Collection: Montreal Canadiens Hockey Cards

Montreal Canadiens hockey cards are steeped in history, featuring legends like Maurice Richard, Jean Béliveau, and Patrick Roy. Béliveau and Richard’s vintage Parkhurst cards are iconic grail items, while modern collectors seek rookie cards for stars like Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki. Young Guns editions, autographs, and parallel inserts of Canadiens rookies and legends are highly sought after in the hockey card market.

The Montreal Canadiens, founded in 1909, stand as hockey’s most storied franchise with a record 24 Stanley Cup championships, legendary players, and over a century of tradition. As one of the NHL’s Original Six teams, the Canadiens dominated multiple eras, beginning with early stars like Howie Morenz and goaltender George Hainsworth, capturing titles throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The 1950s produced one of sports’ greatest dynasties as Montreal, led by Maurice “Rocket” Richard, Jean Béliveau, and goaltender Jacques Plante, won five straight Stanley Cups from 1956 to 1960 under coach Toe Blake, with Richard becoming the first player to score 50 goals in 50 games. The 1960s and 1970s brought another golden era featuring Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson, and goaltender Ken Dryden, as the Canadiens captured six titles in the 1970s, including four straight from 1976 to 1979. The 1986 championship introduced rookie goaltender Patrick Roy, whose legendary playoff performances carried Montreal to another title in 1993, the franchise’s most recent Stanley Cup and the last by any Canadian team. Known for their passionate fan base at the historic Montreal Forum and now the Bell Centre, the Canadiens have produced countless Hall of Famers while setting records for championships, scoring leaders, and individual accolades. Recent seasons have focused on rebuilding around young talents like Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and 2022 first-overall pick Juraj Slafkovský, aiming to return Montreal to contention. From Richard and Béliveau to Lafleur, Roy, and today’s rising stars, the Canadiens’ history blends unmatched tradition, legendary players, and a legacy as the NHL’s most iconic franchise.
