Montreal Canadiens - Team
History & Information
The current team colours are red, blue
and white. These colours have been used in combination since
1914. The Canadiens' colours are an important part of French
Canadian culture. In the short story "The
Hockey Sweater", Roch
Carrier described the influence of the Canadiens and
their jersey within rural Quebec communities during the 1940s. The
story was later made into an animated short, The Sweater,
narrated by Carrier. A
passage from the short appears on the 2002 issue of the Canadian
five dollar bill.
One of sport's oldest and most recognizable
logos, the classic 'C' and 'H' of the Montreal Canadiens
was first used together in the 1917–18 season, when
the club changed its name to Club de hockey Canadien from
Club athlétique Canadien, before
evolving to its current form in 1952–53. The 'H' does
not stand for 'Habs' or Habitants;
this is a misconception. It actually stands for 'Hockey',
as in 'Club de hockey Canadien', the official name of the
team. According to NHL.com, the first man to refer to the
team as "the Habs" was American Tex
Rickard, owner of the Madison
Square Garden, in 1924. Rickard apparently told a reporter
that the "H" on the Canadiens' sweaters was for "Habitants.
