The narrative carries him from his birth in Mitchell, Ontario, through his efforts to secure a second consecutive Stanley Cup Championship for himself, his teammates and his fans. The reader will have the opportunity to learn about the unique physical skills that he brought to competitive hockey as well as to understand the physical and psychological burdens that his approach to the game imposed upon him.By rigorously testing anecdotal accounts against actual game reports and reliable collateral sources, Murray has reconstructed a reliable account of the season when Howie Morenz definitively established his own contribution to the enduring character and mystique of the Canadiens hockey club. In doing so, Murray has been able to both fill gaps in the historical record of Morenz’s athletic achievements as well as identify new understandings of how Morenz proposed the professional game could be played.About the authorDonald Murray grew up in Lachine on the island of Montréal, Quebec, during the Richard, Beliveau and Lafleur eras of hockey’s Les Canadiens. He acquired a cultural research background and factual analytical discipline over the course of his career as a barrister.-L'événement se déroulera en anglais.Bibliothèque et Archives Canada vous invite au lancement du livre Howie Morenz: The Greatest Season in the Life of Hockey’s First Legend, de Donald Murray.À la fois biographie et étude culturelle, l’ouvrage retrace, match après match, la saison 1930-1931 du hockeyeur Howie Morenz au sein de la Ligue nationale de hockey. On y suit Morenz (originaire de Mitchell, en Ontario) alors qu’il bataille pour permettre à son équipe de remporter une deuxième Coupe Stanley consécutive, au grand bonheur des supporteurs. On y découvre par le fait même les habiletés uniques de Morenz, ainsi que le fardeau physique et psychologique découlant de son approche du jeu.Donald Murray a rigoureusement vérifié chaque anecdote en se basant sur les comptes rendus des matchs et d’autres sources fiables. Il offre un récit crédible de la saison où Morenz a laissé sa marque au sein de son équipe, contribuant à forger la légende des Canadiens de Montréal. En parallèle, l’auteur comble les lacunes au chapitre des réalisations sportives de Morenz, tout en jetant un nouvel éclairage sur la façon dont celui-ci voulait faire évoluer le hockey professionnel.À propos de l’auteurDonald Murray a grandi au Québec, plus précisément à Lachine, sur l’île de Montréal, durant les années de gloire de Maurice Richard, Jean Béliveau et Guy Lafleur au sein des Canadiens. Sa carrière en droit lui a donné de solides aptitudes en recherche culturelle et en analyse factuelle. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ottawa/book-launch-lancement-de-livre-donald-murray-howie-morenz/100001765124618249 - **Event Categories**: sports, workshops, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fbook-launch-lancement-de-livre-donald-murray-howie-morenz-tickets-1765124618249 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Ottawa - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: 395 Wellington St - **lat**: 45.4198501 - **long**: -75.70807580000002 - **full address**: 395 Wellington St, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Library and Archives Canada - Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (https://allevents.in/org/library-and-archives-canada-bibliothèque-et-archives-canada/18490093) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a1fcd5ab3ec4ebcbb1e8fe05088705c89f3c04a4d07def0d499ed3783c73b5e4-rimg-w800-h400-dcbebebe-gmir.jpg?v=1762294646 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/7f115cc41e2d82f483b66b95966e25dad3b6f6e82acfab9617029b691daa4e44-rimg-w400-h400-dcc0c0c0-gmir.jpg?v=1762294646 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 04 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 395 Wellington St, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 CAD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Library and Archives Canada - Bibliothèque et Archives Canada - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** sports, workshops, art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Book launch / Lancement de livre : Donald Murray (Howie Morenz) ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Book launch / Lancement de livre : Donald Murray (Howie Morenz)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a1fcd5ab3ec4ebcbb1e8fe05088705c89f3c04a4d07def0d499ed3783c73b5e4-rimg-w800-h400-dcbebebe-gmir.jpg?v=1762294646", "startDate": "2025-12-04", "endDate": "2025-12-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/ottawa/book-launch-lancement-de-livre-donald-murray-howie-morenz/100001765124618249", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "395 Wellington St", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "395 Wellington Street", "postalCode": "K1A 0N4", "addressLocality": "Ottawa", "addressRegion": "ON", "addressCountry": "CA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "45.4198501", "longitude": "-75.70807580000002" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Book launch / Lancement de livre - Howie Morenz: The Greatest Season in the Life of Hockey's First Legend by/par Donald Murray", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "CAD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-12-04", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/ottawa/book-launch-lancement-de-livre-donald-murray-howie-morenz/100001765124618249" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "CAD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/ottawa/book-launch-lancement-de-livre-donald-murray-howie-morenz/100001765124618249", "price": 0, "name": "Ticket - Billet" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Library and Archives Canada - Bibliothque et Archives Canada", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/library-and-archives-canada-bibliothèque-et-archives-canada/18490093", "description": "About Library and Archives Canada\r\nThe mandate of Library and Archives Canada is to preserve the documentary heritage of Canada for the benefit of present and future generations, and to be a source of enduring knowledge accessible to all, thereby contributing to the cultural, social and economic advancement of Canada.
