This is probably my favourite pre-game ceremony ever. I remember watching it at the time, and was pleasantly surprised to notice recently that the game is on YouTube. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the franchise, the Montreal Canadiens named their all-time starting All-Star team.
The ceremony starts at about the 10:50 mark of the video
If this happened today, the main board would be having a heart attack that the retired players were allowed to skate around without helmets, or that Joliat fell twice, but he was clearly enjoying the experience.
Sadly, this would have been the last season it would be possible to have that group together. Frank Selke passed away later that year, and Jacques Plante the following year.
