Canadien refers to the original settlers of New France, the habitants as they were called. The hockey team, the Montreal Canadiens, are also known as the habs for this reason. The Montreal Canadiens are the team to have obtained the most Stanley Cups in history, and with the hopeful victory of the Calgary Flames, the cup will return to Canada shortly.
