The final card in Imperial Tobacco's ever-popular C55 card set features the man who started it all for Montreal Canadiens' historians, Jack Laviolette. It was he who was given the task by John Ambrose O'Brien to assemble the very first Montreal Canadiens squad in 1909. Captain of the Habs, Laviolette played defence for five seasons, then moved up to form the era's top line with Newsy Lalonde and Didier Pitre, helping les Canadiens of 1915-16 to their first Stanley Cup. Graded an appealing EX 5 by PSA, with just 10 out of 92 similar submissions slabbed higher in the history of the company.
