"Andrei Markov Returns Home: Canadiens to Honor Legendary Defenceman on December 3"
The Montreal Canadiens are set to honor one of the most iconic figures in their history—Andrei Markov. On Wednesday, December 3, the Bell Centre will host a special “homecoming” ceremony before the game against the Winnipeg Jets, celebrating Markov’s remarkable 16-year tenure with the team.
Markov’s legacy with the Canadiens is undeniable. Over the course of 990 games, the Russian defenceman posted an impressive 119 goals, 453 assists, and 572 points. His playmaking ability, leadership, and consistency on the ice made him a fan favorite and one of the most respected figures in Montreal. Markov wasn’t just a key player on the ice, but the backbone of the team’s defense during his time with the franchise. His name will forever be etched in Canadiens history.
The tribute comes after a few years of bittersweet distance, following a contract dispute with then-general manager Marc Bergevin. After the 2016-17 season, Markov’s request for a two-year contract was met with only a one-year offer from Bergevin, leading Markov to leave Montreal for Russia, where he signed with Ak Bars Kazan in the KHL.
Markov’s time in the KHL was nothing short of successful. In his first season with Kazan, he helped the team win the Gagarin Cup, and in his second season, he continued to shine with 2 goals and 12 assists. But Markov never lost his desire to return to Montreal and reach the milestone of 1,000 career games with the Canadiens.
Despite his best efforts and hiring Allan Walsh as his agent in 2019, Markov’s request for a one-year contract was denied by the Canadiens. Instead, Markov concluded his playing career with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the KHL, retiring after one final season.
Reflecting on his time with the Canadiens, Markov shared, “Montreal will always be my home. I was fortunate to play here for 16 years, being part of this team and this city. Even though things have ended, my love and loyalty to the Canadiens will never change. Thank you all for always supporting me, and I’m proud to be a part of this team’s history."
Now, Markov will return to Montreal for one final tribute. Fans will have the opportunity to celebrate his unparalleled impact on the team and the city, paying homage to the player who became a pillar of the franchise.
The December 3 ceremony will not only be a celebration of Markov’s illustrious career but also a reminder of the mark he left on the Canadiens, forever a part of their legacy. As the Bell Centre lights up, it will be a moment of reflection, appreciation, and pride for all who followed Markov’s journey from start to finish.
