Whether it be through news articles, play-by-play analysis, or simply common discussion, All Habs dominates the Montreal Canadiens social community on Twitter, coming in at 40,000+ strong.  In fact, there is no other hockey website focussing on a single-team who comes close.

Steve started playing hockey at the age of four, played as a goaltender as high as Junior AAA and was drafted to the QMJHL. When he isn’t writing about the Canadiens or twiddling with HTML code on the website, you can usually find him sharing his sarcasm on Twitter where he enjoys the never-ending hockey arguments. Steve also works as an analyst for Rogers Communications and enjoys the fact that his downtown office is only a five-minute walk from the Bell Centre. On the personal side; Animal Planet, poutine, the colour blue, the word ‘weaponized’ and Pepsi are just a few of Steve’s favourite things.

  1. We will definitely be doing Fantasy Hockey with specifics coming out within the next 2 weeks. We’ll make an announcement in The Forum. If you wish to receive an invite prior feel free to send me an email at [email protected].

    The format will be head to head and based on specific category victories vs your head to head opponent. Goals, assists, shots on goal, game winning goal etc. Off the top of my head I think we went with 11 or 12 categories for skaters and specific categories for goaltenders.
