The Montreal Canadiens say they will be the first NHL team to have fans pick the three stars of their games online or by mobile phone.
The new system will be in place for the team's regular season home opener Wednesday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Beginning Wednesday, fans can download a free app' at bell.ca/canadiens that provides team news and statistics and allows fans to vote for the three stars of each game.
The stars were previously picked by the television broadcasters.
Team vice-president Ray Lalonde said that based on the number of fans who vote for the player of the game on the RDS website they expect between 5,000 and 10,000 votes per game, with more for the most important games.
The team will also produce a weekly 30-minute show on one of its players that will be available through Bell on mobile, television and online in November and December.
