Allow me a moment to enjoy this beautiful jersey of the team I watched as a kid growing up in French Immersion and traveling to Quebec City to watch the Nordiques as an English Canadian. This jersey is why I love hockey and I’m so happy to have it now as an adult supporting my now Colorado Avalanche. Avs will always be my team even if I never get a chance to go to Pepsi Center/ Ball Arena because without Quebec, this team and history doesn’t exist.
To paraphrase a popular Canadian children’s book:
Merci Monsieur Eaton! Nous avait envoyé un chandail bleu et blanc…de [Les Nordiques de Québec]
