[edit] Hall of Famers
In the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Canadiens boast the most enshrined Hall-of-Famers with forty-two. All of their inductees are from Canada with the exception of former Defenceman Joe Hall, who was from England. Thirty-six of these players are from three separate notable dynasties: 12 from 1955-1960, 11 from 1964-1969 and 13 from 1975-1979. Howie Morenz and Georges Vézina were the first Canadiens given the honor in 1945, while Patrick Roy and Dick Duff were the last to be inducted in 2006.
