Certificate of Authenticity Included Collect a Piece of NHL History with this unique 8x10 Photo of Henri Richard, is a former professional ice hockey player who played centre with the Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1955 to 1975. He was the brother of hockey legend Maurice 'The Rocket' Richard and consequently, because he was 15 years younger and three inches shorter, he was given the nickname The Pocket-Rocket. Henri won 11 Stanley Cups, which is more than any other player in all of NHL history as a player (teammate Jean Béliveau has 17 Stanley Cup titles, but only 10 of them were earned as a player; the other 7 were as an executive). Only one other athlete in North American professional sports has achieved winning eleven championships in his respective league - Bill Russell of the NBA's Boston Celtics. In 1957–58, he was named to the first All Star team and in 1959 he was named to the second All-Star team. In his career, he scored 358 goals and earned 688 assists in 1256 games. He scored the Stanley Cup clinching goal at the 2:20 mark of the first overtime in Game Six to win the 1966 Stanley Cup Finals for the Canadiens against Detroit. He was named captain of the Canadiens in 1971 and always wore the number 16 which was retired December 10, 1975 by the Canadiens in his honor. Henri retired in 1975 and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979. In 1998, he was ranked number 29 on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players. He currently serves as an ambassador to the Canadiens' organization. This item comes with a The Real Deal Memorabilia authenticity sticker on the photo and a Certificate of Authenticity.
