Local hero Georges St-Pierre was on hand to drop the ceremonial puck ahead of the Montreal Canadiens-Toronto Maple Leafs game at the Bell Centre Saturday.

St-Pierre was joined by Michael Bisping - his opponent for the middleweight championship at UFC 217, along with UFC president Dana White. The Canadian superstar was loudly greeted by the Canadiens' fan base, while Bisping received a chorus of boos.

St-Pierre was also gifted a Canadiens jersey donning his name and the 217 number, a nod to his upcoming fight.

St-Pierre also met with Canadiens star goaltender Carey Price ahead of the game.

Greatness begets further greatness, and the Canadiens are hoping that St-Pierre gives them an extra edge against their arch-rival.
