The Canadiens didn't pile up 100 years of history without the blood, sweat and tears of the over 750 players to have ever worn the uniform. From the likes of Donald Audette to Zarley Zalapski, there are former Habs scattered all over the world. Although many hardcore Canadiens fans can rattle off the career accomplishments of hundreds of their old heroes, the question remains: what are these guys up to today? Today's guest: Joe Juneau.
A gritty left winger who spent nine seasons with the Canadiens from 1983-84 to 1991-92, McPhee helped lead the Habs to the Stanley Cup in 1986. The Sydney, NS native who represented the Habs at the 1989 NHL All-Star Game has been a busy man since retiring from the game following the 1993-94 season. Find out for yourself!
