In a bid to bring the spirit of hockey back to the streets, a motion has been put forward in the National Assembly of Quebec to persuade the National Hockey League (NHL) to allow public viewing parties of Montreal Canadiens games in Gatineau. The motion, tabled by local MNA Pascal Berube, aims to capitalize on the strong rivalry between the Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators, and tap into the enthusiasm of Sens fans who live just across the Ottawa River in Gatineau. If successful, the motion could pave the way for outdoor viewing parties in the city, giving fans a chance to gather and cheer on their favorite team in a festive atmosphere. The NHL has strict rules governing public viewing parties, but the motion's proponents argue that allowing fans to gather in Gatineau would be a win-win for both the city and the league.
