Joe Benoit was a key member of the early 1940's Canadiens teams. A gifted goalscorer and playmaker, Benoit made a name for himself as a winger with the Trail Smoke Eaters Allen Cups team in the late 1930's. He became only the fifth Habs player to notch 30 goals in a season in his third campaign in 1943.
Unfortunately for Benoit, he went off to serve in World War II the following season, while his role on the club, and his production, was filled in whole by Maurice Richard.
Benoit returned from duty in 1946 and contributed handsomely to the Canadiens 1946 Cup year.
