Les Canadiennes de Montréal were a professional women's ice hockey team based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

This affiliation also led to its re-branding as Les Canadiennes for the 2015–16 CWHL season, adopting colours and jerseys resembling those of their men's counterpart.

In December 2015, the Canadiennes and the Boston Pride played the first outdoor game in women's professional hockey as part of festivities for the 2016 NHL Winter Classic in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

The Stars were formed from players from the Montreal Axion, a team that played in the National Women's Hockey League before its demise.

Former Canadian Governor General Adrienne Clarkson was on hand to present the trophy to team captain Lisa-Marie Breton-Lebreux.

In March 2015, the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League entered into a resource-sharing and marketing partnership with the Stars.

They beat the Inferno 1–0, with the goal by captain Marie-Philip Poulin, in regulation in front of nearly 6000 spectators, marking a great success for the first ever CWHL hockey game to be played at the home of the Montreal Canadiens.

[17] In 2018, Les Canadiennes moved team operations to the home arena of the Montreal Canadiens' American Hockey League affiliate, the Laval Rocket.

After the 2018 Winter Games, Hilary Knight signed as a free agent with Les Canadiennes on March 8, 2018, joining the team for the 2018 Clarkson Cup playoffs.
