The Montreal Canadiens in the Hockey Hall of Fame

As one of the founding teams of the NHL in 1917 and the franchise with the most Stanley Cup banners, it’s no surprise that nearly 60 Hockey Hall of Fame players have worn a Stanley Cup jersey. Montreal Canadiens at some point during their career.

In perspective, some of the greatest players of all time to play for the Canadiens have awards named after them, including Georges Vézina and Maurice “Rocket” Richard, as well as builder Frank J. Selke.

Since Montreal is the only hockey team to win five consecutive Stanley Cup titles, many players from that dynasty share plaques in the Toronto Hall of Fame.

Additionally, the Canadiens are the only team in the Hall of Fame with three distinct dynasties enthroned: the 1955-1960 teams, the 1964-1969 teams and the 1975-1979 teams.
