The Montreal Canadiens are perhaps the most storied and well known of all the teams in the NHL. They are one of the original six teams that founded the NHL in 1917. They have more Stanley Cups than any other team, and their success makes them the third most successful sports teams in North America with regards to their percentage of championships. Only the Boston Celtics and New York Yankees have more championship success. The Montreal Canadiens have remained a perennial playoff team in recent years but haven’t won a Stanley Cup since the early 1990’s. A home game at the Bell Center gives fans the combined experience of watching a storied team with a long rich history and a young exciting team with a new coach trying to reach the playoffs and another chance for a Stanley Cup. The Montreal Canadiens play hockey in the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team was founded in 1909 and began playing hockey in the NHL predecessor, the National Hockey Association. The teams history includes 24 Stanley Cup wins, many of them back to – 5 in a row in the 1950’s and 4 in a row in the 1970’s. The Montreal Canadiens have a list of hall of famers too long to list, including Patrick Roy, Henri Richard, and Howie Morenz. The Montreal Canadiens play their home games at the Bell Center (Centre Bell). With a hockey attendance capacity of over 21,000, the arena seats more fans than any other in the NHL. A home game is one of the quintessential experiences in hockey. You’ll hear the crowd roar as famed announcer Michel Lacroix announces a Canadiens game.
