Why?

For this project we had to chose one Canadian historical character and research him. We chose to do our project on Maurice Richard a great hockey player. He was an icon to all of Quebec and all french Canadians. We chose Maurice Richard because he is the greatest hockey legend known to the hockey world.

Who?

Maurice played for the Canadiens for his entire carreer. He was truly a great hockey player. He made 14 allstar and won 8 Stanley cups. He was such an outstading player that as of the 1998-99 season the N.H.L began to award the Maurice Richard trophy. This award would be given to the player with the most goals scored in the regular season. sadly Maurice Richard passed away in the year 2000 due to abdominal cancer.

How?

In order to complete this assignment, we needed to resaerch Maurice Richard and write a text about his life. Then we recorded our text. After we were done recording our text we had to collect a databaseof photos of Maurice Richard. We also had to design background music for our movie. After all this was finished we exported our pics, text and music to final cut pro where we put in effects.
