MONTREAL - On the first night of the Stanley Cup final, a convoy of trucks waving Montreal Canadiens flags arrived outside the rink in Anahim Lake, B.C., where Carey Price played hockey as a kid.
The convoy wound its way for about 60 kilometres, honking horns and stopping in different Indigenous communities in the region inhabited by the Ulkatcho First Nation.
Lynda Price, Carey s mother, is chief of the First Nation. And while the Vancouver Canucks are the closest NHL team at some 12 hours drive away, it s the Canadiens and its star goaltender that are celebrated in the community of about 1,500 people.

AP source: Coyotes to hire Tourigny has head coach
By JOHN MARSHALLJuly 1, 2021 GMT
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Coyotes are hiring veteran NHL assistant and junior coach Andre Tourigny as head coach, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the official announcement won’t come until a Thursday morning news conference.
Tourigny replaces Rick Tocchet, who was fired May 9 after the Coyotes failed to reach the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons.
The 47-year-old Tourigny has spent the past four seasons as coach and vice president of hockey operations for the Ottawa 67s in the junior Ontario Hockey League. He previously served as an assistant coach with the Colorado Avalanche and Ottawa Senators.
