2025 Montreal Memorable Moments: Canadiens, Victoire, Alliance, Messi, McGill, Alouettes, Rocket

I was lucky enough to go to some significant games this year. These are the most memorable moments from each of Montreal's teams from games that I attended. I included 2 moments for the Canadiens, since they were both very significant. For CF Montreal (Impact), the team was so bad this year that the best moment was provided by the opposition. Of course, when Lionel Messi is the opponent, it's not difficult to determine which moment was the best. For the Laval Rocket, they had a great 2024-25 season, finishing 1st overall in the AHL and advancing to the Eastern Conference Final, but it's hard to pick something other than the recent brawl vs. Toronto as the team's most memorable moment of 2025. The moments are shown in chronological order.

7:55 McGill Redbirds defeat Université de Montréal, 31-24, their 1st win vs. the Carabins in 23 years, snapping a 36-game losing streak on 9/20/25. Shown is the go ahead touchdown and game-clinching interception on the final play. But the Carabins went on to win the Vanier Cup.

9:23 Montreal Alouettes RB Stevie Scott III runs for a crazy 7-yard TD vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the winning points and Darnell Sankey's interception seals a wild 42-33 Eastern semi-final win on 11/1/25.
