====Hall of Fame====
The Montreal Canadiens have an affiliation with a number of inductees to the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]]. Thirty-seven of these players are from three separate notable dynasties: 12 from 1955 to 1960, 11 from 1964 to 1969, and 13 from 1975 to 1979. [[Howie Morenz]] and [[Georges Vézina|Georges Vezina]] were the first Canadiens given the honour in 1945, while [[Shea Weber]] was the most recently inducted, in 2024. Along with players, a number of inductees from the builders category are affiliated with the club. The first inductee was vice president [[William Northey (ice hockey)|William Northey]] in 1945. The most recent inductee was [[Pat Burns]] in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.legendsofhockey.net/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/LegendsMembersByName.jsp?type=Builder|title=Legends of Hockey – Builders|publisher=Hockey Hall of Fame|access-date=October 31, 2014|url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141116070715/http://www.legendsofhockey.net/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/LegendsMembersByName.jsp?type=Builder|archive-date=November 16, 2014}}</ref>
