I have no idea what Habs is, but go ahead.
"The Habs" is short for Les Habitants. "Les Habitants" refers to the French settlers in Quebec, and is also the nickname (or simply the French name) of the hockey team more well known as the Montreal Canadiens.
In the early 90s, when the Habs won the Stanley Cup, they were backstopped by the goal keeping of a Quebecois named Patrick Roy, one of the best goalies in the game and certainly the best of his time. (Cue Chaz to argue for someone else!). Anyway, as I alluded to, his surname is pronounced as the French word for king, not the common English first name.
And now I've explained something from way back on page 1. I feel silly.
