People who live in canada are canadians. Habs is short for habitants (people who live in canada). The H on the jersey is not for Habitants but for Hockey.

Wow, I always thought the "H" in the jersey meant Habitants, and the C meant Canadien, and that the full name of Montreal team was "Les Habitants Canadien" or "C-H" on the jersey.

That's right buddy, funny how I had a conversation with one of my teamates about this H and the C is fo Club, so it's Club de hockey Canadiens.
