The Canadian confirms the arrival of a documentary series on its reconstruction

A few months ago, it was reported that the Canadiens were planning to present a behind-the-scenes documentary. It was a scoop from Jean Trudel.

At the time, there was talk of a 24CH-style concept, but under a different name.

This morning, the Habs confirmed that this will indeed be the case, and that JT was right. The club issued a press release to say that « La reconstruction : au coeur des Canadiens de Montréal » will land on Crave later in 2024.

Basically, over the course of eight one-hour episodes, Canadiens fans will be able to see what happened during the 2023-2024 season.

Of course, this will be done under the Habs’ watchful eye, which means we won’t see everything. That said, we can expect to see elements that aren’t usually available publicly.

As Anthony Marcotte points out, Crave’s people also went to see the Rocket in Laval at the end of the season to take some images for the Canadiens’ project.

Interesting stuff.

Fans will be able to listen to the project in either French or English. Marc-André Grondin and George Stroumboulopoulos will provide narration in both languages for the project.

Several moments will be featured (golf tournament, training camp, deadline, trip out West, fathers’ trip, etc.) in the club’s documentary series.

What fascinates me most is the fact that the project includes the word « reconstruction » in the title. We all know that the Habs are rebuilding, but the club hasn’t been afraid to hide it or say « the R word » for a few years now.

The goal, as stated in the Habs press release, will be to allow fans « to witness the passion that fuels a dynamic and competitive club in the making » via the documentary.

That’s what many people want: to understand the club’s process.

I wonder if the Habs are doing this precisely because they’re rebuilding and want to give their fans a sweet treat. But whatever the reason, I’m sure it will be well received by fans.
