Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the Habs?

The early French settlers, or inhabitants, of Quebec were referred to in French as Habitants. In the early years of the Canadiens the letter "H" inside the big "C" on their jerseys was often mistakenly taken by many to mean "Habitants" as a salute to the first French Canadian settlers. Therefore, the Canadiens were often referred to, and still are, as Habitants or simply "the Habs". The "C" and "H" on the sweaters simply mean Canadiens Hockey Club.


What is a Seigneury?

A seigneury was a system where small pieces of land along the St. Lawrence river were divided out among the farmers to settle. The Land lord (seigneur) was in charge of this matter. The land lord was given a house and some of the farmers profit by permission of the king . The people living on the seigneury were called habitants. The habitants had to farm and settle the land. Every so often they would have to give the land lord a payment. For example, the payment could be some wheat or a few chickens.


What did the habitants do in the spring of the 1600's?

In the spring of the 1600s, the habitants, or settlers in New France, engaged in various agricultural activities to prepare for the growing season. They cleared land, planted crops such as corn, beans, and squash, and tended to their livestock. This period was crucial for establishing food supplies for the year, and communal efforts often involved cooperation among families and neighbors to ensure successful harvests. Additionally, they participated in trade with Indigenous peoples, exchanging goods and knowledge related to farming and survival.
