Sixth all-star appearance will be different for Canadiens defenceman Weber
WINNIPEG — Going to the NHL all-star game is nothing new for Shea Weber, but this season it’s a little different.
That’s because the veteran defenceman will represent the Montreal Canadiens when he makes his sixth appearance at the event Jan. 28-29 in Los Angeles, Calif.
He’ll be joined by Montreal head coach Michel Therrien and goalie Carey Price, who was announced last week as the Atlantic Division’s captain through fan voting.
“Carey and I and coach are going to be representing the Montreal Canadiens and we’re very grateful and happy to have that honour,” Weber said Wednesday after his team’s morning skate prior to its game against the Winnipeg Jets.
