Henri Richard Biography and Trivia

Number 16 retired by Montréal Canadiens
Cult/Star player for Montréal Canadiens

Henri Richard's 11 Stanley Cups are the most by any player in NHL history. The 10x All-Star played his entire 20-year career with Montreal, retiring in 1975 with 1,046 points. Henri also won a Bill Masterton Trophy in 1974.

Henri "Pocket Rocket" Richard blir alltid förknippad med att han är "Raketens" lillebror. Men Henri innehar ett nära nog oslagbart rekord i NHL och det är antalet vunna Stanley Cups. 11 gånger var Henri med och vann Stanley Cup med Canadiens, sista gången som kapten 1973. Han var minst lika snabb som sin bror och när han kom till Canadiens träningsläger inför säsongen 55-56, åkte han ifrån alla sina lagkompisar. Det fick coachenHector "Toe" Blake att skriva kontrakt med Henri direkt. Sin snabbhet fick han som barn när han åkte skridskor till skolan varje dag. (av: Staffan Hesselbäck)
Richard was a member of 11 Stanley Cup winning teams, the most by any player. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979.
