Brendan Gallagher to be Inducted into Giants 'Ring of Honour'

Press Release

The Vancouver Giants are excited to welcome back one of the most popular players in team history on Saturday, February 15.

On this night, Giants’ all-time leading scorer and current spark-plug for the Montreal Canadiens, BRENDAN GALLAGHER, will be inducted into the Giants ‘Ring of Honour’ in a pre-game ceremony. Fans are encouraged to get to their seats early as we pay tribute to one of the most exciting players to ever wear a Giants uniform.

Drafted in the 9th Round of the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft, Gallagher went on to play 244 regular season games in a Giants uniform and set team records for most goals (136) and most points (280) in a career. He was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the 5th Round, 147th overall, in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and has since become a fan-favourite in Montreal.

The first 5,000 fans at the Saturday, February 15 game vs the Portland Winterhawks (7:00pm face-off) will receive a commemorative 8x10 collector piece, while 111 random lucky fans will get to meet Brendan during the game.
