TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
MAURICE RICHARD
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who would crash the internet if I were to attempt to list all of his accomplishments in this one post.
Providing a strong example of focus and dedication, Maurice “Rocket” Richard was known as unquestionably the most intense hockey player of his era, approaching the game with a steadfast refusal to quit or cut any corners.
This refusal to compromise on the ice earned him an incredible 8 Stanley Cups as a player, including five in a row from 1956 to 1960.
Richard led the league in goals five times during his 18-year career. A testament to his fiery style of play and willingness to mix skill with physicality, he also led the league in penalty minutes in 1953. He was among the league’s top eight players in penalty minutes in nine different seasons.
Richard scored a remarkable 544 goals in 978 career games, and achieved the rarest of feats when he scored 50 goals in 50 games in the 1944-45 season.
He had 82 goals in 133 playoff games, played in 13 consecutive All-Star Games, and was a post-season All-Star 13 times (and the league MVP in 1947).
To commemorate his virtually unparalleled contributions to the game, the NHL now awards the Rocket Richard Trophy to the league’s leader in goals scored every year.
