Future

edit

 Maurice Richard (1921–2000) was a Canadian professional  ice hockey player. He played 18 seasons in the  National Hockey League (NHL) for the  Montreal Canadiens between 1942 and 1960. A prolific scorer, he was the first player in NHL history to score  50 goals in one season and the first to reach  500 career goals. An eight-time  Stanley Cup champion, he won the  Hart Trophy as most valuable player in 1947 and played in 13 consecutive  All-Star Games. Richard was a cultural icon to Quebec's  Francophone population; his 1955 suspension for striking an official precipitated the  Richard Riot. The incident has been called a violent manifestation of Francophone Quebec's dissatisfaction of its place within Canada and is considered by some historians to be a precursor to the  Quiet Revolution. The publication of  The Hockey Sweater elevated Richard's legacy to that of a pan-Canadian hero. Richard was inducted into the  Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961 and was named to the  Order of Canada in 1967.

The Canadiens retired his number, 9, in 1960, and in 1998 donated the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy to the NHL, awarded annually to the league's regular season leading goal-scorer.
