MONTREAL – It was announced on Monday that former Canadiens goaltender Rogatien Vachon will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2016.
Born in Palmarolle, QC, Rogatien Vachon spent the first five years of his career in a Canadiens uniform, finishing with a record of 110-56-30 in 206 games played with Montreal.
During the 1967-68 season, his second season in bleu-blanc-rouge, Vachon and Gump Worsley formed a tandem to be reckoned with in front of the Montreal net, which led to them sharing the Vezina Trophy as the league’s best goaltenders and helped the club win the first of two consecutive Stanley Cups.
