LONGUEUIL, Que. - Montreal Canadiens greats are gathering today to remember one of their own.
Longtime Habs captain Emile (Butch) Bouchard died last Saturday at the age of 92.
The funeral for the four-time Stanley Cup winner is being held at a church in Longueuil, just off the island of Montreal where he grew up.
The defenceman scored 49 goals in 785 games during his 15-year NHL career, captaining the Habs for eight seasons before retiring in 1956.
The Canadiens won the Stanley Cup four times while Bouchard was with the team, twice while he was captain.
