Montreal Canadiens History
With an NHL-record 24 Stanley Cup Championships, eight conference championships, 24 division titles, and a Hall of Fame contingent of more than 50 players and more than a dozen coaches and executives, the Canadiens have an unrivaled pedigree.
The team, founded in 1909 as part of the National Hockey Association (forebear to the NHL), won its first Stanley Cup Championship in 1916. Behind legendary center Howie Morenz, Montreal added championships in 1924, 1930 and 1931. The latter two titles came at the Montreal Forum, the arena they would call home for 70 years. In 1942 the league was reduced to six teams; the Candiens were selected as one of the remaining teams to form the “Original Six” and the foundation of the league we know today.
With eventual Hall of Fame right wing Maurice ("Rocket") Richard anchoring the "Punch Line" with Elmer Lach and Toe Blake, the Canadiens won a Stanley Cup Championship in 1944 and '46. Blake would return as head coach in the next decade, piloting them to five consecutive Stanley Cup Championships between 1956 and 1960. The Canadiens won four more Stanley Cup Championships in the 1960s (three under Blake).
Sparked by future Hall of Famers such as Guy Lafleur, Ken Dryden and Larry Robinson, the Habs earned six Stanley Cup Championships in the 1970s — five with Scotty Bowman at the helm. Bowman would go on to become the winningest coach in NHL history.
The Canadiens won six division championships and three conference titles and made the Playoffs every year in the 1980s, adding one Stanley Cup Championship to their resumé when they defeated the Calgary Flames to close out the 1985-1986 season behind the goaltending of rookie Patrick Roy. They returned to the Finals in 1993, again behind Roy, to beat the Los Angeles Kings.

Immersion at its best! First time at a field hockey game, and in North America at that. An incredible sense of show. Festive, family atmosphere. A suspenseful match, with a penalty shootout at the end. I recommend
Vraiment une belle expérience et un match excitant. Beaucoup de confort et toutes les commodités du moins au niveau 100 dans les rouges. Et sans oublier Catherine au bar expérience Chic Choc Rhum épicé.
Every hockey fan must see a game at the Bell Center at least once. The crowd was on fire. Didn't hurt that the Habs won 9-3 haha!
Nothing compares to watching a hockey game in Montreal.
Nous avons eu la vue obstruée tout le match par un cameraman
La première fois au canadiens pour ma cocotte de 8 ans et elle a trippé. Photo avec Youppi avant la partie, visite de la boutique et l'ambiance aussi durant les pauses. Nous avons adoré le DJ c'est super 🤙 À l'année prochaine 😃
Excellent Service By The Bell Center Staff, Made The Event enjoyable, actually makes me want to return for further events
The hockey game was wonderful!! Venue clean and easy to navigate. Seats were up high but could see everything! Bruins are my team but Canadiens are my next favorite! Loved everything about it.
Great experience for my son Christopher. It was his 1st Habs game and they defeated the Blue Jackets 3-0. Way to go Cayden Primeau on your 40+shot shutout including your glove save robbing Columbus of a goal! Made our Montreal visit worth the trip from Toronto. His smile said it all!!!
