Statue of Maurice Richard, Bronze sculpture at Maurice Richard Arena in Montreal, Canada
The Statue of Maurice Richard stands outside the Maurice Richard Arena on Rue Viau and captures the hockey player in motion holding his stick. The bronze sculpture reaches about 7 feet (2.21 meters) tall and shows Richard in the heat of the game wearing his number 9 jersey.
The statue was created by sculptors Annick Bourgeau and Jules Lasalle as a tribute to hockey history in Montreal. It marks the achievement of the first NHL player to reach 50 goals in a single season, a milestone that happened during the 1944-1945 season.
The sculpture celebrates Maurice Richard as a figure whose hockey achievements became a source of pride for French Canadian communities. His legacy extends beyond sports into how people remember identity and success in Montreal.
The statue is located at the entrance of the Maurice Richard Arena near Olympic Stadium, making it easy to find and visit. The outdoor setting offers clear views from multiple angles for photography and observation.
The sculpture deliberately enlarges Richard's figure to emphasize his presence and the raw power of his skating. This size choice captures not just his body but the force of his presence on the ice.
