Richard Riot in Montreal – This DiSH for March 17

~ ThisDayInSports

In 1955, French Canadians and fans of Montreal’s Maurice ‘Rocket’ Richard rioted in protest of their star being suspended.

In 1897, it was a boxing match to remember.

And in 2012, Fabrice Muamba collapsed during an FA Cup match.

Montreal Rules Played for First Time – This DiSH for March 3

~ ThisDayInSports

In 1875, the game we know today as Hockey started to take shape with a set of written rules and the first known use of a puck. 

In 1920, the Montreal Canadiens scored 16 goals in an NHL game. That’s still the record for most scored by one team.

And in 1990, Hakeem Olajuwon came close to a rare quadruple-double, but wait…he did…but wait…he didn’t.
