Hockey legend Henri Richard has died at 84 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Early in his career Henri Richard was known as the brother of legend Maurice 'Rocket' Richard but it didn't take long for him to make a name for himself. He was best known as the 'Pocket Rocket'. He played with the Habs from 1955 to 1975 playing 1,256 games and throughout his whole career he earned 11 Stanley Cups, the most ever won by a player. R.I.P to a legend!
