Maurice Richard

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.
