Jean Béliveau was one of the greatest hockey players in Hockey History as he played for the Montreal Canadiens. He was born on August 31, 1931 in Trois-Rivères, Quebec. He went on to play from 1950-1971 and won 10 Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens. Jean was an exceptional leader as he wore the C as in Captain for most of his career for the Montreal Canadiens. On December 2nd 2014, Jean Béliveau passed away for unknown illness. He was only 83. This had a huge impact on the hockey world as they found out a captain has fallen. He was one of the greatest Captains averaging about 70 points a season for The Montreal Canadiens. He won NHL (National Hockey League) several times and was a role model for children of all ages. He was a very well man. He was always signing autographs and always talking to fans and always proud to be a Montreal Canadian. After he died, millions we’re sadden by it as the funeral was held today on December 10th 2014 at the Bell Center (Montreal Canadiens official arena. In all of his seasons, he averaged 1219 Points in only 20 seasons which is unbelievable. The Montreal Canadiens tribute Jean Béliveau because he was with them through his whole career and he was a part of 10 of their 24 Stanley cups. He was always part of the Candiens even after his retirement in 1971 as one of the club scouts. He was a role model to every hockey player to live. He was the Sidney Crosby of the league at that moment. He carried players to be better.
It was a very sad lost in the hockey world to lose this legend in the hockey world. The Montreal Canadians family sadly had to lose a great role model this past week and the community has been mounring ever since. I am very sad that we lost this great man, the NHL willl never be the same

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post, he was a great hockey player and did a great job representing the Montreal Canadians. You did a great job at explaining his accomplishment and your opinion. good job! My mom actually got to meet him when she was younger and got his signature and he kissed her on the cheek.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very interesting and clear. I may not a huge fan of hockey but his story is amazing especially the fact that he scored 1219 points in only 20 seasons. That's unbeleivable just like you said. It shows how important he was ans how good he was in hockey. It's sad that he passed away but i think that dying at 83 is not pretty bad. His legend will live forever for the montreal canadians and his fans.
ReplyDeleteJean really sounds like a person who took his career very seriously and also had fun with it. Im sure that he was a good leader and that people still look up to him. He may Rest In Peace.
