A Gift Fit For A Queen



On November 9th, 1952 Rocket Richard scored the 325th goal of his NHL career. With great fanfare he had broken Nels Stewart's record for most NHL goals scored in a career.

But did you know that the famous puck that Richard scored with does not reside in the Hockey Hall of Fame or in the Richard family collection? No, it was forwarded by Canadian government officials to Queen Elizabeth II as a souvenir.
