The Montreal Forum on November 2nd 1937 hosted a memorial benefit game following the untimely death the previous March of Habs legend Howie Morenz. A mixed team of Canadiens and Maroons players faced off against the top talent from the rest of the league, with all proceeds going to the Morenz family. This vintage souvenir pin with attached ribbon was available at the venue. Measuring 1 ¼” in diameter with a 5” long ribbon, both feature images of the fallen star, with the text in both French and English. The pin itself suffers from some discolouration around the perimeter (image not affected), while the ribbon - usually lost to time and not found with most surviving examples - displays a few creases and a small hole near the top, with a tiny bit of staining in two places on the reverse.
