Maurice Richard — The Spirit of the Rocket

In this land, we know the weight of greatness. Long before our boys in red stormed the pitch at BMO Field, the Rocket—Maurice Richard—ignited the Canadian soul with his relentless fire. His spirit didn’t stay on the ice; it bled into the grass. Today, as Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David charge forward, they carry that same defiant Richard energy. From the frozen rinks to the humid stadiums of the world, we are a nation that never backs down from the fight.
