The Montreal Canadiens Care For Their Fans

Back in 1975, Paul Antionadis was in high school in Hamilton, Ontario, deep in Toronto Maple Leafs territory, but was cheering for the Montreal Canadiens as he had been since he was 10 years old. One September morning, young Paul decided to write a letter to Jean Beliveau asking him to have the postcards he enclosed, of Steve Shutt and Yvan Cournoyer, signed. It took some time because Canada Post went on strike (how little things have changed), but eventually, in December, a letter arrived from Montreal, which the youngster opened on his lunch break.
