Based on Carrier’s childhood, The Hockey Sweater centres on a young Montreal Canadiens fan forced to don the colours of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In a statement, Carrier said: “I am thrilled that my story The Hockey Sweater that has brought back so many childhood memories for Canadians of all ages will now be told in such a spectacular way to celebrate Montreal’s 375th and Canada’s 150thanniversary.”

Select tickets are available now through the Segal Centre. For more information about the venue, call 514-739-7944 or visit segalcentre.org.
