Ever wondered how your favourite Montreal Canadiens player stacks up against his teammates? This is your chance to see them shine at the Canadiens Skills Competition presented by RONA — an epic showcase of Habs hockey talent.

On February 22, 2026, your favourite players will take to the ice in a series of challenges to find out who is the best of the best (of the best) in five impressive hockey skills: fastest skater, relay, accuracy shooting, hardest shot and shootout.

RONA is dedicated to inspiring and supporting the next generation of hockey stars. The RONA Rookies program sponsors 150 youth hockey teams, made up of children and grandchildren of employees, helping them access gear and cover costs as they follow their hockey dreams.
