Chantal Machabée was named Vice President, Hockey Communications of the Canadiens in January 2022.

For over 32 years, Chantal was part of Réseau des sports (RDS) as a sports reporter, covering all Quebec sports, including the daily activities of the Canadiens.

A Laval native, Machabée is known in the Quebec media landscape for her professionalism and dedication. A true pioneer within the sports broadcasting industry, in 1989 she became the first woman to anchor a daily sports newscast in Quebec when she hosted the inaugural episode of Sports 30 on RDS - the first program to air on the network - alongside Serge Deslongchamps. Since then, she has continued to serve as an inspiration to countless journalists throughout the media.
