Samuel Montembeault Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Pierre Houde on 50th Anniversary
On the occasion of Pierre Houde's 50th career anniversary, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Samuel Montembeault, along with several other figures from Quebec's hockey world, took the time to send him an emotional message.
When we think of the Montreal Canadiens on television, Pierre Houde's name immediately comes to mind. For five decades now, he has been the voice accompanying the team's games, victories, and also its more difficult moments.
I think I speak for everyone when I say that Houde has left his mark on the Canadiens for us, and he has always done an incredible job.
This week, during a celebration to highlight his 50-year career, one particular tribute stood out.
It came from Sam Montembeault, the Canadiens' goaltender, who wanted to say a few words to someone he considers a true legend.
Sam Montembeault Highlights Pierre Houde's Importance in His Journey
The young Quebec-born goaltender did not hesitate to pay tribute to the man behind the microphone as he recalled his childhood:
"Since I was a kid, you've been the voice of the Montreal Canadiens, it's always been pleasure to listen to you." - Sam Montembeault
These words perfectly show Pierre Houde's influence, not only on hockey fans but also on the players themselves.
As for me, I have to admit, I have no shame in saying that he marked my childhood. Every game I watched at home is associated with Pierre Houde.
I grew up listening to him describe games, and I know I'm not the only one.
Honestly, I believe very few voices in Montreal and Quebec sports have had such an impact.
As he celebrates his 50th career anniversary, this tribute seems so well deserved, because a Canadiens game without his voice has never had the same flavor.
