This Day In Hockey History (10/11)

Captains come and go in hockey but for some, their memories stand the tests of all time.  Today’s moment reflects the start of a captaincy that will live forever in Montreal lore.  This moment happened 50 years ago today and I am sure is being recollected in lots of places today, just not in Montreal.  First, we have a video and then the moment.  Oh, Fantasy Hockey ONE, will be out before tonight’s games and we apologize.

 

 

October 11, 1961

Jean Beliveau was named Captain of the Montreal Canadiens, succeeding Doug Harvey, who had been traded to the New York Rangers.
