Leonard Patrick "Red" Kelly, CM (born 9 July 1927 in Port Dover, Ontario) is a Canadian former hockey player in the NHL. He has won the Stanley Cup more times, eight (8), than any player who ever played for the Montreal Canadiens.
Kelly grew up listening to Foster Hewitt's broadcasts of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and was particularly inspired by the style of their hard-charging defenceman, Red Horner. Kelly also attended Doan's Hollow Public School in Port Dover. In his later years, he would be the owner of a bowling alley in Simcoe until the bowling alley was burned to the ground. However, while playing junior hockey for the St. Michael's Majors, he was encouraged to refine his style by his coach, former Leaf great Joe Primeau.

Although the Majors were usually a talent pipeline for the Leafs, they passed on Kelly after a scout predicted he wouldn't last 20 games in the NHL, and the nineteen year-old joined the Detroit Red Wings in 1947. In over 12 years as a Red Wing the team won 8 regular-season championships, the Stanley Cup 4 times and Kelly was chosen as a first team All-Star team 6 times.

In 1954 he was runner-up for the Hart Trophy and won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenceman, the first time the trophy was awarded and also won the Lady Byng Trophy in 1951, 1953, and 1954 as the NHL's most gentlemanly player.

Yvan Serge Cournoyer (born November 22, 1943 in Drummondville, Quebec) is a former hockey player in the National Hockey League (NHL) who played for the Montreal Canadiens from 1963 to 1979.

Due to his blazing speed and small size, Cournoyer was dubbed "The Roadrunner." He credited his speed to longer blades on his ice skates, which reduced his maneuverability, but gave him a speed boost.

In 16 seasons of play, Cournoyer established himself as one of the premier right wingers in the NHL, scoring 428 goals and 435 assists in 968 games. Perhaps the finest moment in his career came in the playoffs in 1973, where he scored 15 goals in 17 games and was the recipient of the Conn Smythe Trophy, which is awarded to the MVP of the NHL's playoffs at their conclusion. Cournoyer played in six All-Star Games, and was on 10 Stanley Cup-winning teams.
