Does it get any sweeter than backstopping your team in a deep Stanley Cup playoff run? Jakub Dobeš would say so.
The presumably sweet-toothed Canadiens goaltender found himself in Saint-Henri bakery Bernice on Tuesday to take in a sugary treat named after him.
The “Dobes Puck Cookie” was introduced at Bernice, on Notre-Dame Street, last week, as the Habs began their Eastern Conference final against the Carolina Hurricanes – a playoff milestone made possible by Dobeš’ puck-stopping prowess between the pipes.
The bakery said the six-ounce chocolate chunk puck-shaped cookie was created in honour of Dobeš’ “exceptional performance.”
They just never expected the man himself to walk through the door and order a box of his namesake baked good.
“Today we had the privilege of welcoming the (city’s) legend, @4doby4 and his family to (endorse) his very own cookie ‘The Dobes Puck Cookie.’ Wishing him and his teammates @canadiensmtl, the best of luck in the 2026 Stanley cup series. #gohabsgo,” the bakery wrote on Instagram alongside photos of the young Canadiens netminder.

The cookie may have been an early birthday treat to himself, as Dobeš is celebrating his 25th birthday Wednesday. Fans are hoping his gift to them is lifting the Canadiens back into the series with a Game 4 victory in Montreal.
