On Saturday, the Montreal Canadiens shared a touching video on their YouTube channel featuring Patrik Laine and his fiancée, Jordan Leigh. In the video, the couple goes shopping for gifts for underprivileged children as part of the "Operation Père Noël" program in Montreal.

Patrik and Jordan were excited to participate in this special event. The video started with the couple sitting in their car and talking to the camera:

"Hey guys, Patty and Jordan here," Patrik says at the start of the video.

"Today, we’re super excited because we’re going to go shopping for Operation Père Noël,” Leigh said.

They had a list of gifts to buy and Laine expressed that he wants to get everything needed for the kids. They started the car and drove towards a supermarket to get the items.

They had a small chit-chat inside the car in which Leigh shared her Christmas plan. This year, the couple is happy to be close to Patrik Laine’s family in Boston.

"Christmas is definitely something that we look forward to. It's kind of crazy, because Christmas on a hockey schedule can be a little bit nu*s," Leigh said. "This year we're really excited because we're close enough to Boston, to my family, to be able to drive over there. And we’re going to put Boogie in the car. And... go see my family."

Patrik also shared that he enjoys the process of gift-giving:

"I think for me, giving gifts... that’s... that's always fun. I'm more of a gift giver. I’m not... I’m not big on receiving them. And then just eat. Eat for three days pretty much."

They purchased winter coats, mittens, soccer shoes and scooters.

The couple were joking and laughing throughout the video. At one point, they commented that they did not find any "Pattys" in the store. In the end, they were happy with their purchases and checked out.
