10 times the Montreal Canadiens nailed their Halloween costumes
Hockey is a game of sharp edges, split decisions, and big body checks. This kind of intensity requires professional players to bring their utmost focus and energy to the rink every night.
And if you play in Montreal, that pressure is always magnified.
Because of the sport’s serious nature, we often forget about the players’ personalities off the ice. Luckily, Halloween is one of the few opportunities where players can show off their goofy (or spooky) side.
In recent years, Canadiens players have elevated their Halloween costume game to new heights. Here are a few of our favourite former and current Habs players’ get-ups from the past few autumns.
Who knows? You might even get a few costume ideas of your own.

Two years ago Jeff Petry put the ultimate family costume together. With his wife Julie as Little Red Riding Hood, and his children as the three little pigs, Petry completed the fairytale ensemble with his surprisingly realistic wolfman suit.
