But the Stanley Cups, the Summit series, the Hall of Fame and now having my jersey retired - it couldn't end up better.
"Yvan Serge "The Roadrunner" Cournoyer" is a retired Canada/Canadian Ice hockey/hockey Winger (hockey)/right winger who played in the National Hockey League for the Montreal Canadiens from 1963–64 NHL season/1963 to 1978–79 NHL season/1979. Cournoyer was born in Drummondville, Quebec. He was nicknamed "The Roadrunner" due to his small size and blazing speed, which he credited to longer blades on his skates. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982.
More Yvan Cournoyer on Wikipedia.I always respected No. 12. There were pictures in the room of people who had played for Montreal and I knew what (Moore) had done before, so I wanted to continue the good work.
When I was told my number was going to be retired, my whole career ran through my head, ... I first went to the Forum as a 17-year-old and I retired at 35. I thought, 'Wow! Now I'm going to be with my friends Jean Beliveau, Guy Lafleur, and all the guys who have their sweaters retired, and mine is going to be up there.' It's something so special.
Tonight, I got the ultimate.
