Canadiens is spelt with an E because its in french and the actual name of the Montreal Canadiens is Le Club de Hockey Canadiens. and the CH stands for Club Hockey. the Habs where founded in 1909 the NHL was founded in 1917 and the Habs are celebrating their 100 anniversary in the 2008-09 season also hosting the 2009 All-Star game.

Habitants is the name used to refer to both the French settlers and the America-born inhabitants of French origin who farmed the land along the two shores of the St. Lawrence waterway in what is the present-day Province of Quebec in Canada.

Habitant (french) Habs (English) their was someone that told Tex owner of the Rangers back in the early years that the H on the sweater meant Habs which it doesn’t as i told you it means HOCKEY.

The franchise is officially known as Le Club de Hockey Canadien, but they are usually referred to as “Les Canadiens de Montréal” and their English name. Other French nicknames for the team include Le Canadien, Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge, La Sainte-Flanelle, Le Tricolore, Les Glorieux, Les Habitants and Le Grand Club. In English, the main nickname is the Habs.

and I’m HABITANT as you can see me and Ken Dryden mask.

it’s french.

why don’t you try going through a few of the questions before you ask one?

Habs is short for habitants which is what the french were called when they came to quebec.

The e is because it is french not english

they are called the habs because the french had colonized qubec ( montreal) and were call L’Habitents (sp?) so therefore they are called the habs.

You don’t have to learn French to go Quebec City or the Province . There are part of Quebec city that is Anglophone . The The whole city is an Attraction . The Chateau Frontenac as well Les Portes St Louis , Les Plaines Abraham La haute Ville and all the finest restaurants you can find . In Montreal would be the Old Montreal as well the Subway that can take you anywhere . There is all kinds of attractions downtown as well the comedy teather and restaurants . The city is very large and you may want to get on the Quebec tourism website . Ottawa is just fascinating as well you want to visit the Parliament and the Governor General’s house and the war museum and as well the Canadian mint .

Don’t listen to tapestry6. There is nothing wrong with Quebec. I visit every year. I am from Toronto. I have always been welcomed and I speak very bad French.

Montreal has more night life then Quebec City. And more people speak English fluently. We go there for the Comedy Festival every year and have a wild time. http://www.hahaha.com

Quebec is for lovers! It is old and charming. My b/f and I went for Christmas just past. It was wonderful. The restaurants are fabulous.
