Mr. Laviolette was one of the first francophone stars of ice hockey. He was an outstanding scorer from the defenceman position. But Jack Laviolette's true place in hockey history has less to do with his scoring prowess and more to do with his role as the true founding organizer of the Canadiens hockey club. He was their first player, coach and general manager in their inaugural 1910 season.

  • Mr. Laviolette was one of the first francophone stars of ice hockey. He was an outstanding scorer from the defenceman position. But Jack Laviolette's true place in hockey history has less to do with his scoring prowess and more to do with his role as the true founding organizer of the Canadiens hockey club. He was their first player, coach and general manager in their inaugural 1910 season. With the formation of the National Hockey Association (NHA) in December 1909, (replaced 7 years later by the NHL), team/league owner Ambrose O'Brien asked Mr. Laviolette to put together a team made up of French Canadian players to play as the "Les Canadiens" franchise in Montreal. Mr. Laviolette completed the task in time for the NHA's inaugural season. Among those that would sign on to that first team would be future hall of famers Newsy Lalonde and Didier Pitre. The team he built would go on to be the most successful franchise in professional hockey.
