Born August 29, in Ottawa, Ontario, was Hockey Hall of Fame Left Wing, Aurele Joliat. He was known by many as the Little Giant Joliat, and by others as the Mighty Atom, and whatever people said they all agrees he was a magnificent skater in hockey. Joliat helped the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup in 1924 over the WCHL's Calgary Tigers. He helped the Canadiens win two more cups in 1930 and 1931. His best season was in 1925, when teamed with Howie Morenz and Billy Boucher. Joliat scored 29 goals to lead the NHL, and his 41 points would be a career high. All in he played 16 seasons in the National Hockey League. The Mighty Atom finished his career with 270 goals and 460 points in 655 games. At the time of his retirement, Joliat was the NHL career leader in games played, a mark he held until surpassed by Hooley Smith in 1940.
