Overview
The Greatest Season of Hockey's Original Legend
Howie Morenz was hockey's first superstar, a dazzling skater and prolific goal scorer who electrified crowds while leading the Montreal Canadiens to three Stanley Cups. The 1930-31 season finds Morenz at the peak of his powers. His Canadiens dominate the NHL and Morenz is leading the league in scoring while earning his second Hart trophy as most valuable player in hockey.
Following him game by game through this remarkable season, author Donald Murray weaves in the backstory of how Morenz became the most exciting and successful hockey player of professional hockey's first half century. With keen insight and gripping prose, he describes Morenz's unparalleled agility, his ferocious will, and brilliant leadership, among other elements of what made him the league's most extraordinary talent - one the whole hockey world would mourn when he died at age 34 of a broken leg suffered in his final game.
