baby seal
Canadian hockey hasn't given anyone much to cheer about since the Montréal Canadiens' last Stanley Cup victory 16 years ago. But if PETA has its way, Canadiens fans will get another chance to be victorious on the ice—the ice floes, that is.

The owner of the Montréal Canadiens is considering selling the team, and guess who's throwing an offer on the table? In our letter to team owner George Gillett, we're offering to pay $10,000 Canadian to rent the team for a week, during which time we'd change its name to the Canadian Seal Pups and encourage every spectator to sign and mail our postcards to Prime Minister Stephen Harper urging him to end the seal slaughter.

Give the seal pups some hockey sticks, and then let's talk about blood on the ice.

Heck even if it wasn't trying to get a message across thats still a pretty awsome name for a hockey team. :)

YES! Give the seals some sticks as they may improve the struggling Habs team for the playoffs. LOL

What are you talking about? No one is selling a great franchise like Canadiens!

Look at that adorable seal pup. What kind of person thinks "ok, I have to go club it to death now,"?

Why don't you assemble a team of hockey playing PETA members and challenge them to a televised exhibition game that week?

You could name the PETA team the Hakapiks.
