It’s listed as being 1929 on YouTube but I think it’s off by a year or two and it’s more like 1930 or ’31.
Howie Morenz, Eddie Shore, Ace Bailey, Aurele Joliat, Dit Clapper, Lester Patrick, and so many other all-time greats of the game roamed the ice back then, and 1930 was only a year removed from Wall Street crashing and women considered “Persons” under new Canadian law.
The Habs would win the Stanley Cup in the spring of 1930 after taking out the Boston Bruins in two games, with Howie Morenz netting the winner.
