Founded on December 4, 1909, eight years prior to the formation of the NHL, the Montreal Canadiens® are the oldest and most successful franchise in professional hockey history.

The numbers speak for themselves… Fifty-four members of Hockey Hall of Fame, countless individual trophy winners, 15 retired jerseys, and of course, an NHL-record 24 Stanley Cup Championships – including an unprecedented five consecutive titles from 1956-1960 and an amazing 10 in 15 seasons from 1964-65 to 1978-79.

In 2009, a commemorative one-dollar coin entered circulation to celebrate the pride shared by Habs fans from coast to coast. For hockey enthusiasts and avid collectors this coin is the perfect way to preserve this milestone and keep the spirit of hockey alive for generations to come.
