1925–26 Montreal Canadiens season

The Canadiens lost their star goalie Georges Vezina to tuberculosis and struggled as a team, not making the playoffs.

The team had a large turnover of personnel, partly due to Vezina's leaving.

Alphonse Lacroix, Herb Rheaume and Bill Taugher all appeared in the Canadiens' net.

Odie signed with Pittsburgh as playing-coach and Sprague was traded to the Boston Bruins for $5,000 on November 8, 1925.

Cecil Hart took over as coach from Leo Dandurand, and Billy Coutu was named team captain.
