All-Star Game selections
The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Sixty-eight iterations have been held since 1947, with at least one player chosen to represent the Canadiens in each year except 2001. Collectively, the All-Star game has not been held across several years: 1979 and 1987 due to the Challenge Cup and Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team, 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of league labour stoppages, 2006, 2010, and 2014 because of player involvement at the Winter Olympic Games, 2021 out of precautionary reasons from the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2025 when it was substituted by the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.[34] Montreal has hosted a record twelve NHL All-Star Games to date: 1953, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1975, 1993, and most recently in 2009.[35]

All-Star benefit games
Prior to the institution of the National Hockey League All-Star Game the league held three different benefit games featuring teams of all-stars. The first was the Ace Bailey Benefit Game, held in 1934, after a violent collision with Eddie Shore of the Boston Bruins left Ace Bailey of the Toronto Maple Leafs hospitalized and unable to continue his playing career.[107] In 1937, the Howie Morenz Memorial Game was held to raise money for the family of Howie Morenz of the Canadiens, who died from complications after being admitted to the hospital for a broken leg.[108] The Babe Siebert Memorial Game was held in 1939 to raise funds for the family of the Canadiens' Babe Siebert, who drowned shortly after his retirement from professional hockey.[109]

Hockey Hall of Fame
In the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Canadiens boast the most enshrined Hall of Famers with 70.[113] All of their inductees are from Canada save for former defencemen Joe Hall (United Kingdom) and Chris Chelios (United States). Thirty-six of these players are from three separate notable dynasties: 12 from 1955–60, 11 from 1964–69 and 13 from 1975–79. Howie Morenz and Georges Vezina were the first Canadiens given the honour in 1945, while Shea Weber was the most recent inductee in 2024.
