Which NHL team is the oldest?

Answer 1

The Montreal Canadiens are a professional ice hockey team, the oldest established National Hockey League (NHL) franchise, and one of the most successful clubs in all of North American sports history. Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Canadiens are one of the NHL's 'Original Six' franchises, along with the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs. In their near-century of existence, the team has won twenty-four Stanley Cups, the most championships by any team in the NHL. The Montreal Canadiens play their home games at the Bell Centre. The franchise is officially known as Le Club de Hockey Canadien, but is usually referred to in English Canada as the "Montreal Canadiens". French nicknames for the team include Le Bleu-Blanc-et-Rouge, Le Tricolore, Les Glorieux, and Les Habitants. The team jersey is referred to as La Sainte-Flanelle. In English, the main nicknames are the Habs and (usually historically) The Flying Frenchmen. The Montreal Canadiens' chief rivals are the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
