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.

Trade Market – The Forwards

By Craig Scharien –

As the NHL’s trade deadline approaches, the Habs have been struggling to put the puck in the net and general consensus is that they could use a couple pieces up front. There aren’t many sellers out there and prices may be too high for Marc Bergevin’s taste, but here are some of the options he could target.

HW 3 Stars- January 2017

By Craig Scharien –

During the month of January the Canadiens were powered by their top line in the absence of the stellar goaltending we are all used to. This wasn’t lost on HabsWorld readers as they voted all three members to the three stars for the month.

HabsWorld would like to know which three players you think made the grade as HW’s 3 Stars for the month. The Montreal Canadiens put together an 8-5-1 record for January, with a strong performance by the new first line doing most of the damage.

HW 3 Stars: December 2016

By Craig Scharien –

The votes are in, and for the first time this season Carey Price isn’t on the list of the Montreal Canadiens’ three stars. As the team battled through injuries to post a respectable record and hold onto first place in the Atlantic there were some great performances by the usual suspects, but also some of the Habs’ depth players.

Vote for December’s 3 Stars!

By Craig Scharien –

It’s time for the HabsWorld readers to vote for their three stars of the month. December wasn’t kind to the Montreal Canadiens, however there were a number of strong performances this month, allowing Montreal to hold onto the top spot in the Atlantic Division.
