IceCap Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ya, for the team, its CanadiEns, not CanadiAns.why is that? can anyone enlighten me on that?Yeah, like others have said, "Canadiens" is French for "Canadians." Since the Habs were originally founded to represent Montréal's French population, they went with the French spelling (Canadiens).
