Montreal Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin announced that they have signed Carey Price to a 6 year contract which takes him to the 2017-18 season.

As with any club policy the financial terms were not released.

Price (24) comes from Anaheim Lake in Northern BC; which alone states that “small town” players are in the running to play in the NHL.

He was the Canadiens’ first pick (first round, fifth overall) in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

He just completed his 5th season with the Habs and In 65 games he managed to maintain a record of 26 (wins)’ 28 (losses), plus 11 OT/SO losses.

He recorded four shutouts with a 2.43 goals against average. Price stopped 1,754 of the 1,914 shots he faced for a .916 save percentage.

Dating back to the 07-08 season he has a record of 124-104-35 in 271 regular season games.

He is currently tied for 11th in team’s history with 16 shutouts. He shows a 2.56 goals against average and a .916 save percentage.

Price was the Molson Cup recipient for the months of October, November, December and February thereby earning the honour.

The netminder took part in his third All-Star Game, held last January in Ottawa. As with any game when the “Habs” come to town, the rink is packed with supporters all standing rink-side to watch him in the warm-up prior to the game.

This alone is great to see; considering he is from Northern BC.
