Habs 365: Daily Stories from the Ice

By Mike Commito

Now you can cheer for the Habs every day of the year

The Montreal Canadiens are one of the most storied franchises in hockey. No club has won more Stanley Cups than the Canadiens, but they are about so much more than championships. For many French Canadians and fans around the world, the Habs are a source of pride and an inherent part of their identity.

From Maurice Richard inspiring generations of French Canadians in La Belle Province to how the infamous "Richard Riot" may have helped spark a revolution in Quebec, the bleu, blanc, et rouge have been an important part of many people's lives, on and off the ice. You can now relive some of the team's rich history and memorable moments, such as the club's origins in 1909, their first overall selection in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, and the 24 Stanley Cups in between. You'll even find some obscure incidents, like the time "the Gumper" got egged, and some of the more heartwarming moments, like when the Montreal faithful welcomed back captain Saku Koivu after his battle against cancer. Chances are, if you're holding this book in your hands, you're a Habs fan, and with every turn of the page you'll fall in love with the team all over again.
