Canadiens Coach Martin St-Louis Surprises Fans by Appearing at Major Montreal Festival
The atmosphere was festive this past weekend at Jean-Drapeau Park, where thousands of attendees enjoyed the Lasso country music festival.
Amid cowboy hats and leather boots, one familiar face caught the attention of hockey fans: Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis.
Wearing a baseball cap and a casual t-shirt, St. Louis mingled with the crowd, enjoying performances by stars like Jelly Roll and Kelsea Ballerini.
Many festival-goers recognized him, with some sharing photos on social media. The former NHL star, known for his passion and leadership behind the Canadiens' bench, seemed to enjoy the warmth and energy of the Montreal audience in a setting very different from the Bell Centre.

A Fun Moment for the Canadiens' Head Coach
Attending without an official entourage, St. Louis enjoyed the evening simply. While some hoped to get insights on the upcoming Canadiens season, he stayed low-key, choosing to talk music rather than hockey.
The Lasso festival, which gains popularity each year, appears to attract an increasingly diverse audience, including local sports figures.
Martin St. Louis' presence confirms that the event, though centered on country music, extends beyond the genre and has become a must-see cultural gathering in Montreal.
Earlier this summer, captain Nick Suzuki and several other Canadiens were spotted at Osheaga!
As training camp approaches in September, Canadiens fans can enjoy seeing their coach take a moment to relax and perhaps draw inspiration from the country spirit.
