Description
There was once a little boy named Maurice. He was born on a summer day in 1921 in the hectic city of Montréal. He lived there with his parents and his 7 brothers and sisters. Had his parents been able to stay in their hometown, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Maurice would have become a fisherman. Who could have believed then that he would become one of the greatest hockey players of all times?
This inspirational story is perfect for hockey lovers across Canada to learn more about The Rocket!
