David Mulder, the team's long-tirue chief physician, has witnesseilplenty of high-stakesdrama, both on and off the ice. by Brendan Kelly, BA'85 David Mulder hasbeen tending to the medicalneeds of the Montreal Canadiensfor decades (Photo:Bernard BraulVl-a Presse) Thereare few sportsteams in the world as steepedin history asthe Monfeal Canadiens.Diehard Habsfans can easily corfure up dozensof imagesfrom theteam's storied past. Maurice Richard'sfiery glare.Guy Lafleur on a breakaway,his hair whippedback. Patrick Roy's tauntingwink after foiling a scoringattempt. Someof the most memorablemoments, though, have been downright scary.Former Habs forward Trent McCleary, gaspingfor air after apuck slammedinto his throat. Winger Max Pacioretfy,motionless on the ice, following a devastatinghit from toweringBoston Bruins defencemanZdeno Chara. In his own way, Dr. David Mulder,MSc'65, has been an instrumentalpart of the Canadiens'rich history.As the team'slong-time chief physician,Mulder played a key role in ensuringthat Pacioretty'spromising career could continue, and that McClearydidn't die asa resultof his freakinjury. Mulder is McGill's H. RockeRobertson professor of surgeryand the formersurgeon-in-chief for the McGill UniversityHealth Centre's Montreal General Hospital. He is renownedfor his expertisein traumacare. Mulder was oneof the doctorswho tendedto the woundedfollowing the shootingsat DawsonCollege and the EcolePolytechnique. A perilous sport , Montreal Canadiensforward Max Paciorettychats with Mulder (Paul Chiasson/CanadianPress) He hasalso beenstitching up hockeyplayers for the past 50 years,starting with the Junior Canadiensback in the early sixties.After spendingmuch of the pastfive decadesin ice rinks, Mulder is ableto providea uniqueperspective on how hockeyinjuries have changed over that period. He sayshockey is almostcertainly a moredangerous game now. "I think therehave been more life-threateninginjuries in the last l0 yearsthan therewere [in previousdecades]," says Mulder. "And it's interestingbecause people wore lessequipment back then.Some people believe playrng with a helmetgives you moreprotection so you takemore risks.Some people think it's relatedto players[having less] respect for oneanother. I think it's partly relatedto the speedof the gameand the fact the playersare a lot heaviernow." Onething is certain,says Mulder. Hockey has never been risk-free. o'It's a gamethat's played on ice at high speed,with sharpskates, pucks traveling at high speeds,rigid boards-allof thoseare factorsin hockeyinjuries. o'The "I think we'll seea deathin the NHL some[day]," saysMulder. worst casewe everhad wasthe McClearyincident. But Paciorettywas in the sameballpark." In a gameat the MolsonCentre between the Habsand the Flyersin 2000,McCleary, a Canadienswinger, suffereda fracturedlarynx and a collapsedlung after being hit in the neck by a speedingpuck. Mulder was one of the doctorsat the gamewho rushedto his side andwas part of a surgicalteam that performedan emergencytracheotomy. He believesMcCleary is still alive, in part, becausehe was transportedto an operatingroom at the Montreal GeneralHospital so swiftly. Another frighteningmoment for Mulder was the Paciorettyincident. The promisingpower forward suffereda severeconcussion and a fracturedcervical vertebra. "It happenedright in front of me. I couldsee when he went downthat he wasrmconscious." Mulder's initial concern wasthat Pacioretty'sneck might havebeen broken. "I wasterrified." Paciorettymade'afull recovery and he wasgrateful for the medicalattention he receivedfrom Mulder andhis MontrealGeneral Hospital colleagues. The player created a charitablefoundation to helppise funds for magneticresonance imaging equipment for the hospital's TraumaticBrain InjurS,Centre. Frightening news Canadiensteam doctors Vincent Lacroix (top left) andMulder escortHabs centre Lars Eller off the ice after the player sufferedan injury during a playoff game(Photo: Graham Hughes/CanadianPress) Paciorettyisn't the only hockeyplayer to involve himself in fi.rnd-raisingfor the Montreal GeneralHospital after experiencinga personalhealth crisis. The SakuKoivu Foundation, launchedby the popular former captainof the Habs,raised millions of dollarsto purchasea positronemission tomography (PET) scanner for the hospital. Mulder vividly recallsthe circumstancessurrounding Koiw's unexpectedbout with cancer. "It really cameout of the blue." Koivu's wife calledMulder's office earlyone morning to saythe Finnish centrewas experiencingabdominal pain. Koivu went to visit Mulder andthe doctor quickly orderedup a seriesof tests."I [originally]thought he hadappendicitis," Mulder recalls. Oncethe resultswere in, the medicalteam quickly determinedthat the Habs starhad B-cell lymphoma. But within hours,Mulder and his colleaguesrealized it was much worse.Koivu had non- Hodgkinslymphoma, a particularly dangerousform of cancer.Koivu receivedhis chemotherapy and radiotherapytreatments at the MUHC. When Koivu triumphantlyretumed to the Canadienslineup, his headstill bald from his treatments,the Bell Centrewas rockedby a thunderousovation from the crowd. "The most emotionalnight of my career,"says Mulder. Mulder saysthe Koivu caseillustrates how deepthe ties run betweenthe team,its medicalstaff andthe McGill Univgsity Health Centre,and how this providesthe Habswith an exhaordinary networkof medicalexpertise. "It's beenio .rror-orrs confidencebooster that we havethe brightestminds in nearlyevery disciplipeat McGill," saysMulder. "It's sucha closerelationship. And so muchof the creditthat is givfurto [the Habsmedical team] really belongsto the relationshipbetween McGill andthe hockeyclub. It's a really importantcoalition." A longstandingrelationship He notesthat the relationshipdates back to the dayswhen the Habsbegan playing at the Montreal Forum and Montreal GeneralHospital medicalstaJf were locatedalmost literally acrossthe street,housed in a buildingthat now servesas the MontrealChildren's Hospital. "The playersused to walk backand forth," saysMulder. "Elmer Lachtells me that whenhe had his nosebroken, he'd put on his skateguards, walk across,have it setand come back and play." Mulder beganworking with the Habsorganization in 1963.He hadjust arived from Saskatchewanto begin as a surgicalresident at McGill, andwas hired to work with the Montreal Junior Canadiens.They playedevery Sundayafternoon at the Forum andMulder and a coupleof otherMcGill residentswere paid ten bucksa game.The junior teamincluded many soon-to-be NHL players,among them, future HabsR6jean Houle andMarc Tardil and Buftalo Sabresfirst- roundpick Rick Martin. "At that time, no onewore aface maskor a helmet,so our primaryjob was to sutureup the o'There cuts,"says Mulder. weresignificantly more eye injuries and dental injuries [back then]." Next, he went on to work with theNova ScotiaVoyageurs, the Habs'American Hockey League franchiseand a teamwhose roster included future Hockey Hall of FamersKen Dryden and Larry Robinson.After working with the Voyageurs,Mulder madethe move to the Big Teamand becamesurgical helper to DouglasKinnear, who wasthe team'shead physician till 1998.Mulder took overas head doctor for the Canadiensafter Kinnear. his mentor.retired. Oneof the biggestchanges that Mulderhas observed in recentyears has been the increased attentiongiven to headinjuries in hockey,particularly concussions. While it seemsas if these injuriesare on the rise,Mulder suspectsthis increaseis partly dueto the fact that we're better equippedto identifuconcussions today. "'We'rerecognizing concussions in a morescientifrc way," saysMulder. ooThe NHL is beingvery proactiveby havingevery player get a baselineneuro-psych test. So after [a player]gets a hit, we havebetter metrics in termsof determiningif they areconcussed." He addsthat teams are far morecareful today in their assessmentof playerswith headinjuries, preferring to err on the side of caution. Still, he thinksthe leaguecould do more. "I think adoptionof tle Internationallce HockeyFederation's rules which penalizeall headhits andban fighting. completely [is a goodidea]." After servingas the Habs' chiefphysician for l3 years,Mulder recently passed the torchto McGillpolleagueVincent Lacroix, BSc'86, MDCM'90, MedResident'94. As Mulderscales back his inyolvementwith the team,Lacroix has taken on the leadrole. Lacroix is no strangerto the Habsorganization, having served on the toam'smedical staff from 1993to 2003.He hasbeen the headphysician for the MontrealAlouettes for the past17 years. "The biggestchallenge is gettingused to the beat,"says Lacroix, an assistantprofessor of family medicineat McGill. "The volumeof gamesis significantlygreater in hockey[than football]." For his part,Mulder isn't evencomfortable calling his long associationwith the Canadiens"a job." oolview it asa privilege.It's an honourand it's fun. Theorganization is first-rate."

  • The Montreal Forum: the Final Season?
    Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Department of Art History, Concordia University The Montreal Forum: The Final Season? Rob Coles September 2010 Cynthia I. Hammond, ed. Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Coles 1 As a site of identity for the multiple affiliations of the people of Montreal, the Montreal Forum represents much more than a hockey arena. Between 1924 and 1996, the Forum hosted thousands of events, from professional hockey, to rock concerts, circus performances, religious gatherings, professional wrestling and events of the 1976 Summer Olympics. In 1996 the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club, the main occupants of the site, moved from the Forum to the Molson (now Bell) Centre. After the departure of the Canadiens was announced, many Montreal residents feared that the Forum would be destroyed. A huge public outcry to save the building ensued. The Forum was ultimately saved and transformed into an entertainment complex called the Pepsi Forum that incorporated some memorabilia from the site’s history into its design. With this attempt to keep the local affect of the Forum alive in mind, this essay asks why so many were opposed to the demolition of the Forum? Was the adaptive re-use of the Forum successful in capturing the essential and important aspects of the building for its fans? The Montreal Forum was a key site of expression and identity in Montreal not only for supporters of the Canadiens hockey team. For the city’s francophone population and fans of popular music, the Forum was also important. As this essay demonstrates, while the Pepsi Forum includes memorabilia in its interior design, important connections between the Forum and the rise of Quebec nationalism are only summarily represented, as is the impact of the Forum as a key music venue in Montreal; the “Forum Gallery”, a small museum located on the second floor of the building, is out of the view and spatial experience of most visitors today.

True heroes are all around us, demonstrating each day humanity, service to others, and tireless efforts to do their part to help the best they can, however they can, in the face of monumental challenge. So many faces have emerged to touch and inspire us all with the work they have done to care for com- plete strangers throughout an uncertain time and unprecedented health crisis. Doctors, nurses, workers providing essential services, and others on the front lines have proven time and again to be heroes de- serving of our utter respect and appreciation, so it is why we are writing you today to demonstrate just a small measure of our collective thanks for your continuing efforts. The Montreal Canadiens, in proud partnership with IGA, would like to formally invite you and members of your immediate family to be the sole attendees at an upcoming Canadiens game at the Bell Centre. You will have the comfort of a luxury suite to yourself in a safe and secure environment, and around the game it would be our honor to salute your work both on our digital channels and in-broadcast. In addition to living this very unique experience, IGA would like to offer you $1,000 in groceries redeemable at any of their stores.
