Maurice "The Rocket" Richard, known for his speed on the ice and his powerful shots, spent 18 years with the Montreal Canadiens. His career included eight Stanley Cup Championships, and he was the first National Hockey League (NHL) player to score 50 goals in 50 games. When he died in 2000 at the age of 78, Prime Minister Chrétien remarked of this most dedicated hockey player that he "...defined and transcended the game of hockey."
