PROFILE |
 |
Once the pinnacle of professional hockey, the Montreal Canadiens have been put on ice. The now-struggling team boasts 24 Stanley Cup victories, second only to the New York Yankees (with 26 World Series titles) in championships won. Founded in 1909 by Ambrose O'Brien, the club made its first title run in 1915. With star forward Maurice "Rocket" Richard, the Habs (a misnomer coined in 1924 by New York Rangers founder Tex Rickard) won a record five consecutive championships from 1955-1959, and later dominated the 1970s with six titles. In 2001 Canadian brewer Molson, which bought the team in 1978, sold 80% of the team and all of the Molson Centre arena to US ski-resort developer George Gillett Jr. for $178 million.
