Some History

The Montreal Canadiens are considered to be one of the richest teams when it comes to their history. They began in 1909 when the team was created by J. Ambrose O'Brien and joined the National Hockey Association. The team was named the Canadiens in reference to hard working people in Montreal. The term les Habitants is a French term that in its time was used to describe rugged farm settlers in Quebec. The Habs first game was on January 5, 1910 at the Jubilee Arena where they beat the Cobalt Silver Kings 7-6 in overtime. This season would see them wear a jersey that looks nothing like the Canadiens red, blue and white uniforms we know of. They wore a blue jersey with a white C on the front. There was also a white stripe that went across the chest, through the C and around the shoulders. The collar was actually a turtleneck style, which was also white.
