On June 16, 2022, Shea Weber officially left the Canadiens. In fact, he was traded for Evgenii Dadonov.
Carey Price has not played a single game with the team since the end of the 2021-2022 season. However, his contract with CH runs until July 1, 2026.
Why am I speaking to you about these two this Friday evening, March 1, 2024, when neither has played in a game for several seasons? Because they will be inducted into the BC Hall of Fame this year.

Shea Weber played four seasons with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. The defenseman, who already had a powerful shot at that age, helped his team win their first two WHL titles.
The Rockets also won a Memorial Cup in 2004.
In four seasons (2001-2002 to 2004-2005) he collected 91 points, including 26 goals. The former Canadian captain says he feels honored to have played his amateur and junior hockey in British Columbia.
I have been fortunate enough to play my entire minor and junior hockey career in British Columbia and to receive this call means a lot to me. –Shea Weber
As for Price, he didn't play his junior hockey there (he played in Tri-City, a city in Washington state), but he is from Anahim Lake and played his amateur hockey there. He is also very happy.
I am proud to be from British Columbia and to be inducted into the Hall alongside a former teammate.
The gala will take place this summer. In addition to the two former Canadian players, Tom Kowal (official) and Scott Bradley (businessman) will also be included.
Much
– Defeat of the rocket.

Did you know? : With his goal in the second period against the Flyers, Alex Ovechkin passed Wayne Gretzky for the most goals in NHL history… in March! 😅
145 goals in 245 games in March for the Russian! 🔥
