Brisebois calls it a career
"MONTREAL - Veteran NHL defenceman Patrice Brisebois, twice a member of the Montreal Canadiens, will announce his retirement Thursday night at Montreal's Bell Centre.
Brisebois is to be awarded the Jean Beliveau Trophy before the game in what surely will be an emotional moment for the Stanley Cup winner.
The Beliveau trophy committee, comprised of members of the board of directors of the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation, evaluates candidates according to the effort, enthusiasm, implication and time invested in both collective and personal initiatives. They are also evaluated on their commitment, leadership and financial assistance to the causes close to their heart.
Often the target of Bell Centre boo-birds, Brisebois played his 1,000th NHL game last March and retires with fond memories of his time with the Canadiens, with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 1993."
Another by the wayside. Thanks for all the hard work and the memories, Patrice.
A player I used to love to hate.
