One of the most iconic logos in all of sports, the logo of the National Hockey League’s Montreal Canadiens. The franchise is one of the NHL’s “original six” teams, but is the only team that actually pre-dates the founding of the NHL. They are one of the oldest professional sports franchises in North America, and also one of the winningest, having captured 24 championships in their long and storied history. “Les Habitants” have had a lot of legendary players over the years, including Maurice “The Rocket” Richard, Jean Beliveau, Toe Blake, Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion, Jacques Plante, Guy Lafleur, Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson and Patrick Roy. There is a misconception about the “C” and “H” on the team’s logo. Most people think the “H” is for “Habitants” in tribute to Canada’s bilingual culture in the province of Quebec, but the “H” actually stands for “Hockey”, and the “C” for “Canadien”, as the team’s official name is “le Club de Hockey Canadien”.
