The city of Montreal was lit up like a Christmas tree; cars were overturned: trash baskets set alight; store windows broken; millions of dollars of worth of damage committed, and all over a hockey game and the loss of Maurice Richard, a hockey player. To French Canadians, Maurice Richard, "The Rocket", was not just any hockey player. His intensity, ferocity, and goal-scoring exploits were a source of tremendous pride. Like no other figure at that time, he was revered and idolized. For the average Quebecer the Rocket's success not only became their own, but also symbolized their deeper aspirations for a separate voice and identity. <25mn>
