NHL teams face off! Cut out the two sets of dominoes in team colors on the following pages (along the
outside line only). Or make your own dominoes with different color combinations!
To play, shuffle up the dominoes and put them upside-down in a pile. Take one domino from the pile and
put it face up on the table. Taking turns with your partner, draw a domino from the top of the pile and try to
match it up with the domino that is on the table. Line up the squares color to word. If you cannot place
your domino that turn, keep it for the next turn when you may draw again and play both if you can. The first
person to get rid of all of their dominoes wins! Bonne chance!

Bruins: Champions!
En 2011, les Bruins de Boston sont les champions de
la Coupe Stanley ! Trente-neuf ans après avoir gagné
la Coupe en 1972, les Bruins ont remporté la Coupe à
Boston. Les partisans qui avaient attendu si longtemps
sont maintenant très heureux ! Jeunes et vieux, un
million de partisans des Bruins ont assisté au défilé à
Boston pour fêter la grande victoire.
Cette équipe championne en noir et en or était très
forte et dynamique. Elle était menée par leur capitaine, Zdeno Chara, le plus grand joueur de la LNH.
C’était une équipe profonde et diverse, composée de jeunes recrues comme Tyler Seguin et Brad
Marchand, et des joueurs expérimentés comme Chara, Tim Thomas et Mark Recchi. À l’âge de 43 ans,
Recchi était le plus âgé de l’équipe. À l’âge de 19 ans, Seguin était le plus jeune.
Tout le monde a contribué à la victoire pendant la saison régulière et les séries éliminatoires. Les
défenseurs de la ligne bleue, comme Dennis Seidenberg, Johnny Boychuk et Andrew Ference ont joué un
rôle très important. Quant aux attaquants, ils ont démontré leur grand talent offensif sur la glace. David
Krejci et Patrice Bergeron ont eu le plus grand nombre de points au cours

Québec avec Patrice Bergeron, la Colombie-Britannique avec Milan Lucic, l’Ontario avec Nathan Horton, et
l’Île-du-Prince-Edouard avec Adam McQuaid. Mais la Coupe a fait le tour de l’Europe aussi ! Elle a
accompagné Tuukka Rask en Finlande, Chara en Slovaquie, Krejci à la République Tchèque, et
