As part of the team's special FANatic Saturdays programming, the "Lucky Shots" segment features three shots of increasing difficulty. The first, from a near blue line, provides a chance to win a prize package of Fanatics apparel valued at over $300. The second, from center ice, offers the possibility of a pair of White-level season tickets for the 2022-23 season. The third, from the far blue line, will see the stakes raised considerably with a life-changing $500,000 awaiting the fan who can successfully score through an opening in the middle of the goal mouth. In December 2019, a fan successfully realized the feat on Bell Centre ice and earned $50,000 for his efforts at the time.
"ESSOR Assurances, a partner of the Montreal Canadiens for over fifteen years, is proud to be part of such an event," said Michel Duval, President of ESSOR Insurance. "We wish everyone who participates good luck, not only for winning half a million dollars, but also for the chance to walk the ice where so many great players have skated throughout the years."
Since 2017, the Canadiens' FANatic Saturdays have celebrated weekend hockey with unique live and digital programming, and special promotions and offers for fans to experience wherever they may be. In addition to one-off theme nights and giveaways, each Saturday game - home and away - features a live bilingual Q&A with special contributor Marc Dumont an hour before gametime and a guest DJ set a half-hour before gametime on the club's official
