The Montreal Canadiens celebrated their 100th anniversary in grand style on December 4, 2009. Habs icons Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard, Guy Lafleur and Patrick Roy were front and centre amid the dozens of the team's alumni on hand for the pre-game festivities prior to the Habs' Centennial Game against Boston. This magnificent limited-edition Montreal Canadiens Centennial framed print from the personal collection of Henri Richard is signed by 100 Habs legends. Number 89 of 2,009, it features a Maurice Richard cut autograph which stands alone in the middle of the massive 42" x 60" frame. Butch Bouchard and Elmer Lach both had their numbers retired prior to the Canadiens' 5-1 win over the Bruins and each signed here along with Beliveau, Henri Richard, Lafleur, Roy and fellow HOFers Cournoyer, Duff, Lapointe, Moore, Serge Savard and Shutt. Numerous alumni have signed along with members of the 2009-10 team. Their blue Sharpie signatures are displayed in a cut-out, which measures roughly 12" x 48" along the bottom of the display, and features a night-time winter scene. Moon beams in blue, white and red shine down on "100" written in the snow with a hockey stick, puck and skates resting against a fence in this scene signed in the lower right by artist "Rufi...Ange". This print is hand-numbered "89/2009" in the lower right corner with an Iconic Dreams holo-foil beneath it. Henri Richard's signed letter of authenticity accompanies this signed frame.
