The NHL is looking to bring its games to a place it hasn't been since the 1950s, according to David Pagnotta.

Pagnotta revealed plans for the Montreal Canadiens to hit the ice in Paris in October 2025.


It's been a long time since the Canadiens played in France; it was way back in 1939 against the Detroit Red Wings in a nine-game series. They did make a trip across the pond in 1992, playing twice in London against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Pagnotta shared his excitement about the Canadiens' upcoming European trip:

"Just before we finish, there's something interesting to note. We've discussed the Global Series recently, and it's worth mentioning that it looks like the Montreal Canadiens will be heading to Paris in 2025. Not next year, but the year after that in October.

It seems the Canadiens and the NHL are ironing out the details for the Habs to play in Paris in '25. It's also expected that Stockholm will be another host city at that time. So, let's wait and see."
