Your Canadiens for April 13, 2012

A few quick hits to send you off to the weekend.

VOTE FOR P.K. SUBBAN FOR NHL 13 COVER


If you haven't heard, the NHL and EA Sports are running on a contest right now that lets people vote for who will be on the cover of the NHL 13 video game.  In the first round, fans had to vote between two players on each team, and P.K. Subban defeated Tomas Plekanec for the Canadiens.  Now in the second round, you can vote for between 1 and 16 of the remaining 32 candidates.  For maximal efficiency, I'd recommend voting for just Subban so that you don't help his competitors!  Vote here:

ALSO VOTE FOR CANADIENS AWARDS


If that got you in a voting mood, though it's a little less exciting since there is no possible reward, the Habs are currently hosting a vote for numerous team awards.  Check out the categories and pick your favourites on the team's official website here:

KOVALEV FOUNDATION ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT ANNOUNCED


The Fondation Kovalev announced its annual charity golf tournament for this year, set to take place on June 18th at the St-Raphael Golf Club in Ile Bizard.  Last year's even included appearances by both Alex Kovalev himself and Tomas Plekanec amongst others.  See their website for last year's info here: http://www.fondationkovalev.org/ or you can e-mail info@fondationkovalev.org to inquire about participating this year.

MEET HAB LEGEND ELMER LACH MONDAY IN POINTE CLAIRE


Dave Stubbs announced today that fans are invited to come meet him and former Canadiens superstar Elmer Lach on Monday for the kick off of the Pointe Claire Oldtimers Charity Hockey Tournament.  The event begins Monday at 3 PM at the Bob Birnie Arena.  Details here: http://www.hockeyinsideout.com/news/monday-come-meet-habs-icon-elmer-lach-at-pointe-claire-oldtimers-tourney

EX-CANADIENS STAFF JOINING TEAM CANADA


Hockey Canada announced that former Montreal Assistant Coach Kirk Muller and former Hamilton Bulldogs Head Coach Guy Boucher will serve as Assistant Coaches to Brent Sutter for the upcoming World Championships.  P.K. Subban was previously announced as one of the team's initial 17 members, and I'm certain he'll be happy to see a pair of familiar faces behind the bench.
