This is the 1956-57 season of the Ottawa Junior Canadiens: They were the Montreal Junior Canadiens, a Junior A team, that was moved to Ottawa from Montreal after the 1955-56 season. The reason for the move was the much better attendance figures in Ottawa over Montreal in 1955-56. The home games against the minor pro and junior leagues were played in Ottawa. The home games against the senior teams were played in Verdun, Quebec. There were also some other exhibition games played by the Junior Canadiens, most notably against some National Hockey League teams.
