MONTREAL - Ever wondered what it's like to cover a Habs game as a member of the team's official radio broadcast partner?

Win the Rise Together "Catch a Canadiens Game at the Bell Centre with 98,5 FM!" auction item, and you and a guest can find out for yourselves.
Kick things off by enjoying a pregame meal in the Salon Jacques-Beauchamp media lounge with 98,5's host of Les Amateurs de Sport, Mario Langlois.
Then, head to the press box where you'll enjoy the game with Langlois himself, before walking over to the broadcast booth during the second intermission to spend some quality time with play-by-play announcer, Martin McGuire, and color commentator, Dany Dubé.

"It's a privilege to meet our listeners," said Dubé, who is already looking forward to welcoming the future visitors. "We're in their lives every day during the season. We try to do our best to give them what they want and what they need in terms of coverage - the atmosphere, the passion of the game, everything that comes with being around this unique franchise. We're privileged to have that contact. When they come in and start asking questions, it'll be just like a live edition of Les Amateurs de Sports."
Eager to watch the dynamic duo at work once the puck drops for the final frame? Count on it, according to the veteran broadcaster.
"We'll keep them there. That's the treat," affirmed Dubé. "It's something very unique, because when you're up above, everything slows down. The pace of the game all of a sudden is slower. When you watch the game from our studio, it's like driving your car. You see everything coming in advance. It's a great feeling. Plus, Marty is so enthusiastic with his play-by-play. He never wastes a split second following the puck. He's right on the mark. It makes you a different listener after that. You'll never listen to the game the same way after this experience."
