<< Finally? They didn't have it against the Bruins? >>



Then why are the Bruins playing golf?

 

[Dudd]

Just a quick question. Why are the habs called the habs? Is it from some French word or what? I've always heard them called the Habs, but never known what it meant.

The most often asked question about the Montreal Canadiens is what does the nickname " Habs " mean.

Legend wants it that the "H" on the Canadiens logo stands for "Habs" instead of Club de Hockey Canadien.
The fable began in 1924 when US reporter Tex Rickard was falsely informed by someone that the "H" stood
for "habitant", a french word that in those days was used to refer the farmers of Quebec.

Rickard was told that the french players on the team came from farms and were therefore, "habitants".
At the time, the Canadiens were viewed upon as the french team of Montreal, whereas the Montreal
Maroons were the English team.
