- 8. Answers to some frequently asked questions:
-
- Q: Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the Habs?
- A: According to the magazine "Les Canadiens" (Number 2 of the 92-93
- season), the following is the origin of the nickname "Habitants/Habs":
- "Partial credit for this nickname actually goes to an American.
- Reporter Tex Rickard had picked up on a rumour (a false one, of course)
- someone had told him about the 'H' on the Canadiens' uniform. It seems
- that someone mentioned that it stood for "habitant", a French word that in
- those days was used to denote the farmers of Quebec.
- "'This guy told Tex that the French-speaking players on the team came
- from the country, and since they were "farmers", they were therefore
- "habitants!"' recalls Camille Desroches. 'Habs' is simply a short form of
- the word."
- "That was back in the mid-twenties. The Canadiens had just won the
- 1923-24 Stanley Cup, and two teams from New York were just joining the NHL
- (the Americans in 25 and the Rangers in 26). To understand Rickard's
- thinking, it helps to remember that this was also a period of intense
- development in a number of more remote regions of Quebec..."
-
- Q: Why is the Montreal Canadiens logo a large C with an H within it?
- A: In 1914-15, the Canadiens logo consisted of C with an A within it to
- signify Club Athletique Canadien (CAC). The next year, CAC no longer
