Origin
and identity

Henri Richard built his own Montreal legend through playmaking, two-way excellence and an unmatched collection of player championships.

Being Maurice Richard's younger brother brought instant comparison, but Henri's game followed a different shape. Quick feet, dependable passing and work across the whole rink gave him an identity beyond the famous surname.

He bridged Montreal generations, from the five straight titles at the start of his career to a later captaincy. The quantity of championships is astonishing; the span of useful, adaptable hockey makes it meaningful.
