MAURICE "ROCKET" RICHARD VINTAGE RED CANADIENS JERSEY

MAURICE "ROCKET" RICHARD SIGNED VINTAGE WOOL JERSEY    

Richard scored 32 goals in 46 games during his first full season, then contributed 12 scores in nine contests to lead Montreal to the Stanley Cup over Chicago in 1944. This included the first of his three career record hat tricks in the finals. Teamed with Elmer Lach and Toe Blake on the dreaded Punch Line, Richard became the NHL's first 50-goal shooter in 1944-45. On December 28, 1944, Richard became the first player in NHL history to score eight points in one game. This remained the league standard until Darryl Sittler's 10-point night in 1976.

On October 19, 1957, Richard beat Glenn Hall of Chicago to become the first NHL player to score 500 regular-season goals. The historic tally was assisted by future Hall of Famers Dickie Moore and Jean Beliveau.

The Rocket retired after this last triumph and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961 when the customary three-year waiting period was waived. Richard remained visible in the Montreal area throughout his retirement.
