    I actually know this answer (I think). lol I originally they were called the Habs because of the food company (Habitau Pea Soup). Apparently, I was wrong. lol But whatelse is new.

    This is what Ticat told me this time. The CH means "Club de Habitau" (sp).

    Hopefully that's the right answer. :)

                  Thanks, Doug! :)

                  So, I'm assuming my answer was correct?

                    No,

                    My educated guess is this-

                    Montreal is a bilingual city. The English version of "what you would call residents of Canada" would be Canadiens- the French version of the word is "Les Habitants" or " The inhabitants"

                      The most often asked question about the Montreal Canadiens is what does the nickname " Habs " mean.

                      Legend wants it that the "H" on the Canadiens logo stands for "Habs" instead of Club de Hockey Canadien. The fable began in 1924 when US reporter Tex Rickard was falsely informed by someone that the "H" stood for "habitant", a french word that in those days was used to refer the farmers of Quebec.

                      Rickard was told that the french players on the team came from farms and were therefore, "habitants". At the time, the Canadiens were viewed upon as the french team of Montreal, whereas the Montreal Maroons were the English team.

                      Personally, I think the logo stands for "Centre Hice"
