Howie Morenz
Howie Morenz's great skill and speed were instrumental in the NHL's expansion into the United States. Morenz signed with the Montréal Canadiens for the 1923-24 season, immediately helped them with a Stanley Cup victory and led them in goals and points for seven seasons. Morenz won the Hart Trophy three times and was named to the very first All-Star Team in 1930-31. He died in March of 1937 while still in hospital after breaking his leg during a January 28th game. More than 10,000 fans attended a memorial service at the Montreal Forum.
