had been declining for about two
years, Morenz was traded to the
Chicago Black Hawks who, one
year later, traded him to the New
York Rangers. 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. He
crashed into the boards beside
the Chicago goal and broke his,
leg in five places. On March 8,
while appearing to be recovering
satisfactorily, he died of a heart
attack. A few weeks before he
had suffered a nervous break-
down, apparently the result of
worry over his future in hockey.
Morenz's funeral was held at
the Montreal Forum, attracted a
crowd of mourners, estimates) of
which ranged from 25,000 to
40,000. The newspapers reported
that it was the largest funeral in
Canadian history; Morenz was
buried in A,Ipunt Royal Cemetery.

On Sunday, September 14, 1975,

commemorating "Howie"
Morenz, one of Canada's most
outstanding hockey players, will
be unveiled in the park at the
intersection of Highways 23 and 8
in the town of Mitchell.
At the same time the park will
be named Howie Morenz
Memorial Gardens. The plaque is
being erected by the Ontario
Heritage Foundation an agency
within Ontario's Ministry of
Culture and Recreation.
Sunday's ceremony is being
sponsored by the town of Mitchell
and the Perth County Historical
Society. Harpld A. Cook, former
mayor of Mitchell, will be
programme chairman. Among
those who have been invited to
take part are: His Worship
Norman D.Walt, mayor of
Mitchell; William Jarvis, M.P.
for Perth-Wilmot; Professor
William Ormsby, a former
schoolmate of Howie Morenz;
Sam Pollock, vice-president and
general manager of the Montreal
Canadiens and Hector (Toe)
Blake, former player and coach
with the Montreal Canadiens.
The plaque will be unveiled by
Mrs. Gertrude Bushfield, the
sister of Howie Morenz, W. C,
Thorne, who managed the team
for which Morenz played in
Mitchell, Howard Morenz, the
son of the hockey star, and Mrs.
Bernard Geoffrion, Morenz's
daughter. 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.
In 1934, after his performance

night, Wednesday in Waterloo.
Crediton manager Russ Clarke
said he has been told by, a
provincial convener that if the
Paris appeal fails Woodslee
would be in Dashwood Saturday
afternoon for a two o'clock
contest in the first game of the
provincial final.
If Paris is reinstated they
would then play Crediton in the
semi-final with the first game in
Dashwood Saturday night at 8.30
