The NHL’s “United by Hockey” Mobile Museum returns to town for a second time on Oct. 16, when the traveling exhibit sets up shop outside the CN Sports Complex in Brossard.

On tour across all 32 NHL cities, the mobile museum tells the stories of those who have influenced the game from multiple underrepresented and multicultural demographics.

Fans young and old will see educational videos, exclusive artifacts from players of all backgrounds, and get a look at the next generation of players, officials, broadcasters, and women in hockey. Aspiring broadcasters will also be able to test their on-air chops in an interactive play-by-play booth within the 840-square-foot pop-up expo.

It last visited the Montreal area in June, with a stop at the BLEU BLANC BOUGE rink in NDG.

The museum was created by the National Hockey League, the Hockey Hall of Fame and ALXMOBILE to travel across the United States and Canada. Although the content is mostly in English, guides will be on site to provide translations.

The museum will be open to the public from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The event is free and non-ticketed to all and will be held rain or shine, but note that the exhibit can accept a maximum of 150 visitors per hour.

The Canadiens are likewise scheduled to host a practice at the CN Sports Complex on Monday at 10:30 a.m., open to the public to watch as usual, making for a day full of hockey to take in on Montreal’s south shore.

See you there!
