  • Summary

  • This week, Kate was inspired to go back a couple of weeks to St Patrick's Day and brings a St Paddy's Day theme about Irish immigration to Haliburton County in the early 1900's. Plus Paul has the story of Maurice 'Rocket' Richard, possibly one of the best Canadian professional hockey players who's career with the Montreal Canadiens spanned 1942 to 1960. Maurice was a mercurial, passionate, player who was targeted by opposing players trying to slow him down - and he wasn't afraid to retaliate. In 1955 he was suspended for an episode where he retaliated against a Boston Bruins player, punching a linesman in the process. Maurice was supended and Montreal fans were enraged leading to the 'Richard Riot' that caused over a million dollars in damage, injuries, and arrests.
