Montreal Canadiens Program Cover - Montreal Forum Floating Heads 1946

The advent of digital design and sophisticated photography has dramatically transformed the look and feel of the classic game-night program that captured the attention of fans. As early as the 1920’s, portraits and caricatures captured the scope of what fans would find at the rink. This early Forum program from 1946 featured a unique illustration of Montreal Canadiens players skating along with some headshots of legends Howie Morenz, Georges Vézin and  Elmer Lach.
