The video published by the Tricolore, summarizing Patrik Laine's first day in the CH universe, gave rise to a hilarious moment.
Tricolore fans, as well as blogs like ours, love to see behind-the-scenes glimpses of the CH. The latest video shows Patrik Laine arriving at the Bell Centre for the first time, accompanied by his significant other.
In the video shared above, there's a funny and unexpected scene where his partner almost committed a terrible faux pas against the organization.
A cute little blooper that made us laugh and showed how important the CH logo already is to Laine. It's crucial to protect the club's image at all costs, no matter who it is... The Finn has clearly understood that!
For those who have never played hockey, you should know that there's an unwritten rule: it is strictly forbidden to step on the team's logo in the middle of the locker room. It's seen as bad luck or, worse, as a sign of disrespect to the organization.
You respect the logo you play for! When you're paid 8.7 million a year, it's the least you can do, right?
Obviously, Patrik Laine's girlfriend wasn't aware of this tradition and unwritten rule, but it gave us a funny and unexpected moment.
In the same video, you can see Laine discovering his new arena and work environment. The couple looks happy in their new home city.
Patrik Laine wanted to play hockey in Canada. For him, it's important that hockey be the top priority, and he needs the support of the fans. He wants to feel at home and appreciated by those around him. The young man needs to build his confidence after difficult seasons in Columbus and Winnipeg.
Everything seems to be going well.
His girlfriend, Jordan Leigh, has started learning French and has made it her mission to speak a little bit every day. It's quite a change from some of the team's captains who didn't speak a word of French after a decade in Montreal.
It's a gesture that speaks volumes about their desire to integrate into their new home.
