Future

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.
