Got to meet Maurice Richard at an old timers game in February 1991 in Regina, Saskatchewan. He was soft spoken and super polite. He told me to stand beside him so I could have my picture taken with him/took picture with his brother Henri at the same game.
We all wore the famous number 9 on our backs like Maurice Rocket Ricard, We all laced up our skates like Maurice Rocket Richard, We all greased our hair like Maurice Rocket Richard
Love the story, it's great hearing a living legend talk about a legend. I heard a story once about Richard's intensity, a teammate scored a winning goal and The Rocket embraced him so hard that he broke his nose.
I met Rocket Richard in 1961 or 62 in Gananoque Ontario when he was guest referee for an exhibition game. He struck me a really humble and very polite. One of my fondest memories as a player. Tom Carty
Après la retraite de Richard, les joueurs du Canadien ont choisis Béliveau comme capitaine plutôt que Geoffrion, malgré le fait que ce dernier avait plus d'ancienneté. () Béliveau s'est également longtemps opposé à ce que le "jersey" de Geoffrion soit retiré. Il a payé cher son "lack of respect" du Rocket.
We still miss you on HNIC Don, always love hearing your input and stories
