Aurèle Émile Joliat « Litte Giant »

Le dernier tour de piste sur la glace de Montréal pour Aurèle Joliat a eu lieu en 1984 lorsque les Canadiens dévoilèrent une Équipe de rêve à l'occasion des célébrations entourant le 75e anniversaire de l'équipe. Joliat, qui avait disputé la première partie de l'histoire du Forum, a été présenté en tant que le plus vieux joueur des Canadiens toujours en vie. L'homme de 83 ans a gagné le cœur de l'imposante foule lorsque, après avoir trébuché à quelques reprises lors de sa tentative, il est parvenu à pousser la rondelle derrière Jacques Plante.

He demonstrates more heart and soul here than any Habs over the past 30 years.

[@michelbeaulieu]

J'étais là! Ma plus belle soirée au Forum...

[@SparkyBobcat-el8hf]

Remember watching this & remember him falling ...( God bless his soul).

[@MontrealJunior]

Just the entire legends at the time.

[@davidrohlfing9055]

I saw him at the closing ceremonies for the old Madison Square Garden in February 1968. They honored about 60 all time greats,and Joliat stole the show with a perfectly executed figure 8, waving his famous trademark cap. He was a line mate of Howie Morenz.

[@SparkyBobcat-el8hf]

Very cool...

[@richardbourgault5127]

Une belle leçon de courage et de détermination!

[@3sunsystem]

I remember watching this on TV with my dad.

[@robertoautore9252]

83 years old, if I look that good at his age it would be a blessing from God. Legend Aurele Joliat

[@bretsheppard5818]

He was one of the best players in the 20's and 30's, and this little gem is truly heart warming.

[@Altasren]

So now I can say I've seen the great Aurel Joliat score a goal.

[@TNTQc]

Sa réaction après avoir potter dans le net vaut cent millions!!!

[@halon7476]

He falls down many times and gets back up like it's no big deal. What a bad ass😄👍🇨🇦🏒

[@tomaaron6187]

I watched this with my father and son live on tv. Montreal Canadiens hockey was a bond that brought our generations together..

[@davidprice9939]

I remember this, I love my 1955-56 All-Time Great Parkhurst card of his.

[@4orrcountry]

Aurel here demonstrates a love for the game that warms hearts everywhere, mere words are inadequate. God bless you Monsieur Joliat!

[@rollyjoseph5908]

Bravo! Épatant monsieur ! ! Cela fait chaud au coeur! Encore plein de vitalité ! ! Woot! Woot!!!!! Go HABS Go!!!!

One of my favourite NHL moments of all time! Thanks Gordle Wordle for prompting me to watch ut again. And yes, I got 'Joliat' on the 6th and final try

[@ashiminhas7553]

Awesome 😊

[@HardRockMiner]

I saw this on HCN when it happened. I remember thinking how great it was even though I hated Montreal. Lol! Gives me goosebumps today.

[@Acnoth]

Little bastard stole the show. :-) Tremendous!

[@JohnDoe-le7ml]

even as a Penguins fan, I'm giving this video a thumbs up.

[@RuhtraTirinal]

I'm not a speaker of French, but thank you for sharing this. It's very neat to see Aurel Joliat in action, even if its not during his playing days.

[@pmurray165]

That is great. Wonderful. He played in the 1920's. And skates better than my little brother.

[@gynandroidhead]

I think he tripped over two wires and the carpet.

[@justinsanft5134]

I was there live that night

[@reid_cr5251]

[@G.Michael.Hall.22]

Watched this live :)

[@MontrealJunior]

This one was memorable, momentarily going back to wearing the red jersey at home.

[@antikriss]

Génial!!

[@frfmrslegault2372]

Merci Cole Caufield pour tes 2 buts en 8 secondes. Grâce à toi j’ai pu connaître cette légende!

[@paspep]

Un instant, caulfield, a plusieurs croutes a manger avant d atteindre la cheville de Monsieur Aurele Joliat peut etre dans 15 ans si il continue... Joliat etait une superstar un des meilleur au monde, l equivalent d un pat bergeron ou d un sydney crosby d aujourd hui......

[@frfmrslegault2372]

@@paspep Je regardais des vidéos du CH et de cole C et j'suis tombé sur ce vidéo mec x) mais j'suis d'accord avec toi.

[@GetBenched2010]

I want to be able to skate and play hockey when I'm in my mid 80s.

[@ElectoneGuy]

I remember taping that game.

[@patrick9767]

La premiere fois, il s'est enfargé dans le tapis, la seconde fois, il a montré qu'il pouvait passé dessus sans tomber.

[@dustylover100]

Classy move by the Buffalo player to help him up after falling the first time.

[@christopheroliver2465]

Dave Maloney!

[@SparkyBobcat-el8hf]

Sweet class move.

[@gordonklassen3182]

It was, and Aurel shook him off, dropped a puck and kept going. Classic moment.

[@stangleeze]

Even wore his skates from 1929

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

😃😀😁🥰❤💙💪🙏👍

[@daveyboy_]

83 and he smoked.

[@tallac92Iro]

Triste au moins il persévere!Fou ce que la vieillesse peut faire

[@piccolina721]

Damn this guy was made of iron i would have had two broken ribs and how dare he wear number 4 before Beliveau !

[@noraaxam]

He retired in 38. Beliveau was born in 31 lol

[@danbratten3103]

He also wore #3. Why isn't his name and 1 of the two different numbers he wore, hanging from the rafters?

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

I watched this live! It was super-cringy / funny / and heartfelt all at the same time! Who put that darn carpet in his way?

[@Section5_CdnIntelService]

Tough little SOB!
