Canadiens welcome Weber to Ring of Honor, celebrate Hall of Fame induction

Shea Weber topped off his week to remember in Montreal on Saturday.

The former Montreal Canadiens captain was inducted to the team’s Ring of Honor before their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Bell Centre.

The ceremony also celebrated Weber’s induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday.

He was one of the seven members of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024. Pavel Datsyuk, Jeremy Roenick, Natalie Darwitz, Krissy Wendell-Pohl, David Poile and Colin Campbell were also inducted.

Canadiens fans and players gave the retired defenseman a loud standing ovation as he walked out to center ice for the ceremony.

A special tribute video of Weber’s highlights with Montreal aired on the arena video board.

“He taught me a lot over my early career,” Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki said in the video. “[He’s] an amazing person, he really cared about everyone else. An amazing player at the same time. He brought so much to our group.”

Weber was emotional as the Canadiens unveiled his name and number in the arena rafters.

The former defenseman played five of his 16 NHL seasons with the Canadiens. He spent 11 seasons with the Nashville Predators. He finished his career with 589 points (224 goals and 365 assists) in 1,038 games.
