===Hall of Fame alumni===
Two members of the Montreal Juniors have been enshrined in the HHOF. One of them played for the Juniors, the other was one of the team's coaches.
Denis Savard was a local superstar and centreman, who played three seasons with the Juniors scoring 455 points in three years. He would go onto play many years for the Chicago Blackhawks, and won a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
Jacques Laperriere had been a defenseman on the Montreal Canadiens. After retiring as a player, Laperrière took on the position of coach of the Montreal Juniors prior to the 1975-76 season. Partway through the following year he resigned because of the pressure and violence at the amateur level.
