A Taste of Playoff Spirit: Kettlemans’ Habs-Inspired Bagel

There’s something truly special about playoff season in Montreal. The city comes alive, streets buzzing, jerseys everywhere, and a shared energy that brings the entire community together. At Kettlemans Bagel, we wanted to capture that feeling in the best way we know how: through fresh, authentic Montreal bagels.

That’s why we created our Habs-inspired bagel, a vibrant, hand-rolled bagel made with red, white, and blue dough in celebration of the Montreal Canadiens as they make their playoff run.

More Than Just a Bagel

This bagel isn’t just about bold colours, it’s about community, pride, and tradition. Like every Kettlemans bagel, it’s crafted using time-honoured Montreal techniques: hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and baked fresh to deliver that signature slightly sweet, perfectly chewy bite Montreal is known for.

But during the playoffs, it takes on an even bigger meaning.

The red, white, and blue twist represents more than team colours, it’s a symbol of fans coming together, whether it’s at watch parties, around kitchen tables, or picking up bagels before puck drop. It’s a small but meaningful way to feel connected to something bigger.

Celebrating Montreal Together

Playoff hockey has a unique way of uniting Montreal. No matter where you are in the city, there’s a shared sense of excitement and pride. At Kettlemans, we’re proud to be part of that, creating something that brings people together and adds to the experience.

From early morning coffee runs to pre-game traditions, our Habs bagel has quickly become a part of how fans celebrate.

Because here in Montreal, it’s never just about the game, it’s about the community behind it.

Supporting Our Local Team

As the Canadiens push forward in the playoffs, we’re cheering right alongside the rest of the city. Supporting our local team isn’t just about watching the games, it’s about showing up, celebrating, and sharing in those moments together.

And if we can play even a small role in that, by serving up a bagel that sparks conversation, excitement, and connection, then we’ve done our job.

So whether you’re hosting friends, heading to a watch party, or just grabbing your favourite spread, make it a little more festive with our Habs-inspired bagel.

Because nothing says Montreal like a fresh bagel, and nothing brings the city together like playoff hockey.
