context_page_description: Les Canadiennes de Montréal were a professional women's ice hockey team based in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 2007 as the Montreal Stars, they competed in the Canadian Women's Hockey League in every season. The team appeared in and won the Clarkson Cup the most times out of any CWHL teams with four championships.
  In 2015, the team became an affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League, with the franchise providing resources and marketing support to the team as part of their efforts to help promote women's hockey. This affiliation also led to its re-branding as Les Canadiennes for the 2015–16 CWHL season, adopting colours and jerseys resembling those of their men's counterpart. In December 2015, the Canadiennes and the Boston Pride played the first outdoor game in women's hockey as part of festivities for the 2016 NHL Winter Classic in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
  In 2019, the CWHL ceased operations, as well as all teams that it directly owned including Les Canadiennes.
