1966 Topps hockey card of legendary former Montreal Canadiens’ captain Jean Beliveau, who played 20 seasons for the NHL’s most storied franchise. Individual honors that he earned during his career include 2 Hart Trophies as league MVP, a Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP and an Art Ross Trophy as the league’s high scorer for a season. His real accomplishments, however, were always team-oriented, as he played on 10 Stanley Cup champion teams in Montreal, then served in a front office capacity as the franchise won 7 more titles. Beliveau was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972 and passed away in December of 2014.
