No athlete has embodied the soul of a city and the spirit of itspeople as Richard did in the 1940s and '50s in Montreal, my homefor the past 21 years. The Rocket was the preeminent presence,if not player, of his era
I cannot imagine the pride and joy he brought to Montreal.
Smoke from a tear-gas canister haddriven thousands of hockey fans into the streets, sparking afour-hour rampage that yielded the requisite fires, shatteredwindows, looted stores, overturned cars and 137 arrests

his five-goal game in 1944; the single-handed goal against the Bruins in 1952; his 325th goal that made him the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer the following season
i wish i could have seen him play.
He swivels and drops Thompson to the ice with a right to the face.

Maurice Richard-le Rocket
I am a huge hockey fan and he is always someone that I have known about ever since I was little.
AFTER a few chilly days, June suddenly brought veritable spring weather.
I am not sure I could handle having winter/chilly weather until JUNE. I cannot even handle it in March/April.
The month of May came in with alternate warm rains and fine sunny days which gradually conquered the accumulated ice and snow of the long winter.
Farmers must be excited about this. Almost time to start the growing season.
"But the soil is rich in these parts
But then he said this. Meaning he thinks about a better living place but the land for farming is too nice where he lives.

Generally speaking they praise an approve the Christian Religion,
When was Christianity first introduced to Quebec and how fast did it spread?
What a consolation to hear these districts resound with the name of Jesus, where the devil has been, so to speak, adored and recognized as God during so many ages.
