These lovely young women are Habs wives of the 1950’s. They’d gotten together and are obviously watching their husbands on television pound the enemy.
The photo was shot at Maurice and Lucille Richard’s house, and that’s Lucille in the white blouse, fourth from left. Lucille looks like the only one who’s not quite so worried.
I don’t know who [...]

Jean Beliveau was in Vancouver this weekend and gave a really nice interview with The Province’s Jim Jamieson. I thought you might like it. 
 
Q: What does the 100th anniversary of the Canadiens mean to you?
A: I find myself to be very fortunate to be part of it; I’ve been with them since Oct. 3, [...]

One of the most important players on the Habs of the early 1960’s, and a third and fourth line grinder at that. Dave Balon and his beautiful wife.
Sadly, Balon passed away several years back, and it was way too early.
Balon was one of those guys who was never a star, but was a hard worker, a checker, and he [...]

But he was a great backup. He eventually went to Oakland when expansion came into being in 1967, as each team had to surrender [...]

Jacques Plante, with wife Jacqueline and boys Michel and Richard, singing and forgetting about flying pucks that hurt when they hit your face. Plante also liked to knit, and made his own socks and toques.
 
Dickie Moore and his lovely wife playing with their little baby. Such a fine looking couple. One of Moore’s daughters, and it could [...]

This is Maurice Richard, of course, just sitting around with his wife Lucille and the family. The kids are Maurice Jr., Hugette, Normand, Andre, and Suzanne. In the left photo, the Rocket shows his Rocket scrapbook to Normand and Andre. Most kids don’t have dads with a personal scrapbook. However, my dad was probably a much better sign painter than the [...]
