Montreal Canadiens history
Founded in 1909, the Canadiens are the oldest pro hockey team still operating anywhere and the only NHL club older than the league itself. Officially they are the Club de hockey Canadien, and fans call them the Habs. They also belong to the Original Six, the group that formed the whole league from 1942 to 1967.
Montreal has won the Stanley Cup 24 times, more than any other franchise. For seven decades the team played at the Montreal Forum, where it won all but its first two Cups. Since 1996 home has been the Bell Centre, which seats 20,962. No Canadian team has won the Cup since the Canadiens did it in the 1992 season.
