Actually, they aren't called Senators in Canada. They're MP's so that's not where the Ottawa Senators name comes from.
Frank Mahovlich was appointed to the Canadian Senate by Prime Minister Jean Chretien, that makes him a Canadian Senator...
The Senate and the House of Commons sit in separate chambers on Parliament Hill, which is located in Ottawa, Ontario.

just to go along with what you said manninm good ol wikipedia to the rescue
"The franchise is officially known as Le Club de Hockey Canadien, but they are usually referred to as "Les Canadiens de Montréal" and their English name. Other French nicknames for the team include Le Canadien, Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge, La Sainte-Flanelle, Le Tricolore, Les Glorieux, Les Habitants and Le Grand Club. In English, the main nickname is the Habs (coming from "Les Habitants")." nice work man
