From 1953 until 1963, he was a member of the Montreal Canadiens. During his career, the club won the Stanley Cup six times, five of which were consecutive. Plante was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players of All Time" in 2017. He died on September 17, 1983 at the age of 53. Jacques Plante played in only 91 games over six seasons with the Canadiens, but he still ranks third all-time among goalies in franchise history behind Henri Déa and Bernie Parent. In addition to winning the Stanley Cup six times, the Canadiens also appeared in the final eight years straight from 1955 to 1962. That's more than any other team in NHL history. Furthermore, four of those championships took place while Plante was still playing for the club. In fact, he was the first goalie used by the Canadiens during each of their title runs. The last game he played before being traded to the New York Rangers was also his last game as a Canadien, as he finished off the season with them after being acquired in a trade with the team that would become his main employer - the Chicago Black Hawks. After leaving Montreal, Plante went on to win two more titles with the Blackhawks. He retired after the 1967 season having won 28 games that year.
