Fabulous Canadiens Montreal Forum calendars of the 1950s feature six years from the height of the Habs' incredible run of 10 straight Stanley Cup finals appearances. These complete Forum calendars remain in excellent display condition despite tears along the bottom edge from expected handling.

Calendars for the 1951-52, 1953-54 and 1954-55 seasons, all capped by losses to Detroit, are included along with 1955-56, when the Canadiens finally beat the Red Wings to begin their record run of five straight Cups.
