Quiet Revolution, in which French Quebecoisbegan asserting greater control over their lives.
The French finally take action!

French-speaking populist hero.
The tension between the English and French has built up over many years. The attack of their hero is a large reason for why the revolution started.

You’ve never seen a hockey player like Maurice Richard. Not Crosby. Not Gretzky. Not Orr, Beliveau, Howe. None of them had the talent, the intensity, the will to take over a game like Richard.
Those are the greats in the sport of hockey. Amazing that Richard's name is not remembered like theirs.

RICHARD GOES INSANE
Title seems unfair since Laycoe was the one who started it and slashed Richard's head.
-
when Laycoe confronts Richard, the crowd senses something bad about to happen — but it has no way of knowing how bad it is going to get.
Easy to think this after the build up of tension.

about 700 Hurons are slain or taken captive
I hear a lot about the Native American and Colonial conflicts but seeing that the French had the same conflicts shows how gruesome and difficult the colonization of North America was.

sturgeon
Having fished in Canada it would be very strange to catch sturgeon who are bottom feeders and rarely bite on any kind of bait.
-
for the sake of the little Indian church which they have there founded.
Amazing that they converted some of the Indians. Having nothing in common and still being able to convert them would have taken a significant amount of effort.

Finally we busied ourselves in revising, or rather in arranging, a Grammar
Language is a difficult barrier to break at times. Trying to bring the Huron a way to learn on their own is a huge step.
-
show surprising aptitude and willingness to learn the doctrines of the Christian faith; and, through them, many parents have been reached.
Interesting that the kids were the focus and that they would go on to influence the parents. Usually its the other way around. Makes sense though because most adults are not willing to change their ways while a child is much more likely.
