The Players

The Canadiens are made up of a mix of players from around the globe. The success of the team rests on the shoulders of Cristobal Huet, as well as up and coming rookie goalie Carey Price. Cristobal counts on the presence of solid defenders, like the talented Andrei Markov and veteran warrior Roman Hamrlik. Veteran shooters up front like Alexei Kovalev and Michael Ryder are expected to lead the team in goals. Youngsters Chris Higgins, Andrei Kostitsyn and Mike Komisarek will provide leadership, offence and defence for the Habs in 2007-08. The captain Saku Koivu, gives the Canadiens team its image of being courageous and fierce. His victory over Cancer in 2002 and his determination to return plus his career best season in 2002-2003 has relit the flame in the locker room and the with the fans of the Canadiens.
