On October 7, 1995, the Canadiens honor the late Jacques Plante by raising his No. 1 to the rafters. A true trailblazer, Plante not only popularized the goalie mask, he also revolutionized the goaltending position. Over his 11 seasons in Montreal, the legendary netminder led the Canadiens to six Stanley Cups; his 314 wins are a franchise record that still stands today.
