The Dec/Jan 2017 issue of Canada’s History is scheduled to hit newsstands on November 21st, 2016.

This time slot typically produces the best-selling issue every year! Editor Mark Reid says: “Dreaming of making the National Hockey League has long been a rite of passage for many young Canadians. And, for a select few, it was a dream come true."

To celebrate the centennial year of the NHL, Canada’s History is featuring a special package of stories recalling some of the greatest games every played. From the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Cup win in 1967, to  Paul Henderson’s winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series, we offer readers a rink-side view of the magical moments that made hockey “Canada’s Game.”

To illustrate our story, we chose for a cover image Jacques Plante’s 1974 goalie mask — and we are even offering a hand-made replica of the mask as a prize in a special NHL at 100 contest. Enter starting November 8th on the magazine's website.

Report from Press Release:

“Presse Commerce Corporation is proud of the reaction received from customers for the new stores in the McGill University Health Center six months after their opening. The MUHC combines the Royal-Victoria Hospital, the Children’s Hospital, the Montreal Chest Institute and the biggest Research Canada.

Some would say that it was a bold move to open new stores. In fact, the periodical sales in the Multimags grew by 1% when comparing 2015 to 2014. A bookstore, a newsstand and a toy store will entertain the MUHC’s 4.8 millions users of which: 47% are employees, 27% patients and 26% visitors.

Each stores offers a variety of products adapted to their specialty, but we made sure to give magazines an important place with in store giant screens to inform, promote and discover new titles.

In fact, the response has been so good since day one that the MUHC has agreed to organize a joint book fair with Multimags.”
