GREATNESS (Continued from page 8) of the hockey puck. Confounding the experts - Morenz played season-after-season, and set about building his 270 goals with 197 assists - winning the Hart Tro- phy three times and, generally, swept the game along before him. He was only happy playing hoc- key, in Montreal, for Canadiens - and he loved the fame and glory which travelled with his genius. Then - after eleven ser sons (and at 31-years of age) Morenz was suddenly considered "over the hill" __ and was sold to Chicago. High-strung, tempera- mental, Howie went to pieces when he realized that Canadiens no longer wanted him. It had come at last -- as it must to all performers. Morenz was slowing down! But he couldn't quit (for HONOURABLE GEORGE E.

Once more he was traded. in mid-season this time, to thc.Rangers, where he finished-out a dismal year. Then - with the new season of 1936- and 37, "The Stratford Streak" was brought back to Montreal. Perhaps it was sentiment or pity which brought his recall to his old team - but whatever it was, it created one of the great thrills of Canadian sport. For unbeliev- able as it sounds - at 35-years of age - the "Stratford Streak" changed overnight from "an old- timer over the hill" and (slowly, at first) like an express train gathering steam, he built anew pIaying'hockey was all he wanted to do) but Canadiens didn't want him.

Back to the heights of glory crashed Howie Morenz, forcing his body to take the strain or his younger, fresher days. He played hockey as only he knew how, and for the only team he knew. But, a rolling-fall on the ice “called the last turn" for the great Centre . . . and he was carried from the ice with a double fractured leg. It was a serious break, but no one guess- ed that Moron: was thru. His re- covery was slow and the Doctors blamed the continual stream of visitors to his hospital room. Then, early. on March 8th, 1937 -- Howie had a complete check-up. miles between King Street and Homer Watson Boulevard, including the construction of interchanges at Courtland Avenue, Homer Watson Boulevard and structures at the Canadian National Railway, Ottawa Street and Schneider Creek. Construction will begin by October 15 and the project is scheduled for com- pletion by July 31, 1969. - “a” "it mamas” at 1tMk'.aet, arm- He seemed to be sound as a bell - even his leg was healing well. But, a few hours later the stun. ning words flashed across the Continent: "Howie Moron: - the "Stratford Streak", is dead!” It was the end of an era in Hockey - the end of the greatest “come back" in sporting history'. Ed's. note: Though called the Stratford Streak, Howie was really a native of Mitchell.
