Origin
and identity

Guy Lafleur's speed, flowing hair and attacking freedom made Montreal's championship hockey a memorable spectacle.

Lafleur carried enormous expectations into Montreal after an extraordinary junior career. Once his NHL game opened up, he became a winger whose rushes could lift the crowd before the puck even reached the net.

Six consecutive seasons of at least fifty goals and one hundred points placed substance behind the spectacle. His later return after Hall of Fame induction added a final, unusual chapter to an already iconic career.
