Dear Santa ,
I am eleven years old.
I have pictures of me when I was a baby wearing a Montreal Canadiens sweater. I obviously do not remember because I was too young. My Dad would always buy me a Canadiens’ sweater and put me on his knee while watching the games on television. He did the same with my Brother when he was born.
As we got older and could understand – my Daddy would tell us of all the great players that he grew up watching that wore a red , white and blue sweater.Guy Lafleur and Ken Dryden were his heroes. He would tell us how Guy Lafleur would electrify the people each and very time he touched the puck. He told us that the Canadiens back then were built on speed. How they made hockey beautiful to watch. My dad always said that it was as if the ice was a canvas and the players would turn it into a beautiful piece of art.
My Dad said that the team changed one day. They hired some guy named Houle to run the team and another ex – player to coach. My Dad says that those two changes set the Montreal Canadiens back ten years. It is only recently that they have begun to draft better and put a complete team on the ice once again.
My Daddy says the current team is filled with so much talent and he gets mad because the coach does not let them play like they can.
Please Santa , can you make my Dad happy and make sure the Montreal Canadiens fire Jacques Martin . We know that he misses us and this would cheer him up .
Thank you.
Sincerely ,
Francesca and Owen Keene
