precisely because english hockey players showed open disdain for francophone players, we adopted this sobriquet and kept it as a source of pride.

can't hurt us. Canada tried to assimilate us for hundred of years and we know how Britain used to b very good at this.

One of sport's oldest and most recognizable logos, the classic 'C' and 'H' of the Montreal Canadiens was first used together in the 1917–18 season, when the club changed its name to "Club de hockey Canadien" from "Club athlétique Canadien",[41] before evolving to its current form in 1952–53. The "H" stands for "hockey", not "Habitants," a popular misconception.[42] According to NHL.com, the first man to refer to the team as "the Habs" was American Tex Rickard, owner of the Madison Square Garden, in 1924. Rickard apparently told a reporter that the "H" on the Canadiens' sweaters was for "Habitants".[43] In French, the "Habitants" nickname dates back to at least 1914, when it was printed in Le Devoir to report a 9–3 win over Toronto on the 9th of February.[44][45]
