The NHL and its commissioner, Gary Bettman, recently honored Chantal Machabée in a unique way. Indeed, the Vice President of Communications for the Montreal Canadiens was awarded the prestigious Medal of Honor from the National Assembly of Quebec.
This gesture, unusual for the league, underscores the importance and impact of Machabée, often working behind the scenes, in the world of hockey and sports media. This official recognition speaks to her remarkable career, achievements, and dedication.
Machabée, a trailblazer in a traditionally male-dominated field, has paved the way for a new generation of women in sports media, particularly inspiring young girls. Her influence transcends the boundaries of sports to touch many lives.
In summary, this medal represents a fitting reward for an exceptional career, and we hope that Chantal Machabée is proud of it.
