The 1910–1911 Montreal Canadiens season was the team's second season and also the second season of the National Hockey Association(NHA). The club would improve to a 8–8 record, second in the league. It was the first season for Georges Vezina and he would lead the league in G.A.A with a G.A.A. of 3.9 goals per game. Newsy Lalonde would return from this time with Renfrew and led the team with 19 goals.

After the 1910 NHA season Georges Kennedy of Club Athletique-Canadien claimed the name 'Canadiens'. It was his intention that he would be granted admission to the NHA and if refused would insist that the Canadiens name be dropped. At the NHA meeting of November 12, 1911, Mr. Kennedy was granted a franchise. It was understood that he would take over the Haileybury Hockey Club franchise and its players for his franchise fee and the Les Canadiens franchise would become dormant. However, none of the Haileybury players were signed and the team's personnel was basically the same as the previous season's Les Canadiens.

Regular season

After an exhibition match by the Canadiens in Chicoutimi, Quebec against a team with Georges Vezina in goal, Joseph Cattarinich the then-goaltender of the Canadiens was so impressed by Vezina's play that he suggested to team management that they sign Vezina and he would step aside. It was Cattarinch's final game playing with the club. He would later become part-owner of the club.
