context_page_description: Officially known as Le Club de Hockey Canadien, the Montreal Canadiens are a Canadian professional ice hockey team based in Montreal, Quebec. They play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Hockey League. In 1909, the Canadiens were founded as a charter member of the National Hockey Association. In 1917, the franchise joined the NHL, and is one of the Original Six teams. In their 100-year history, the Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cup championships, and are the last Canadian team to have won the Stanley Cup, having done so in 1993. Having played in the Jubilee Arena, the Montreal Arena, the Mount Royal Arena, and the Montreal Forum, the Canadiens have played their home games at the Bell Centre, formerly known as the Molson Centre, since 1996. The Canadiens are owned by the Molson Family. The general manager position is filled by Marc Bergevin while their coaches consist of Claude Julien as their head coach, Kirk Muller as his associated coach, with Dominique Ducharme and Luke Richardson as assistant coaches, and as well as Stéphane Waite as the goalie coach. The current Captain of the Montreal Canadiens is Shea Weber.
