Carey Price surprises youngsters at the Canadiens Hockey School

BROSSARD - Although his 36th birthday was just last week, it was Carey Price doing the gift-giving on Wednesday at the CN Sports Complex.

The netminder returned to Montreal midweek to visit the youngsters at the Canadiens Hockey School's Elite Week powered by Under Armour.

Long time concealed by the cage of his mask, this time Price hid in the corner of the press conference room as he awaited the participants' arrival.

It's hard to keep a poker face in the presence of a hockey legend and sure enough, Price was met with a mix of praise from some, while others were left speechless.

Like a scene out of a Christmas movie, each child was gifted a pair of SlipSpeed shoes courtesy of Under Armour, straight from the palms of the 15-year NHL veteran. Christmas in August, you say?

Many kids took advantage of the meet and greet to take a quick selfie with the GOAT.
