The Montreal Canadiens make an announcement involving Jordie Benn as he announces retirement
The Montreal Canadiens organization has just issued an official statement, notably to respond to the announcement of defenseman Jordie Benn's retirement.
Since the arrival of the excellent Chantal Machabée as Vice President of Hockey Communications for the Montreal Canadiens, and since the appointment of the Jeff Gorton/Kent Hughes tandem, it really feels like the organization is making an effort towards its ambassadors, but also towards former members of the organization.
Yesterday afternoon, important news broke regarding a former defenseman of the organization.
Jordie Benn announces his retirement after 12 seasons in the NHL.
Once again, the Montreal Canadiens organization has shown its great class in terms of communication by acknowledging this major announcement for Benn.
