Lived for 2 years in Montreal when I was younger due to my father's work with the US government, wife is from northern Vermont about 45 minutes south of Montreal and all her family still lives there and she is related to the Richard brothers (her grandmother's maiden name was Richard and I believe they were her 1st cousins), and I grew up playing hockey and during that time Patrick Roy was my favourite player since I played goaltender. Playing youth hockey up there as a kid can make anyone becomes a Habs fan.
