If you’ve ever been to a Montreal Canadiens game, or watched one on TV, you’ve heard the voice of Michel Lacroix enthusiastically announcing the arrival of the Canadiens onto the ice with the goosebump-inducing introduction.
He exuberantly names players who scored goals for the home team and will professionally announce goals scored by the away team with just enough of a hint of disdain to remind them that they shouldn’t get comfortable. When a former fan favourite was making a return in enemy colours, Lacroix would certainly give him a nod.
For several generations of Canadiens fans, he’s the only voice they have ever heard in association with the team.
