Every Habs player's nickname revealed with special-edition jerseys
The Montreal Canadiens are peeling back the curtain on player nicknames.
And for a great cause, too.
The Habs will wear player nicknames on the back of their warm-up jerseys when they host the New York Rangers at Bell Centre, with the specialty threads to be auctioned off to raise funds for their RadioTéléDON charity event.
Sure, some aren’t the most creative. Take “Dacher” for Kirby Dach or “Jesse” for Jesse Ylonen, and others are more well-known like “Wifi” for Arber Xhekaj or “Zukes” for Nick Suzuki.
