Card Notes

Chunky, swift-skating center called the Pocket Rocket as kid brother of Maurice (Rocket) Richard. A star in own right, Henri needed only two goals to reach 200-mark after nine seasons in league. Once a 30-goal man, Henri slumped to 14 last season.

En Français

Costaud, un centre très rapide surnommé “Pocket Rocket” frère de Maurice “Rocket” Richard. Après sa neuvième saison dans la ligue Nationale, Henri, une étoile hors pair, n’avait besoin que de deux buts pour atteindre son 200eme. Ayant déjà compté trente buts per saison Henri a connu un revers ne comptant que 14 buts l’an dernier. Ses jeux à l’emporte-pièce en ont fait un grand favori.

Details

In 1964-65, Henri Richard scored number 199 of his career on opening night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Goal number 200 came two games later against the Boston Bruins at the Montreal Forum. On November 28, 1964, the Pocket Rocket scored the first goal of the game at 2:11 of the second on Boston goalie Ed Johnston, assisted by Dave Balon. He also assisted on J.C. Tremblay‘s game winning goal in the third period.

Henri’s 30 goal season in 1959-60 remained as a career best. That year, he placed tied for fifth in the NHL with teammate Bernie Geoffrion, nine behind co-leaders Bobby Hull and Bronco Horvath. He was also tied for fifth in the race for the Art Ross Trophy with Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings.

He did follow up his 14 goal season in 1963-64 with 23 in 1964-65. It was the first of three straight years reaching the 20 goal plateau. Over his NHL career, Richard was a 20+ goal scorer nine times.

Between 1955-56 and 1974-75, Henri Richard played 1,258 regular season and 180 playoff games in the National Hockey League, all with the Montreal Canadiens. The eleven-time Stanley Cup champion was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979.
