It seems to be quite a popular motto. I must admit, I'm more than consused now

Hi Gene,
The coincidences of date and badge I feel would be well worth following up. Perhaps an email to the Canadiens Head Office with a pic would be worthwhile. I would guess that you could get the email from their website.

Other than that I don't have anything else to suggest, but agree that it would be a shame to alter the item until it's origins are established.
A futher comment on the Ake Ake Kia Kaha thing. Yes the Maori Battalion song is exactly that, BUT the phrase is also used widely in other ways also.
Regards Stu
