As Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine gears up for his debut season with his new team, his fiancée Jordan Leigh has turned to social media for advice on settling into their new city.
Laine, recently acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Jordan Harris and a 2026 second-round pick, is focused on his training as the Canadiens’ training camp approaches.
Meanwhile, fiancée Jordan Leigh has reached out to Canadiens fans via social media, seeking tips on adjusting to life in Montreal and recommendations for a French tutor.
«What do I need to know before moving to Montreal? And also, if anyone knows a French teacher, please send me their contact details,” Leigh posted on her personal account.
The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing their favorite aspects of the city. A notable highlight was the city’s famous poutine, which Leigh humorously addressed in a follow-up post.
«I don’t know what poutine is, but it looks like I’m absolutely about to find out. Thanks for the love, everyone! I’m taking note!»
This warm welcome from fans has been a comfort for the couple as they transition to Montreal. This move represents a fresh start for Laine, who has faced a challenging period marked by injuries and mental health struggles, including time spent in the NHL/NHLPA Players Assistance Program. Recently, Laine and Leigh launched the «From Us To You» initiative to support mental health awareness and provide resources for others facing similar challenges.
«We are so excited to finally be able to share what we have been working on. This project is close to our hearts, and we hope that by creating From Us to You, we can open up a safe space for discussion, support, resources, and growth together,» Laine shared.
As the 2024-25 season approaches, fans are eager to see how Laine performs with the Canadiens. His standout season came in 2017-18 with the Winnipeg Jets, where he scored 44 goals and tallied 70 points in his second NHL year.
