Check out this link. The Logo is the same and the CH 1909 is also involved. Can't see why Kia Kaha is there unless they just like the Maori phrase! Kia Kaha is not just used by the military, but used in all sorts of "rev up" phrases. but certainly St Laurence fits with Montreal!
Further to the above link, a search of the "Canadiens" on Google shows they were founded in 1909, so.....the plot thickens. The Kia Kaha bit is NOT the motto of this team. I personally do not think that this item has UK connections, but rather Canadian.

HI Stu,

Thanks for coming in on this one.
The plot does thicken indeed!
It seems to be quite a popular motto. I must admit, I'm more than consused now
Any thoughts as to use?

Cheers
