In 1936 he was brought back to Montreal and was enjoying a successful return when his career came to an end. On January 28, 1937, in a game against Chicago, Morenz was checked while at full speed.

The plaque will be dedicated by the Reverend Wallace Murray, Knox Presbyterian Church, Mitchell. Historical background The youngest son of six children, Howard William Morenz was born in the village of Mitchell on September 21, 1902. His father,Williain Frederick, was of German descent and worked as a clerk in a clothing store, Although he learned to skate at an early age, Howie did not join an organized hockey team until 1915 when he became a goalie for the Mitchell Juveniles. He allowed 21 goals in his first game and was quickly converted into a forward where his skating abilities could be exploited. The team, which went on to win the Western Ontario Juvenile championship, had only seven players, so each had to play the whole game. The following year the Morenz family moved to Stratford where Howie's father soon took a job in the shops of the Grand Trunk Railway. Howie played with the Stratford Midgets as a centre and after he joined his father in the railway shops as an apprentice machinist, he played with the Grand Trunk Railway Appren- tice Hockey League. By the time he was, 20 his ex- cellent play had impressed many and had attracted the attention of several professional hockey teams. Offers from Toronto, Saskatoon and Victoria were turned down before Morenz reluctantly signed a contract with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League in 1923. The indignation of his fans in Stratford and region was great when they learned that he had been lured away by commercial hockey. Morenz's career in the National Hockey League spanned fourteen years, all but two were spent with, Montreal. His exceptionally skilful play made him a success during his first season. His speed had earlier earned him the nickname "The Stratford Streak," His obsession to win was so great that following a loss, particularly if he held himself responsible, he would remain awake for most of the night. During his career Morenz won the Hart Trophy as the most valuable player on three oc- casions and twice won the League's scoring title. In 14 seasons he scored 291 goals and ' accumulated 208 assists. His popularity and appeal during this period was so great that he was recognized as the League's chief A:Ix-office at- traction. He ' filled arenas wherever he played and when the N.H.L. launched its first team in ,,New Yor,k the teams owner, Tex Richard, requested that Morenz and the Canadiens be the opposition for the first game there.Widely called the "Babe Ruth of Hockey", Morenz made a major contribution to the success of the National Hockey League during its early years.
