The large "C" of the Montreal Candiens logo encircles the letter "H". Am I correct in assuming that the "C" stands for Canadiens? What does the "H" represent (perhaps a french language designation)?

1909-1913 Habs jersey.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4f/Canadiens_1910.gif just a C stands for Canadiens.
from 1913-17 they were the Club Athletique-Canadien and it was a C and with an A instead of the H, which stands for Athletique.

then in 1917-19 they change the name to Le Club de Hockey Canadien, then became CH and the H stands for Hockey.

Habitants is the name used to referred to both the French settlers and the America-born inhabitants of French origin who farmed the land along the two shores of the St. Lawrence waterway in what is the present-day Province of Quebec in Canada.

Nope sorry no language issues here. H stands for hockey!
The C surrounding the H stands for Club de Hockey Canadien. (Prior to 1917 they had a C surrounding an A which stood for le Club Athletique Canadien.)
FYI it does not nor did it ever stand for Habitants

I'd say either Saku Koivu or Alexei Kovalev. Each are great players and very experienced. Each too are good in their positions and can play each end of the ice. Carey Price is a good goalie though he's got a lot to proove for now.

H = Hockey, not Habs. Many people think the H stands for the Habs, but that's definitely not true.

The official CH represents the first version of the hockey club. The CH means Club de Habitants, and therefore the nickname the HABS.
