MONTREAL, QC — It was a season filled with unforgettable highlights, jaw-dropping saves, and raw locker-room emotions. As the ice settles on the 2025-26 NHL campaign, the official photography team for the Montreal Canadiens has combed through tens of thousands of frames to bring fans the ultimate visual tribute.
Today, we are proud to unveil the Top 100 Photographs of the 2025-26 Season, capturing the essence of Bleu-Blanc-Rouge hockey from opening night all the way to the final horn.
Capturing the heartbeat of the Bell Centre
This year’s exclusive collection goes far beyond standard game-action shots. Our lens technicians spent the season embedded with the team, securing unprecedented access to bring fans closer to their heroes than ever before.
The curated list of 100 images features a dynamic mix of perspectives:
- The Big Moments: Exploding celebrations following overtime winners and the iconic ritual of saluting the Bell Centre faithful.
- The Frozen Details: Micro-shots of ice spraying off razor-sharp skates during intense puck battles along the boards.
- Behind Closed Doors: Quiet, candid moments of focus in the tunnel just seconds before the team storms onto the ice under the flashing lights.
According to the head of the photography crew, choosing just one hundred frames from a year packed with historic milestones was an agonizing process. «We wanted to create a visual timeline that makes fans feel the exact temperature of the arena and the adrenaline of the game,» they shared. «Every wrinkle of emotion on the players’ faces tells a story.»
