3/26/1974 YVAN COURNOYER Goal Scored PUCK vs Vancouver Canucks & comes from 1973/74 NHL Registered Goal Program.  

This was the 2nd of 2 Goals scored by "The Roadrunner" this night in a 4-3 victory in Vancouver.  It was Cournoyer's 39th of the season (315 Career Goal) and was scored on the power play at 17:09 of the 3rd period.  Assisted by HOF Great FRANK MAHOVLICH.

Coding corresponds to the 271st Goal Scored by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1973/74 season.    

Also comes from a HISTORICAL GAME that is 3rd ALL TIME in Habs History for allowing the fewest shots on goal by an opponent in a game-12 shots.

In 1972 founders of a company named Hockey Diversified Inc. envisioned that each puck shot into the net to produce an official goal scored in an NHL hockey game would develop a degree of intrinsic collector value for hockey fans everywhere. The founders took this idea to the NHL and procured the rights to all such NHL pucks during regular season and playoff games for a period of five years. Pucks shot into the net for a goal were collected by the referees, given to the time keepers to label and then shipped to Hockey Diversified to further label with scoring details. The pucks were then marketed to the public by Hockey Diversified Inc. Unfortunately, this idea was ahead of its time and pucks sold poorly. The program lasted only two seasons, 1972-73 and 1973-74. Hockey Diversified Inc. dissolved shortly thereafter.

Each puck originally distributed by Hockey Diversified could be obtained by mail with the buyer’s choice of team and possibly player. A label was affixed to each puck listing the scorer, team and date, along with a code that divulged which team-goal said puck accounted for.  

AMAZING PUCK !!
