Montreal Canadiens players litter the Hockey Hall of Fame. There have been superstar players suiting up for the Habs for over 100 years.

Recently we have seen Carey Price win the Hart Trophy, Vezina Trophy, William Jennings Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award, but it has not been a rare occurrence for a Canadiens player to have their name etched on an NHL Award over the years.

One of the first true star players in the illustrious history of the Canadiens was Howie Morenz.

He didn’t waste any time making a name for himself at the NHL level.
