JEAN BELIVEAU / MONTREAL CANADIENS 1995 Timeless Legends NHL Starting Lineup & Collector Trading Card. Packaged exclusively for Canada. Displayed figure stands approximately 4 inches. From Kenner. Jean Arthur "Le Gros Bill" Beliveau (born August 31, 1931) is a former professional ice hockey player who played parts of 20 seasons with the National Hockey Leagues Montreal Canadiens. As a player, he won the Stanley Cup 10 times, and as an executive he was part of another seven championship teams, the most Stanley Cup victories by an individual to date. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972. Beliveau became a star in Quebecs amateur leagues, and was called up twice for brief appearances by the Canadiens in 1950-51 and 1952-53. He led the Quebec Senior Hockey League in scoring in 1953. However, he did not appear to show much interest in playing professionally. Finally, Selke got an idea-if the QSHL were somehow turned into a professional league, Beliveau would be a professional as well, and under the terms of the B-form he would have to sign with the Habs. At Selkes suggestion, the Canadiens bought the QSHL and converted it from an amateur league to a minor pro league. This forced Beliveau to join the Canadiens for the 1953-54 NHL season (though the Habs owned the NHL rights to all of the leagues players in any case). Three years later, in 1956, Beliveau won both the Art Ross Memorial Trophy as the leagues scoring champion and the Hart Memorial Trophy as its most valuable player. During his 18 full seasons in Montreal, he played on 10 Stanley Cup winning teams 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1971. Beliveau retired at the end of the 1970-71 NHL season as his teams all-time leader in points, second all-time in goals and the NHLs all-time leading playoff scorer. He scored 507 goals and had 712 assists for 1,219 points in 1,125 NHL regular-season games plus 79 goals and 97 assists for 176 points in 162 playoff games.
