Canadiens history, and a must have for fan of le bleu, blanc et
rouge!Maurice Richard was a hero to hockey fans across Canada, but he
attained godlike status in his native Quebec. In 1983, when the
Montreal daily La Presse conducted a survey of the top men of the 20th
century, Richard trailed only folk singing legend Felix Leclerc. On
June 25, 1998, the NHL board of governors voted to honour Richard with
a trophy in his name to be presented annually to the league's top goal
scorer. The Rocket was on hand at the 1999 NHL Awards to present the
trophy to its inaugural winner, Teemu Selanne. As the century came to
a close, Richard battled cancer with the same determination that
brought him so many admirers as a player, but he succumbed to his
illness on May 27, 2000. He was given a state funeral that was
broadcast across the country - the first time such an honour was
accorded an athlete.
