Howie Morenz was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre, born on September 21, 1902, who played fourteen National Hockey League seasons from 1923 for the Montreal Canadiens, the Chicago Black Hawks and the New York Rangers. Nicknamed the Stratford Streak for his speed, he was one of the first stars of the league, set several scoring records and won the Hart Trophy as most valuable player three times and the Stanley Cup three times, all with Montreal. He died on March 8, 1937 of complications from a broken leg. The Canadiens retired his jersey number, the first time the club did so, and he was one of the original nine inductees of the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945.
