Fromer Canadien Shea Weber has a message for you

It is the dream of every kid who grew up playing hockey in Canada to play in the NHL. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have not only achieved this dream, but to have had the chance to do so for a Canadian team and as a member of one of the original six teams.

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined playing for the Montreal Canadiens, let alone being named captain of that team. Putting on that legendary jersey every night was one of the greatest honors of my career, and something I cherished every time I had the opportunity.

I would like to thank my teammates, the coaches, the management, the entire organization, Geoff Molson and the Molson family, the Montreal media and most importantly the fans who have welcomed me and my family and made this city a second home.

Montreal will always have a place in my heart.

Thank you for everything.

Shea Weber
