It was that power play that lead the Kings to their first Stanley Cup win!

How many sisters did Maurice Richard have?

His name was Richard Maurice Bucke. Many Canadians and English followed the custom of being called by a second name, as was he and as am I.

I have all the Bucke names, dates of birth, death, etc., if interested. My maternal great-grandfather was the elder brother of Richard Maurice Bucke, his name was Philip Eustace Bucke. I was born in 1926 so if you would like information re the family, etc., you'd better ask! RMB's grandson and I kept in touch for several years. He passed two years ago. He was the last of the RMB line, his own son having been killed in a car accident when a student at the U. of BC. The grandson's wife and daughter live in Ontario. We keep in touch.
