For those who doubted that Carey Price’s career was really over, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Angela’s wife gave a big hint that the masked man is about to enter a different phase in his life.
On Sunday, the woman answered questions on her Instagram account. He was asked if his family would be back in Montreal next year.
“Looks like we’ll be returning to Kelowna after hockey season and if Liv [la plus vieille des enfants des Price] finish school,” Angela said.
The latter then responded to a subscriber who asked if the couple were selling their home.
“Yes, we do,” she said. Saying goodbye to this house and especially to our neighbors will be difficult for us.”
Carey Price was unable to play this year due to a recurring knee injury. Last October, the masked man said it would take a “small miracle” to return to the game one day.
His name was placed on the long-term injury list ahead of the start of this season and could remain so until the end of his contract at the end of the 2025-2026 season.
Price was selected in the first round (fifth overall) of the 2005 draft. In 712 games in a Habs uniform, he had a record of 361-261-79, 2.51 goals against average and a .917 batting efficiency. He won the Hart, Vézina, Jennings and Pearson trophies in 2015, then the Masterton trophy in 2021-2022.
The 35-year-old has missed most of this season due to injuries and personal reasons, making just five appearances in April. He went 1-4 with 3.63 goals against average and .878 save percentage.
