among children, the Foundation has further
introduced its BLEU BLANC BOUGE in action
program for kids who live in the neighbourhoods
where the rinks are located. The Foundation provides
leadership for this initiative, which gives elementary
school children a chance to embrace ice skating
activities in a supervised framework that fosters a
healthy lifestyle, socialization and teamwork – all
offered in a safe environment.
The success of the BLEU BLANC BOUGE program
comes from the dedication and drive of community
organizers at various levels – business people, local
community groups, schools, volunteers, companies
and the City of Montreal’s borough divisions
involved in the program. The Montreal Canadiens
Children’s Foundation is proud to team up with all
of these players to offer a truly unique program
that contributes to the quality of life and health of
thousands of children.
BLEU BLANC BOUGE’s fourth rink was inaugurated
in January 2011 at Hayward Park in the Montreal
borough of LaSalle. The event featured numerous
dignitaries, members of the Canadiens organization
and many children from the neighbourhood.
Construction of the fifth BLEU BLANC BOUGE rink
is currently under way at Confederation Park in
the city’s Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce
borough. Neighbourhood youth and citizens will be
able to hit the ice of their new outdoor rink as early
as next winter.

Participants are first- and second-grade school
children. Last season, hockey clinics were held for
120 students from Saint-Bernardin (St-Michel),
Jules-Verne (Montreal North) and Levy-Sauvé
(Verdun) schools. Endorsed by Hockey Canada
and Hockey Québec, the Foundation works with
experienced coaches for a period of six weeks,
teaching kids about the basics of hockey and skating,
all of it done in a constructive and fun environment.
All rinks are well equipped, with helmets and hockey
sticks available for every participant.

The Groupe de recherche sur les espaces festifs
(GREF) teamed up with Québec en Forme and
l’Université du Québec à Montréal to evaluate
and analyze BLEU BLANC BOUGE’s impact on the
borough of Montreal North. The study, dubbed
Mon quartier, ma patinoire (My neighbourhood, my
rink), examined the effects of local access to sports
infrastructures on a community. Spanning 20 months
(between October and May 2012), the analysis
revealed the following:

children who enjoy playing winter sports with their
parents and friends. More than 58 % of children aged
6 to 11 come to the rink with their families, and 70 %
of adolescents come with their friends.
-The rink is the ideal place to discover or
rediscover a winter sport. More than 80 % of kids
prefer a day that features outdoor ice skating. The
rink is the main point of destination for winter sports
among 73 % of children.
-The rink plays an important role in the
improvement of a healthy lifestyle. Since the rink
was introduced, more than 58 % of children said they
spent less time in front of the TV or the computer.

Hockey games
at the Bell Centre for kids
In 2009, the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation was delighted to team up with newly-arrived Habs
players Brian Gionta and Scott Gomez and offer sick and underprivileged children the opportunity of
seeing a Canadiens game at the Bell Centre from the comfort of a private suite. Thanks to the generosity
of team captain Gionta and teammate Gomez, Les Amis de Scott & Brian suite was born and children’s dreams
became reality.
During the past season, some 300 kids were able
to enjoy a memorable evening and forget about
their hardship for a few hours. For most of the
invitations, the Foundation works closely with
various community organizations in order to select
children who could benefit from spending an evening
of hockey at the Bell Centre. The Foundation also
responds to individual requests for kids to fulfill
a dream at a time in their lives that may be very
difficult.

in a distinctive way, thus allowing sick and
underprivileged children to experience a Canadiens

and their spouses participated in this program.

The Montreal Canadiens’ annual
golf tournament
The Montreal Canadiens’ annual golf tournament
is a much-anticipated occasion for members of the
Habs’ glorious family to connect with collaborators
and partners, hang out with clients and friends,
while enjoying a fun day of golf on the greens before
the hockey season gets under way. This is also a
major fundraising event for the Montreal Canadiens
Children’s Foundation that generates substantial
financial revenue. These funds are what allow the
Foundation to reach its targeted objectives and to
continue to answer the growing needs of sick and
underprivileged children. Since its inception in
2000, the Foundation has raised a total of more than
$3.6 million through its annual golf tournament.
The event’s sponsors and participants are known
for their tremendous generosity, as each year they
continue to give for a good cause. And in the end,
hundreds of organizations and thousands of kids in
need have reaped the rewards.
On September 14, 2011, the Laval-sur-le-Lac
golf club hosted the Foundation’s 37th annual
tournament. By the end of the day, the event had
raised $471,593. Weather conditions proved to be
ideal as players and members of the Canadiens
organization were introduced, followed by a random
draw, which saw groups of golfers comprised
of current and ex Canadiens stars, mixed with
guests. The evening featured a cocktail, dinner
and auctioned items, including an original Michel

The Foundation’s Radio-Telethon
On March 14, 2012, the Foundation invited Canadiens
fans and the public to participate in its third annual
radio-telethon. Thanks to the invaluable support and
participation of broadcasters RDS, 98.5 FM and TSN
Radio, along with Activis, Bell and Desjardins, the
event helped raise more than $80,000 in donations,
while helping to promote the Foundation’s goals and
accomplishments.
As the sun rose over the city on March 17, morning
hosts at radio stations were already inviting the
public to make donations and help the cause of
the Foundation. Throughout the day, members of
the Canadiens family, along with representatives
of organizations that have benefited from the
support of the Foundation, participated in various
on-air programs, both at the studios of partner
broadcasters and live from the Bell Centre. At 5
p.m., several former Canadiens stars joined forces
with Habs spouses and other members of the
Canadiens organization, as well as friends of the
Foundation – including comedians Sugar Sammy and
Billy Tellier, and Olympic medalist Annie Pelletier
– in manning the phones with other groups of
volunteers to collect donations. They did this until
the game between the Habs and the Ottawa Senators
ended.
Fans at the Bell Centre were treated to an evening
of entertainment, which included a pre-game
presentation starring two children who had benefited
from the Foundation. They were joined by Habs
captain Brian Gionta and legendary ex-Canadiens
superstar and Foundation spokesman Guy Lafleur.
During the game’s second period, Foundation
volunteers participated in a special fundraising
event, which saw colourful buckets being filled by
generous fans at the Bell Centre.

First-rate
partnerships
When it comes to reaching its goals, the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation can count on
its corporate friends – first-rate partners who play a big role in helping the Foundation through
their financial contributions, year after year. It is these partners who firmly believe in the future
of youth. These companies are proud to support the efforts of the Foundation, as their goals match
Proud supporter of our youth for the past 10 years, Desjardins Securities are glad to contribute to the Foundation. André Pagé, Richard Nadeau, Yves Néron and Michel Robidoux of DS present a

those of the Canadiens and the team’s efforts to assist today’s youth.
Desjardins: 10 years of dedication
In April 2012, Desjardins Securities presented, on behalf of its employees,
a cheque for $347,290 to the Foundation. This amount was a result of an
annual fundraising effort organized by Desjardins in early 2012. Thanks to
this generous gift, Desjardins Securities brought its total employee donation
amount for the Foundation to more than $3 million over the last 10 years.
The partnership between the Foundation and Desjardins Securities
demonstrates that teamwork among Desjardins directors and employees can
go a long way to helping children in need. Their generosity and dedication
play a definitive role in allowing the Foundation to attain its objectives.
Rio Tinto Alcan
Metro: a healthy wrap-up
Ford: a perfect match!
The fifth annual Rio Tinto Alcan Benefit Evening
took place in April 2012, with proceeds going to the
Foundation. The event was held at Rio Tinto Alcan’s
corporate headquarters, which once served as a
Christian congregation going back to 1906. The
evening featured charming highlights, including
a silent and not-so-silent auction, a mystery puck
draw and performances by artists Marie-Ève Janvier
and Jean-François Breau, courtesy of evenko.
Several members of the Canadiens organization
were on hand for the occasion, including Geoff
Molson, Kevin Gilmore, Henri Richard, Guy Lafleur,
Réjean Houle, Mario Tremblay, Guy Carbonneau,
Mathieu Dandenault, Yvon Lambert, Brian Gionta,
Josh Gorges and David Desharnais.
Metro teamed up with Emballages Marcan and
the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation to
raise funds in an initiative that encouraged the
public to purchase certain fruits and vegetables.
For each packaged item sold in stores, five cents
was donated to the Foundation. Customers who
made these purchases were eligible to participate
in a contest, with gifts that included tickets to
Habs games, autographed items and the ultimate
of all prizes – a chance to appear in the official
Canadiens team photograph.
The first annual charity Ford hockey game,
featuring prominent Quebec celebrities, was
held at the Bell Centre on March 4, 2012. The
friendly game of hockey, organized by radio station
CKOI and evenko, helped raise $104,819 for the
Foundation and attracted an audience of 13,000
fans. They came to watch two teams battle it out for
bragging rights – Team Mario Tremblay, captained
by Louis Morissette, against Team Michel Therrien,
captained by Patrice Bélanger. Ford dealerships
from across the province, as well as Ford of Canada
generously contributed to the cause. CKOI and
RDS promoted the game and recruited numerous
personalities, who happily participated.
Presided by Jacynte Côté, president of Rio Tinto
Alcan, along with Pierre Boivin, president of
the board of directors of the Foundation, the
evening saw $315,000 in proceeds raised for the
Foundation – bringing Rio Tinto Alcan’s total
contribution over the past five years to $1.2
million. The partnership between the Foundation
and Rio Tinto Alcan demonstrates the strong ties
and dedication that Quebec companies have with
the goals of the Foundation.
While $100,000 was raised by Metro in 2012, the
total amount donated to the Foundation by Metro and
Emballages Marcan over the past seven years has
reached $450,000.

Children’s Foundation is closely involved with various fundraising events that provide wide public
On May 20 and 21, 2012, the Foundation and the YM-YWHA joined forces and hosted their first charity street
hockey tournament in the Côte-des-Neiges district, raising $305,000. The event featured Patrice Brisebois and
the tournament’s honorary co-president, Robert Oringer, as well as president of the event, Steve Stotland. The
two-day tournament saw plenty of ball hockey action, lots of fun and laughter among the many participants
and a tremendous show of generosity shown by donors and sponsors, as well as support from a team of
outstanding volunteers. The tourney allowed kids and adults to show off their hockey prowess. A total of 14
teams participated in the youth category, while 28 teams took part in the adult division. Several former Habs
were also on hand during the second day of the event to play a friendly game against a team of youngsters.

sponsors and friends, while tapping into the organization’s vast wealth of resources.

The second annual charity street hockey game will be held in Côte-des-Neiges in
The Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club is privileged
to have the most loyal fans in the world of sport.
The support shown by these fans is exemplified by
their generosity from the very moment when the
first puck is dropped at the start of the season,
throughout the season, during each game at the
Bell Centre. Last season, a fundraising campaign
among season ticketholders proved to be a windfall
for the Foundation, which collected $347,457 for the
construction of the fourth BLEU BLANC BOUGE rink
in the LaSalle borough. Fans also rallied around
the cause by purchasing lottery tickets, bidding for
hockey memorabilia during silent auctions, and
participating in a new lottery called Lotricolore,
with a pair of tickets for the Canadiens’ 2012-2013
season as grand prize. Others chose to make a
donation to the Foundation, allowing a child to enjoy
a ride aboard the Zamboni or to display birthday
greetings on the Jumbotron. These efforts helped
the Foundation raise $202,907.
Chef Ricardo and Habs spouses cook up a
unique idea
Last season, the Foundation had the pleasure of
taking part in a unique project that brought together
four themes that are close to the Foundation’s
heart: hockey, cooking, family and health. The
ingredients: enthusiastic and dedicated women, a
fine chef with a generous experienced and inventive
staff, and a worthy and engaging cause. The idea
was to assemble a collection of players’ favourite
family food recipes – a project initiated by Travis
Moen’s spouse, Amy. Popular chef Ricardo and the
Ricardo Media team were approached, and soon
the Foundation, along with players’ wives were
hard at work putting together a truly unique and
high-quality magazine. Cuisiner avec les Canadiens
(Cooking with the Canadiens) was divided up into
different sections, each representing the lifestyles
of Habs players and their relationship with food. The
result was a magazine that spotlights details about
what Canadiens players eat, their families’ tastes,
vacations and how they host dinner events. The
magazine also looked at what the players ate when
they were kids (featuring photos), while offering chef
Ricardo’s tasty finger food suggestions for those
hardcore Habs fans who loyally follow the games
on TV from the comfort of their living rooms. More
than 22,000 copies of the publication were sold and
Ricardo Media donated the total proceeds of $50,000
to the Foundation.
Dedicated sponsors
Corporate sponsors of the Montreal Canadiens often
go beyond the call of duty when it comes to raising
funds to help kids in need, and they do so through
the Foundation. One such example is Clorox, which
introduced a campaign that featured Habs star
goalie Carey Price. Clorox announced that it would
write a cheque to the Foundation for every shutout
recorded by Price during the season. The company
went a step further by holding a contest and inviting
fans to bid during a silent online auction. Up for
grabs was Price’s goalie mask, which featured a
design painted by a fan, and worn by Price during the
March 3, 2012 game. The successful contest resulted
in Clorox raising $18,000 for the Foundation.

streethockeyderue.org. This is an event not to be missed!
As part of this tournament, Patrice Brisebois sponsored a
kids’ team from Saint-Michel.
Another corporate sponsor, McDonald’s Canada,
teamed up with the Foundation in November 2011 to
turn the Bell Centre into a fan’s fantasy camp as part
of FestiFan, a day that featured skills competitions,
contests, autograph sessions with current and
former Habs players, team dressing room tours,
as well as a display of some of the most celebrated
NHL awards, including the venerated Stanley Cup.
This is a day that had all the elements to put smiles
on the faces of hockey fans, young and old alike.
The popular Cage aux Sports restaurant chain is
also a major Habs sponsor and loyal contributor
to the Foundation. Each year, Cage aux Sports
donates a portion of its golf tournament profits to
the Foundation.

Third party initiatives
to support the Foundation
More and more, the Foundation is pleased to be able to count on the support of the team’s many fans,
friends and youth groups, who organize original and varied fundraising events every year.
In 2003, Canadiens legend Yvan Cournoyer
announced that proceeds from his celebrity golf
classic – a popular tournament organized with
ClubLink and held at the Fontainebleau golf club –
would go to a worthy cause, such as the Foundation.
The 10th annual tournament was held in August
2011 and featured many former Canadiens greats
and NHL players. Since 2003, the event has raised
close to $350,000 for the Foundation.
Other golf tournaments have also greatly assisted
the cause of children in need. These tournaments
have been hosted by such generous companies
as ZCL Composites, Selwyn House, Les Vergers
Leahy, the National Bank of Canada and the Club
athlétique du Mont-Royal (they actually held a winter
golf tournament!) and raised over $51,000 through
foursomes, sponsorships, auctions and draws.
Daniel and Joy are two individuals whose story
has been an inspiration to children in need. On
September 17, 2011, they got married. What makes
their story unique is that they tied the knot in front
of their family, friends, and thousands of children
who receive help from the Foundation. They even
took it a step further. Their wedding took place at the
Bell Centre – the place where Daniel first asked for
his bride’s hand. The two Habs fan-atics generously
made a donation to the Foundation on behalf of
themselves and their wedding entourage.
On October 6, 2011, as the Canadiens embarked
on their 102nd season by facing the Toronto Maple
Leafs, Taylor Yankowski decided to find a clever way
of sensitizing people to the plight of children in need.
Yankowski organized a fundraising event, which
allowed Habs fans to watch the game live on the big
screen at the Colisée Kirkland theatre – an exciting
initiative which raised $3,600 for the Foundation.
Later in the 2011-2012 NHL season, Canadiens
forward Mathieu Darche led a public-awareness
campaign, appearing in a ConsignACTION video. The
segments were broadcast in January and February
on RDS and on the Internet. The campaign helped
raise $15,000 for the Foundation.
Champlain College students also got into the
fundraising act last spring. The Sports Management
and Marketing program students held a special
event called the Champlain Cup, which featured flag
football, soccer and hockey. Held on March 30 and
April 7 at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard, the
event raised $3,331 for the Foundation. Meanwhile,
in east-end Anjou, students held a special four-onfour ball hockey tournament in March. Registration
fees, sponsorships and proceeds from a draw and
food sales were all donated to the Foundation.
Congratulations to all organizers and participants,
and a heartfelt thank you!
Q. I would like to organize a fundraising event
for the Foundation. How do I get started?
A. T he Foundation is pleased to support
individuals’ efforts to raise funds on its behalf.
Please email the Foundation at fondation@
canadiens.com and write FUNDRAISING in the
email’s subject tag line.
Taylor Yankowski was all smiles when she met Réjean Houle and donated the funds raised at
her event.
Following their fundraising event, representatives from the Champlain College presented a
cheque to Ryan Frank, member of the Foundation’s team.

Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation Acknowledgements
Support that matters,
in all its forms
The Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation meets its goals and objectives because it is supported
by other non-profit organizations who believe in the Foundation’s mission – in other words, groups
that generously donate to the Foundation’s cause. The Foundation can count on the support of various
corporations and many individuals who each contribute in their own way to the success of the Foundation’s
initiatives. It is because of these donations to the Foundation that thousands of children now have the
opportunity to play a sport, attend a camp, learn the basics of proper nutrition and develop skills and
talents that will help them throughout their lives. The Foundation warmly thanks all of those who have
shown their support.

at the time for the blood supply in Québec, the clinic is organized for the benefit of Hema-Quebec since 1998.
Meetings are held in the rooms and in the corridors. One feels restlessness about this visit, most awaited by children and their parents. Despite the illness, pain
and hardships to overcome, they show their best smile. For players, emotions run high. Some of them are parents and cannot help but have a good thoughts and
encouragement for the moms and the dads who have to deal with the illness of their child and support them in these difficult times.
This season, the event presented in November 2011
yielded 664 blood donations, which corresponds to
two thirds of the daily needs of Hema-Quebec. The
presence of the Canadiens players encourages many
people to come to the Salle des pas perdus of the
Windsor Station and contribute to maintaining the
blood bank to meet the needs of the community.
Indeed, the players of the team take turns to meet
and thank the donors for their generosity, in addition
to signing autographs and to take photos with
everyone, much to the delight of those present.
Several members of the Canadiens Alumni and
inimitable Youppi! were also on site.
In addition, in recent years, Canadians can count
on the collaboration of RDS which promotes and
covers the event, in addition to being represented
by numerous personalities who offer gifts and meet
donors throughout the day. Team work that serves
the community well!

this terrible disease. Thus, throughout the month of October 2011, steps have been taken in conjunction
with the efforts of the League and its member teams.
On October 2, the organization contributed to the Run
for the Cure to benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation
of Quebec with the presence of the team mascot
Youppi! and by offering prizes for the participants.
Thanks to the dynamism of 30,000 runners and
walkers present for the Montreal event, 2.6 million
dollars were raised for the cause. A few days later,
other Habs prizes were offered to encourage 2,500
walkers gathered at Parc Jean Drapeau for the Light
The Night Walk to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society of Canada.
To recognize the courage of those who engaged
in a daily battle against cancer, the Canadiens
dedicated the October 15 game to the many children,
members of Leucan, an association that promotes
wellness, healing and recovery of children with
cancer and supports their families. Over 60 young

evening began with a pre game reception where
guests had the opportunity to meet the president
and owner of the Canadiens, Geoff Molson and his
wife Kate, former players of the organization such
as Rejean Houle, Marc Denis and Mario Tremblay,
RDS family members such as Alain Crête and Pierre
Houde, as well as the players wives and girlfriends.
They shared laughs and stories with all children
in addition to giving each a gift in memory of their
visit. This was the perfect opportunity to make the
presentation of a gift of $5,000 to Leucan, on behalf
of the NHL and the Hockey Fights Cancer campaign.
Once the game was over, a big surprise awaited the
children then gathered at the Jacques Beauchamp
Press Lounge. While Youppi! took advantage of the
moment to entertain the guests of the evening,
goaltender Carey Price and his teammates Chris
Campoli, Mathieu Darche and Tomas Plekanec
showed up at the media lounge for a special meeting
with young people. The players took the time to
answer the children’s questions, take pictures with
everyone and sign numerous autographs. What a
great way to end an evening! Children and parents left
the Bell Centre with eyes sparkling and delight.
Among the elements of awareness implemented
for the evening were the lavender ties worn by the
organization’s management and coaching staff, and
the RDS team. Also, young flag bearers on the ice
during player introductions were both members of
Leucan. Other young guests attended interviews live
on 98.5 Sports, RDS and TSN Radio 990. Finally a few

Guy Laleur
Awards of Excellence
In June 2012, the Montreal Canadiens and Molson Coors presented jointly the Guy Lafleur Awards of
Excellence and Merit for the 2011-12 season. These awards are given annually to students who exemplify
excellent on-ice achievements and scholastic results.
Students of Mrs. Johanne Goyette are proud to learn with the Canadiens@school program.
The
Canadiens@School Program
Launched in fall 2007, Canadiens @ School is a program that provides free educational tools on the theme
of hockey for teachers of the first grade through high school 3. More than 200 educational activities,
based on the curriculum criteria established by the Ministère de l’éducation, du loisir et du sport du Québec,
are available on the site. Featuring the Legends of the Montreal Canadiens and current Canadiens, this

resource does not fail to capture the attention of students and add fun in the classroom learning.
Subjects included in the programme are French, English, mathematics, arts, personal development and
physical education.
After five years of existence, the program is now used
in all 72 Québec School Boards. At the end of the
last school year, 8,865 teachers were enrolled and
had used the program to educate more than 385,000
students in over 2,252 elementary and secondary
schools in the province.
A survey of teachers confirmed that the leaflets of
this program are of high quality, with a difficulty level
suited to the academic curriculum, and contribute
positively to the teaching of subjects. Among the
most popular activities, we find in langauges,
illustrated stories and biographies of players, and in
mathematics, statistics of players who have marked
the history of the Canadiens.
Parents of kids learning with the program are not left
behind. They will find on the website tools to support
their children in achieving their homework and school
work, as well as ideas to encourage the whole family
to be active and adopt healthy life habits.
Feedback from the teachers on the program
and its impact in the classroom
“The interest of boys increased significantly in class in all subjects.”
“The program inspires many boys and motivates them to persevere when facing reading difficulties.”
“In my role as a teacher, I have to include topics that interest my students and expose them to our
culture and activities outlined in our community ... this program allows me to reach this goal.”
“Thank you for your involvement in the education of our youth. For us teachers, such resources
improve the quality of our teaching. Thank you for making your program accessible and interesting.”
The program was introduced in 1985 with the
objective of encouraging sports and academic
excellence for players competing in all three major
amateur hockey leagues in the province of Quebec;
the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL),
member schools of the Canadian Interuniversity
Sports in Quebec (CIS) and the Quebec Junior AAA
Hockey League (QJAAAL). Honorees are selected
by a jury made of representatives from the sports
media, the hockey and education communities.
Molson/Coors awards recipients of the Guy Lafleur
Awards of Excellence a $6,000 scholarship over a
3-year period, and the beneficiary of the Guy Lafleur
Awards of Merit earns a $1,000 scholarship.

Montreal Canadiens
Skate Drive
On February 19, 2012, the Montreal Canadiens held their annual collect of new and used skates at the
Bell Centre before the game between the Canadiens to the New Jersey Devils. This community initiative
organized in collaboration with Sun Life Financial helps fill the need of several local charities and
Brian Gionta
youngsters for sports equipment.
Montreal Canadiens
Scholarship Program
The Montreal Canadiens presented their 5th annual bursary ceremony within their Quebec Foundation for
Fans who attended the game donated more than
195 pairs of skates, collected at different entrances
of the Bell Centre by the players’ wives and
girlfriends and representatives of Sun Life Financial.
By participating in this initiative, supporters ran the
chance to win great prizes, including autographed
items by the Habs.
The BLEU BLANC BOUGE rinks of the Montreal
Canadiens Children’s Foundation were the main
beneficiaries of this drive. Skates were also given
to Sainte-Lucie School and to Québec en Forme for
their activities with children and their families.

totalling $100,000 towards the Foundation – a donation that allowed the organization to create a program
to support men and women’s ice hockey. A year ago, the Canadiens announced their renewed partnership
with the Foundation, with a donation of $250,000 to the organization,spread out over five years (2010 to
2015), at $50,000 per year.
Hence, on January 19 2012, the Montreal Canadiens
captain Brian Gionta presented twenty-eight $1,500
scholarships to hockey players between 14 and 17
years of age. Eight of the scholarships were given
to female hockey players from Quebec’s provincial
squad who are seeking to join the Canadian
national team, while twenty scholarships were
handed out to Midget AAA League players. The
awards ceremony was held at the Bell Centre prior
to the game between the Canadiens and the visiting
Detroit Red Wings.
This year, a new addition was made to the Montreal
Canadiens Bursary Program. Seven academic
excellence bursaries were awarded to studentathletes in hockey who achieved impressive
academic results. The 21 other bursary recipients
received a scholarship for their athletic excellence.
A reminder that scholastic performance is an
important eligibility criteria to better prepare
students for a post-athletic career.
Recipients for 2012 were selected based on their
athletic excellence and for having pursued their
secondary or post-secondary education. The
Montreal Canadiens Bursary Program is managed
by the Quebec Foundation for Athletic Excellence
in partnership with Hockey Québec and the Midget
AAA League.

the goal is green!
program
In May 2007, the Montreal Canadiens organization embarked on what would become known as The Goal
is Green! program, an ambitious and wide-ranging project to position the club at the forefront of all
environmental leaders in professional sports. Through its mission, the program aims to reduce the
organization’s environmental footprint, support the greening of the environment and renewable
resources, and encourage its fanbase to do the same.

The LRF Program
LEARN, RESPECT, FUN
The Montreal Canadiens LRF Program, presented in collaboration with Hockey Quebec, aims to support
and promote the growth and development of minor hockey in Quebec. The program is offered to all young
Quebec hockey players, from Novice to Bantam. To participate, all players, parents and coaches of a team
must agree to abide by and enforce the fundamental principles of the program: good behavior, fair values
and sportsmanship.
To achieve these goals, a comprehensive review
of the Bell Centre’s operations management was
undertaken to identify the areas and processes in
the facility that were falling short of environmental
standards. Once the identified areas had been
corrected or improved, the Bell Centre applied for and
received three environmental certifications – Ici on
Recycle (Level 3), LEED-EB (Existing Building), and
ISO 14001 - the most of any venue in North America.
Ici on recycle (Level 3)
In May 2008, the Bell Centre received a level 3
certification by the Quebec government’s Ici on
Recycle program for recycling and composting 80%
of the facility’s residual waste. Since that time, the
Bell Centre has increased the level to 85% (up from
25% prior to the launch of program), a figure which
represents approximately 1,000 tons of residual
waste that is recycled or composted by the Bell
Centre on an annual basis.
LEED-EB (Existing Building)
Fan-friendly Initiatives
The Bell Centre received certification from the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) on October 13, 2009. LEED is a thirdparty certification program and an internationally
accepted benchmark for the design, construction
and operation of high performance green buildings.
In addition to the organizational improvements
implemented as part of the Goal is Green! program,
the Montreal Canadiens have also made numerous
improvements that impact the public, such as:
To become certified, the Bell Centre had to meet
50 LEED criteria, which necessitated the following
notable actions:
- Installing water efficient toilets and faucets to
reduce water usage by 20%
- Implementing a policy whereby 80% of Bell Centre
purchases are of recycled, re-used, or local
materials.
- Reducing carbon gas emissions by 28%.
As a result of the changes made to the Bell Centre
in order to become LEED certified, the venue
became 35% more energy efficient than similar-type
facilities throughout North America.

Pierre Allard
During the 2010-11 season, nearly 18,500 young
people from more than 1,000 teams from all across
Quebec committed to play hockey for fun, to learn
and observe the rules of the game, respect their
teammates, their coaches, officials, opponents and
their supporters, and to remain in control of their
emotions to prevent the game to become a violent
sport. For their part, the coaches have also made
the commitment to know and respect the rules of
amateur hockey and to defend them at all times, and
to educate their players to sportsmanship and to
encourage and reward such behavior.
In addition to the official kit given to all teams,
the LRF program offers two main activities to its
members: the Tim Hortons Coaching Day and the
Esso Minor Hockey Festival. Teams also have the
chance to win an invitation to attend a Canadiens
practice at the Bell Centre during the season.
Tim Hortons Coaching Day
Some 850 coaches from all across Quebec, in
categories pre-novice to bantam, received one day of
training at the Bell Centre in September 2010, with
Esso Minor Hockey Festival
the Montreal Canadiens’ coaching staff, as well as
specialists from Hockey Quebec. Several topics were
discussed, including goaltender coaching methods
and how to improve several aspects of the game:
basic skills, physical preparation and, decisionmaking and execution in one-on-one situations.

Montreal Canadiens Hockey School
Montreal Canadiens 3-on-3 League
The Montreal Canadiens Hockey School is a summer
camp that has helped more than 700 young people
from Novice to Pee Wee to improve several aspects
of their game, with valuable advice of coaches and
consultants from the world of professional sports.
This unique hockey experience helps young people
learn while spending an unforgettable week at
the Bell Sports Complex. The program intends to
teach young players a sporting culture combining
their natural abilities, respect and sportsmanship
while encouraging their passion for this sport. The
Canadiens school is divided into two components:
Recreation, for children who love hockey and want a
memorable experience in the presence of members
of the Montreal Canadiens organization, and Elite,
focusing more on developing individual skills.
The summer season brought back the Montreal
Canadiens 3-on-3 League at the Bell Sports
Complex where 420 young people from Novice to
Bantam competed for honors for 13 weeks between
May and August.
Montreal Canadiens Skills Camp
These five half-day camps taking place at the Bell
Centre are designed to help Atom and Pee Wee
players to improve different aspects of their game
including skating, puck handling, passing, throws
and an overview of methods for off-ice training.
During the last season, 440 youth participated
enthusiastically to workouts and training sessions.
Inspired and dedicated team work
throughout the season
Filled with a sincere desire to contribute to the wellbeing of the community, members of the different
departments of this organization are actively
involved with various charitable endeavors. Whether
it’s about finding a cure for a disease, supporting
research, alleviating the suffering or stamping out
poverty, or encouraging healthier lifestyle, it’s all
about getting involved outside the ice.
Among the significant initiatives of the year, the
season started with the solidarity of the players’
wives and girlfriends in the air tragedy that decimated
the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team. Through the LOVE
FOR LOKOMOTIV campaign, they united their efforts
with those of all the NHL teams players’ spouses
to raise money and help the bereaved families. Fall
then announced the return of the annual United Way
campaign that brings together players, management
and employees of the Club de hockey Canadien,
evenko and the Bell Centre. Several employees have
participated in the march of umbrellas in the streets
of downtown Montreal to celebrate the launch of the
campaign. More than $144 000 were raised by the
entire organization for the 2011 edition.
November is now associated with Movember, an
international initiative which aims to raise funds
in support of men’s health issues, particularly
prostate cancer, and create awareness toward this
cause. A dozen players on the team have sported
mustaches and raised funds, among them were
team captain Brian Gionta, Scott Gomez, Jaroslav
Spacek, Raphael Diaz, Ryan White, P.K. Subban,
Tomas Plekanec, David Desharnais, Mathieu Darche,
Erik Cole, Josh Gorges, Hal Gill and Carey Price.
Youppi! and employees of the organization also wore
the mustache and MO HABS MO team colors t-shirts
were created and sold to benefit the cause.
Month of celebration, December is a good time to
join efforts in favor of the poor. In support of the
Grande Guignolée des Médias, the organization
held its annual food drive prior to the game against
the Vancouver Canucks on December 8. Fans
were invited to bring non-perishable food items
to the Bell Centre where they were collected by
the players’ wives and volunteers from Moisson
Montreal, Sun Youth and the Société Saint-Vincentde-Paul. All donations were subsequently given
to these organizations to meet the needs of the
Montreal community.
The magic of Christmas was also present as the
players and their spouses, as well as employees
of the organization, contributed generously to
Opération Père Noël, an initiative of Mr. Normand
Brault, co-founder of this children’s endeavor.
This organization works in partnership with youth
centers, CSSS, schools, and other community
organizations that are linked to underprivileged
families whose children may not receive a visit from
Santa Claus. Thursday, December 15, wives wrapped
together all the gifts they had bought for the kids,
just before the game between the Canadiens and
Philadelphia Flyers.

session ended with a game four against four.
At the heart of winter, the Montreal community was
saddened by the death of the former Montreal Expos
catcher Gary Carter. On February 19, the Canadiens
paid tribute to the “Kid” with a special pre-game
ceremony during which all players wore a CARTER –
8 sweater for the warm-up period. For the occasion,
team mascot Youppi! was in its Expos uniform. These
jerseys, autographed by their respective players,
have raised more than $30,000 in an online auction
to benefit the Gary Carter Foundation.
Finally, we must emphasize the many postgame meet and greet conducted throughout the
season between the Habs and children affected
by serious illness or experiencing difficulties
that seem insurmountable. Whether it is with the
help of organizations such as the Children’s Wish
Foundation, Sunshine Foundation of Canada or the
Make-a-wish Foundation, at the request of a center
for pediatric care, a doctor or a close friend or
member of the family, the organization is sensitive to
the dreams of these children and wants to contribute
to achieving them. Carey Price, Tomas Plekanec,
Mathieu Darche, PK Subban, David Desharnais, Josh
Gorges, Lars Eller, Scott Gomez, Hal Gill and Brian
Gionta have all participated in this year meaningful
and touching meetings.
Tribute to the military
During the last season, the Canadiens paid tribute
to sixty soldiers during a game on January 31 at the
Bell Centre. For the occasion, the guests had the
opportunity to meet with Réjean Houle and Geoff
Molson. The organization recognizes the courage
and commitment of soldiers from Quebec and
supports its players’ initiatives in this regard. Every
game of the season, the organization recognized
the presence of the military guests in the Cammy’s
Heroes Program, established in the fall of 2009 by
Michael Cammalleri. Also, throughout the month
of November 2011, Carey Price wore a mask
specially decorated to honor veterans and the
Canadian Forces. Sold at auction, this mask has
raised $10 000 for Wounded Warriors and the
Canadian Forces.

Players and their charitable foundations
Beyond team activities, the players invest time and
energy in causes that are dear to them. In November
2011, Max Pacioretty announced the establishment
of a foundation that bears his name and whose
primary objective is to help the Foundation of
the Montreal General Hospital to raise funds for
the acquisition of magnetic resonance imaging
apparatus for the Cranio-cerebral Trauma Center at
the MUHC/Montreal General Hospital, a world leader
in the research and treatment of concussions. Other
players in the organization also established in their
careers Foundations to give back to their community.
Among these, the Erik Cole Dream Big Foundation,
which promotes the development of minor hockey
in North Carolina and that helps children with
cancer and other diseases, and the Scotty Gomez
Foundation which provides opportunities and
support for young hockey players in Alaska.
The Montreal Canadiens Alumni
The Montreal Canadiens Alumni Association can
count on five ambassadors - Jean Béliveau, Guy
Lafleur, Henri Richard, Yvan Cournoyer and Réjean
Houle - and more than 200 active members.
These former players who contributed to making
the Canadiens the greatest team in the history
of the NHL, continue this tradition and desire for
excellence by offering annually more than 2,000
hours in more than 300 appearances with various
community initiatives throughout Quebec.

Le Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie
For the fourth consecutive year, the Canadiens
participated in the Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie, a
spectacular bike marathon during which 180 teams
of 4 or 5 cyclists ride over 1,000 km in a route that
leads from the Saguenay to Montreal, through the
various regions of Quebec. All profits generated by
this initiative are donated to the Fondation GO to
support research into hereditary orphan diseases
and projects that promote healthy lifestyles. In
addition, each cycling team is invited to sponsor
one or more elementary schools of their choice
to encourage them to enter the contest Lève-toi
et bouge. In return, the Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie
gives these sponsored schools donations raised
by their respective teams beyond their registration
fee. This 1,000 km is much more than a single
sporting achievement. It is an event that brings
hope to all young people and their families, inviting
them to take control of their health and for all
those affected by a hereditary orphan. It is also a
mobilizing project for thousands of students from
Quebec who take part in the Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie
during the school year. Together, the six Canadiens
teams which included David Desharnais and former
players Sébastien Bordeleau, Patrice Brisebois,
Guy Carbonneau and Stéphane Quintal, rode their
bike with heart and determination for nearly 60
hours. Their efforts have raised more than $180,000,
