"The Rocket"

[2005/Canada) directed by Charles Biname

For francophone Quebecers, Maurice “Rocket” Richard holds a singular place in Canadian history. He overcame the National Hockey League’s disdain for working-class Québécois players to become a hockey phenomenon, and made the Montreal Canadiens virtually unbeatable in the 1950s. Richard came to symbolize something more than just hockey excellence when, after decking a referee, he was banned from playing in the 1955 Stanley Cup playoffs. The verdict was seen by Québécois as a slap in the face from English Canada, and led to a night of rioting that proved a turning point in Quebec’s Quiet Revolution
