Here’s an excerpt from the NHL.com article by Brian Compton:
An entire village soon will come together and turn Roberval, Quebec, into Hockeyville — the annual competition sponsored by Kraft that the city on Lac Saint-Jean won earlier this year. Carbonneau, who is from Sept-Iles, Quebec, is familiar with the area and knows just how much this event will mean to a city with a population of roughly 10,000 people.
“I had the chance to play four years in Chicoutimi, which is about an hour away,” Carbonneau told NHL.com. “I’ve never had the chance to go there too often, but I know the people there are excited. It’s always been a corner of the province that really supported the Canadiens. I’m sure I’m going to have a few fans in the stands.”
No doubt, Benoit Levesque Arena will be packed. Although the facility can only hold about 1,200 people, another 8,000-10,000 people are expected on the grounds to witness the event outside on a large-screen television.
