The Montreal Canadiens franchise is well known as the oldest professional hockey club. So old, in fact, that it predates the very formation of the NHL in which it competes. As the EOTP Habs history writer, I feel that I may have failed you all, in that I have yet to tell arguably the most important story in that long history; how the Canadiens were founded.
It is a story that, as far as I can tell, is not very well known among Habs fans. It is also a great story, and one that every Habs fan should have the opportunity to hear.
