About the event

Launch! Habs Nation
Robin Philpot of Baraka Books is thrilled to invite you to the launch of HABS NATION: A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE MONTREAL CANADIENS.

The history of the Montreal Canadiens is about more than just hockey. It’s also the story of how hockey’s most winning team has always skated hand-in-hand with its home province of Quebec.

HABS NATION takes a fresh look at the team's ups and downs since the heyday of the “Flying Frenchmen” in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and shows how the history of the team mirrors the tumultuous changes in Quebec over the past decades. Why was it that from 1955, year of the “Rocket Richard Riot,” until 1995, year of Quebec’s second referendum, the Canadiens won 17 Stanley Cups?

BRENDAN KELLY is well known in Montreal as the author of the Gazette Column "What the Puck,” and is the former music columnist for CBC Daybreak. He currently DJ’s monthly 80s dance parties, High Fidelity.

Robin Philpot, éditeur de Livres Baraka, a le plaisir de vous inviter au lancement de HABS NATION : A People’s History of the Montreal Canadiens.

L’histoire des Canadiens de Montréal ne se résume pas au hockey. C’est aussi l’histoire de la collaboration entre l’équipe la plus victorieuse et le Québec.

HABS NATION jette un regard neuf sur les hauts et les bas de l’équipe depuis l’âge d’or des « Flying Frenchmen » dans les années 50, 60 et 70. Il montre comment l’histoire de l’équipe reflète les changements tumultueux qu’a connus le Québec au cours des dernières décennies. Comment se fait-il qu’entre 1955, année de l’émeute de « Rocket Richard », et 1995, année du deuxième référendum au Québec, les Canadiens aient remporté 17 coupes Stanley ?

BRENDAN KELLY est bien connu à Montréal comme l'auteur de la chronique de la Gazette « What the Puck » et est l'ancien chroniqueur musical de CBC Daybreak. Il est actuellement DJ des soirées dansantes mensuelles des années 80, « High Fidelity ».
