Below is a small excerpt from the TSN/CP article about the Canadiens new state of the art practice facility:
It is a nondescript glass and brick building by a highway in a particularly soulless part of the suburbs, but the Montreal Canadiens love it.
The Canadiens had nothing but rave reviews after their first skate at their new $36-million practice facility – the Complexe Sportif Bell – on Monday.
“It was an overwhelming feeling,” said captain Saku Koivu. “It’s a lot bigger and it’s even nicer than expected.”
Veteran Winger Georges Laraque, who joined the Canadiens this season after playing for other teams with suburban practice rinks, went even further.
“You can’t even compare any other team’s practice facility to this,” he said. “And I would even go so far as to say you can’t compare this to any main rink of any other team.
“This is the best in the league.”
