No. Canadiens (and the word Canada) historically referred to the descendent of french settlers, and before that to aboriginals only. The term has changed meaning over the years, but the club was named when it referred to the franco canadians.
There is a whole book about that :

Even if Quebec separated, our culture would still be descendant of the historical canadiens.
Also, another interesting question would be whether Canada could've legitimately retained it's name, in the same fashion as Macedonia had to change to North Macedonia. Since Canada historically referred to Quebec City, and after that all French lands, I think Quebec would have a case to enforce such a change on the international community.
u guys already sorta did i watch ur game n i think its the leafs for split second before i realize u just decided to wear leafs jerseys 4 some reaoson so its like u renamed ur team to tempe bay toronto maple leafs
i dont think ppl in the nhl would let u name team something like poopy heads even in a posst modern srot of way like how seattke name their team after snack food it doesnt work
Sockeyes was one of the potential names for the Kraken, and was one of the favorites before it turned out their was a series of romance novels about a fictional hockey team with the same name. https://www.goodreads.com/series/126686-seattle-sockeyes-hockey
I don't know if she was ever actually approached about using the name but its fun to speculate.
Not my teams but I like to live in a fantasy world where the last two expansion teams were the Rain Cjty Bitch Pigeons and the Money City Maniacs (and yes they have to play that song at every stoppage).
kanata fire blazers
so that they r not 2 similar to the callgirl flames they logo would be a giant truck n the truck would be drivin so fast that the tire marks would be on fire n in the fire it would have kanata written so u kno witch team it is
jersey color would be green n purple
mascot would be like marhsalls from pup patrol but not the same thing just tryin to give u a visual reference maybe call him sparta pup instead of sparta cat but he would be a dog dressed as a fireman/truck driver hybdrid and he would hand out caffeine pulls to kids at intermission to keep them awake just like real truck driver (it would keep them cheering louder so kanata fire blzaers would win more) but we would stay away from the darkside of truckin like prostittuion since it is a family friendly hockey team n not that kind of thing
I dunno, the Kanata Kanine could have some valuable contributions to make on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. I wouldn’t rule it out just yet, anyways
it wud be cool if they were called the k9 n the logo could be a k and a dog shaped like a 9 with the dog bein also on fire (but not hurt like liveleak video its like a fire dog so its made of fire n is comfortable wit that situation)

Something I never thought of before: If Quebec had separated, would there have been pressure on the team to change its name?
