Maurice "Rocket" Richard, born in 1921, was one of the greatest goal-scorers in NHL history. Playing his entire career with the Montreal Canadiens, he was the first player to score 50 goals in 50 games and helped lead the Canadiens to eight Stanley Cup championships. His fiery play, unmatched goal-scoring ability, and leadership made him an icon in Quebec and across the hockey world. The NHL's top goal-scorer award, the Rocket Richard Trophy, is named in his honor.

Henri "Pocket Rocket" Richard, born in 1936, was the younger brother of Maurice Richard and one of the most decorated players in NHL history. Playing his entire 20-year career with the Montreal Canadiens, he won a record 11 Stanley Cups—more than any other player. Known for his speed, playmaking, and leadership, Henri was a key contributor to the Canadiens dynasty of the 1950s and 1960s. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979.
