Founded in 1909 by J. Ambrose O’Brien, the Montreal Canadiens are the longest continuously operating professional ice hockey team worldwide and the only existing NHL club to predate the founding of the NHL. Their first NHL game was played on Dec. 19, 1917, versus the Ottawa Senators, which they won 7-4. They are the most successful NHL franchise with 25 championships, 11 more than the second-place Toronto Maple Leafs.
