Why is Montreal called the Habs?

Always loved hockey and playoff hockey is the best! But for the life of me I have no clue why they have the nickname Habs! GFY hockey fans help me out

Habs is an abbreviation of "les habitants," a name given to the original french descendants in the late 1700s. Since conception the "Habs" have been marketed as a 'french canadian' hockey team, and the nickname stuck.

Google is your friend

But thanks for this thread, it caused me to google it for you thus I clicked on a few links and discovered something I don't think I was aware of about the habs before now...

Wayy back in the day Jean Beliveau, the Mahovlich brothers, Henri Richard, JC Tremblay, Serge Savarde, Guy Lapointe and Yvan Cournoyer (corn-why-ay) were among my favorites. Fav goalie was Rogie Vachon, at least until Ken Dryden came along.
