MONTREAL – If you thought you caught a glimpse of former Canadiens defenseman Jaroslav Spacek in town recently, your eyes weren’t deceiving you.
Though he only called Montreal home for a little over two years, it was enough time for Spacek to fall in love with the city. Traded by the Canadiens to the Carolina Hurricanes in December 2011, Spacek decided to return to his native Czech Republic to wrap up his professional career where it all began.
The 42-year-old, who celebrated his birthday this past Thursday, recently made a rare visit to Montreal.
