Michael Hage on growing up a Canadiens fan: “My parents both grew up in Montreal. When I was young, my dad had me cheering for the Habs right away. It’s just who I’ve cheered for since.”

So stoked for this kid
Love it!
“that would be a dream”
And people are figuring out a way to make a “Hage for Crosby” trade. For Christ’s sake.
I thought this was going to be a true crime post before I saw what sub this was lol
If this guy plays well, he’s going to be a star in this market
can’t wait to see him make the team. It’s probably going to be a super emotional moment knowing what the Habs mean to him and his family 🥺
I’m so pumped for this kid to join the team. He’ll fit in well.
Please Kent don’t trade him
Will his play translate well to the NHL? Comparables in terms of style and production?
Yeah. When I watched this there was no holding back my tears. His dad would be so proud.
If Hage wasn’t a Habs fan, he would have been a Leafs fan probably.
Somehow I think playing for his childhood team as a Habs fan is better than doing so as a Leafs fan.
The Leafs might not even have drafted him as they had a late 1st round pick in 2024 and he would not be available anymore.
