Rarely seen Canadiens team photo pictures the Montreal squad lined up and standing outside on wooden boards, with indications pointing to the 1927-28 season. The presence of Herb Gardiner, Marty Burke and Gizzy Hart, along with the fact that Georges Mantha had not yet arrived (he began his career in ‘28-29), help us to zero in on the year. Legends Howie Morenz, Aurele Joliat and George Hainsworth are most notable, with Lepine, Leduc, Larochelle, Gagne and captain Sylvio Mantha also present. “Lucien Desjardins” is the name of the photographer, with the matte-finish image measuring just over 4” by 13-1/2”. A significant crease, top to bottom in the right hand side is to mention, along with a few other lesser peripheral creases. Applied to a gray-colored mat, it should excite Habs’ historians. Morenz won the scoring title (ahead of Joliat) in leading Montreal to the regular season championship.
