Maurice Richard
The Most Amazing Hockey Player Ever
by Chris Robinson
Maurice Richard was the greatest hockey player of the 20th century. He was also the most popular and respected hero of French-speaking Canadians. His career paralleled the dramatic changes that occurred in Quebec after the Second World War, when the Quebecois people asserted their equality and their rights.
This new biography of Richard records his incredible career as a hockey player. It traces the connections between his successes on the ice and the growing self-confidence of the French-speaking people of Quebec.
