In memoriam

For the Montreal Canadiens' 100th anniversary, the organisation was selling commemorative plaques that would be put at the new Centennial Place they've built by the Bell Center.

I figured it would make sense to get one for my grand-father, who was just about as old as the club itself.. making him their oldest fan, for the longest time.

The plaques have finally been laid out... and I stopped by to see it yesterday.

When I ordered it, I asked them if they could place it by Maurice Richard's statue my grand-pa's favorite player of all time... the guy wasn't too convince they could, but incredibly they remembered and did it!

So here it is... a token of the Ferland's family "fandom" set in stone for History :P

that's where it is

That's what it says:
In memory of
Jacques Ferland
unconditional fan
from 1912 to 2007

My mom and uncles were very moved (I didn't tell them I was doing this), I just feel it's right :P
