    Why is there an "H" inside the "C" of the hockey uniform of the Montreal Canadiens?

    Question #116040. Asked by star_gazer. (Jul 16 10 5:36 PM)

    		One of sport's oldest and most recognizable logos, the classic 'C' and 'H' of the Montreal Canadiens was first used together in the 1917–18 season, when the club changed its name to Club de hockey Canadien from Club athlétique Canadien,[21] before evolving to its current form in 1952–53. The 'H' does not stand for 'Habs' or Habitants; this is a misconception. It actually stands for 'Hockey', as in 'Club de hockey Canadien', the official name of the team.

    		The logo stands for "Club de Hockey Canadien", so the "H" stands for hockey.
