“Rocket” Richard holding three pucks representing
his goal production for the night in a game against the Chicago Black Hawks, 11 December
1953, by Paul Taillefer
The intensity and goal-scoring prowess of Maurice
“Rocket” Richard (1921-2000), as a hockey player for the Montreal Canadiens from 1942 to 1960,
made him a hero in his native province of Quebec. This photo catches Richard in a relaxed mood
after scoring the 18th hat trick (three goals in a game) of his career.
