I’m a lover of sports in general – if it’s on, I’ll likely watch it. But nothing compares to hockey and Montreal Canadiens. I’ve lived most of my life on the west coast, which presents some challenges as a Habs fan, but it’s never been so easy to follow my favourite club as it is these days. In Vancouver I work as an Editorial Assistant at a local travel magazine and do a lot of volunteering at local museums. My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in History, training as technical writer and work in hospitality. I’m also an avid traveler myself and have significant spent time in Europe, South and Central America and Asia. My favourite spots? Spain, Vietnam, Belize…the list goes on.

This is reflected in the Three Stars, with both youth and veterans represented.

By Craig Scharien –

It has been a rough ride in Habs land as of late; with injuries and losses starting to pile up it can be tough to see the positives. However, the HabsWorld readers managed to find some bright spots in December.
