H Celine Dion made a rare appearance Monday night, Oct. 30, at a hockey game in Las Vegas as he continues to battle the “Stiff Man Syndrome”.

The singer was seen for the first time since announcing her illness as the Montreal Canadiens took on the Vegas Golden Knights. In footage posted on InstagramCeline appeared to be in very good spirits as she greeted players and fans in the locker room after the match.

“A great visit to our game in Las Vegas yesterday”wrote Montreal vice president of hockey communications Chantal Machabée, along with photos she uploaded to Instagram. “Thank you Celine Dion for your generosity. The whole team was very happy to meet you and your family.”

Celine was accompanied by her sons René-Charles, 22, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, and the family posed with some of the athletes after the race.

“It’s a great honor to meet you,” Celine told coach Martin St. Louis in French in a video. “It was an incredible night.” He was also heard giving advice to hockey players, saying; “Just stay healthy, stay strong. Do what you do best.”

For her appearance on the court, she chose an ensemble in earth tones with overalls, sneakers and a beige jacket.

Celine Dion has kept a very low profile since announcing in 2022 that she was diagnosed with Moersch-Woltman syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes people to experience painful muscle spasms. Revealed her diagnosis last December, a fact that forced her to stop her “Courage World Tour”.
