Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis got to meet his sitcom hero in person. St. Louis presented comedian Jerry Seinfeld with a Canadiens jersey at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, according to Montreal Gazette.
The festival posted a photo of the meeting on social media. It showed St. Louis alongside Seinfeld and festival president and CEO Sylvain Parent-Bédard, Calgary Herald reported.
St. Louis Admits He Falls Asleep to Seinfeld
St. Louis has said that Seinfeld is his favourite TV show. He told reporters he watches it to wind down during the playoffs. In fact, he admitted he often falls asleep to it, according to Montreal Gazette.
He made that comment after the Canadiens lost in overtime in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The loss made his nightly Seinfeld routine all the more fitting, Pincher Creek Echo noted.
Jersey Presentation at Place des Arts During Comedy Festival
The meeting happened during Seinfeld's run at Place des Arts as part of the Just for Laughs festival. St. Louis showed up and handed the comedian a Montreal Canadiens jersey, according to The Whig.
Just for Laughs is one of the world's biggest comedy festivals. It is held every year in Montreal. Seinfeld performing there made the crossover between hockey and comedy possible, Hanna Herald reported.
A Coach Known for More Than Hockey Strategy
St. Louis took over as head coach of the Canadiens in 2022. He is a Hall of Fame winger and one of the most beloved players in NHL history. Off the ice, he is clearly a devoted Seinfeld fan, Northern News noted.
Moments like this one show a lighter side of the coach. Even during a tough playoff series, St. Louis found time to meet his favourite comedian and give him a piece of Montreal hockey history, Pembroke Observer reported.
