Habs practice hall now CN Sports Complex
The South Shore building known as the Complexe Bell, where the Canadiens practice, will now be called the CN Sports Complex because for some reason the railway is now involved.

Presumably it’s just a straight naming-rights deal, like with so many other sports facilities.

I was hoping they’d get the players to repair trains in their downtime.
Do the Canadiens even take a train to Toronto if they’re playing there? I’ve seen photos of people like Maurice Richard on trains, but I imagine they only fly these days.

I suspect they would take a bus to Ottawa, but everywhere else is probably a flight.

If it’s due to CN being a financial sponsor, they’ve really got their priorities wrong. Safety regulations are still falling short 10 years after the Lac Megantic disaster and the railway continues to cut through the downtown core (residents implored the powers-that-be to reroute it).

They’re going to rebuilt Windsor Railway station there for the High-ish Speed Train.
