As you all know, the start of this upcoming season marks the 100th anniversary of the most storied franchise in hockey history, the Montreal Canadiens. In honor of this historic event Around The Rink will be posting a weekly series starting next week and running throughout the season celebrating the teams and players that made this franchise one of the greatest in all of sports. So as not to completely bore anyone to death with too many statistics and bios about the players you already know and grew up with, the posts will be filled with images and interesting details, stories, quotes, etc. in the attempt to celebrate the past and relive the memories. All of the autographed pictures posted will be courtesy of Gregsky's Collection along with some old newspaper clippings and from the scrapbooks and magazines in Gregsky’s collection. This weekly feature promises to be very different from anything else you will find on the web celebrating this tremendous achievement.
We here at ATR hope you all will enjoy remembering the past and encourage you to share with us your stories of how the Canadies have effected your lives as well as your fondest memories of the teams and players. We hope you will join us each week this season as we celebrate 100 years of Montreal Canadiens hockey.
