MY LIFE IN 1958
EC's Hopin' It's Great in '58

And now for all you hockey fans, here's a quick review of the 1957-58 National Hockey League... this season saw the Montreal Canadiens regain first place overall, while the previous season's leader, the Detroit Red Wings, slipped to third... it was the Canadiens' third straight Stanley Cup title... Montreal's Maurice "Rocket" Richard became the first NHL player to score 500 career goals, Jacques Plante won his third straight Vezina Trophy and Doug Harvey his fourth straight Norris Trophy.

This season also saw the first player of African descent play in the league. Willie O'Ree suited up with the Boston Bruins on January 18, 1958, in a game against the Canadiens in Montreal.
