We’ve just received a great confirmation from the Montreal Canadiens organization regarding former defenseman Andrei Markov.

This is definitely a must-see event.

The Canadiens Announce a Tribute Night for Andrei Markov on December 3

Here are excerpts from the official announcement from the Tricolore:

“The Bell Centre will welcome the grand return of Andrei Markov this year, as the Club will highlight the career of the prolific defenseman on December 3.

Andrei Markov played 990 games with the Canadiens over the course of his career, and he will step back into the arena one last time to commemorate his 16 seasons in Montreal.

Many observers had criticized the lack of a tribute night for Markov in recent years, and now it will finally happen.

Andrei Markov, now 46 years old, was a 6-foot, 200-pound left-shot defenseman.

A 6th-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 1998, Markov played 990 career games in the NHL, all with the Habs.

He recorded 572 points, including 119 goals, and added 32 points in 89 playoff games.

This will be a well-deserved tribute for him!
