Good news as Molson's will be buying the Habs back from Gillett. I was worried they'd be bought by an American and moved somewhere.

The Montreal Canadiens are returning to familiar hands.
George Gillett has reached an agreement in principle to sell the storied hockey franchise and the Bell Centre to the Molson family, the National Hockey League team announced Saturday.
A news conference will be held when the deal is finalized following approval by the league's board of governors. The vote is expected in late August.
In a statement released by the Canadiens, Gillett said he was pleased to return the ownership of the Canadiens to the Molson family, which has been associated with the team for more than three generations.
