MONTREAL – Youppi! was not the only oversized orange character present at the Canadiens’ home opener.
During first intermission of the game against Chicago, the team debuted a new in-game entertainment feature for Saturday nights featuring giant anthropomorphic racing traffic cones.
A part of FANatic Saturdays programming for the 2023-24 season, Rush Hour Rally sees four distinct traffic cone characters from four Montreal neighborhoods compete in a two-lap footrace on the Bell Centre ice.
Over the 12-race season, fans are encouraged to stay in their seats during first intermission every Saturday to cheer their favorite cones to victory. Whether it’s Connie (Old Montreal), Flash (West Island), P-J (Plateau-Mont-Royal), or K.O. (Hochelaga-Maisonneuve), only one can rule the road!
