I was born and raised in Montreal and yet I didn't grow up as a Montreal Canadiens die hard fan. I see myself being a NHL fan since I like players all across the league.
Everytime I visit the Bell Center.. Even before the warmup, I get to feel goose bumps all over my body. The feeling you get to watch the team with the longuest history of all NHL is about to play!
As far as drinks and food.. I wouldn't pay a penny. Water bottles are sold for almost 8$ Beer in cans for 11.50$.. Food is super expensive!
Yes, I would visit several times each year but don't expect me throwing my money without looking during a hockey game
