The Canadiens will announce tomorrow whose numbers they will retire. Roy possibly? "With the possible exception of the New York Yankees, no North American sports team has had as storied and as successful a history as the Canadiens, the oldest team in professional hockey.
The Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cups and have the most individuals in the Hockey Hall of Fame, with forty-one members inducted since the Hall was built in 1961."

And the retired nubers will be for No. 5 for Bernard (Boom Boom) Geoffrion, the "inventor" of the slapshot, and No. 12 for both Dickie Moore and Yvan Cournoyer.
"No. 12 will be retired Nov. 12 before a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs while No. 5 will go to the rafters in the Bell Centre on March 11 before a game against the New York Rangers.
The Canadiens already have seven retired numbers - No. 1 for Jacques Plante, No. 2 for Doug Harvey, No. 4 for Jean Beliveau, No. 7 for Howie Morenz, No. 9 for Maurice (Rocket) Richard, No. 10 for Guy Lafleur and No. 16 for Henri Richard."

Montreal Canadiens legends Dickie Moore and Yvan Cournoyer had their No. 12 jerseys retired before the Candiens faced the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Bell Centre.

Former Montreal Canadiens, from left, Dickie Moore, Bernard "Boom Boom" Geoffrion and Yvan Cournoyer pose for a photograph during a news conference announcing they will have their jerseys retired this season in a Saturday, Oct. 15, 2005 photo in Montreal. Dickie Moore and Yvan Cournoyer played such an important part in the storied history of the Montreal Canadiens. So it's fitting the team will twice honor the No. 12 they shared during nearly 30 years.
