Maurice Richard

Biography

Canadian hockey player, a top scorer in NHL history and Canada's most colorful idol, called "The Rocket." A right wing forward with the Montreal Canadian team, he was regarded as the fastest player ever from face-off into opposing ice.

He was first on the ice in organized hockey at age 11. From his first NHL 50 goal season, he made a total of 544 goals in 978 games. He was on the All Star team for 14 years and voted Most Valuable Player 1946-47. His suspension for striking an official caused a riot in Montréal on 3/17/1955; his career was also injury-plagued. Richard is a hero figure, a legend in Quebec, known not only for his fame on the ice but for his kindness, gentleness; a very humble man. After he retired in the 60's, he became a hockey columnist.

Richard married 9/12/1942, they had five kids.

Richard died of cancer on 5/27/2000. The Canadian organization is taking over the funeral details and he will lie in state at the Forum of Montreal. Richard's name appears on the NHL trophy given each year to the league's top goal scorer.
