Ranger Room: Gump Worsley, who was born in Montreal on a Tuesday of today’s date in 1929, started his NHL career in 1952 with the New York Rangers. He’s at home in his rec room here in 1963, the year he was traded to his hometown Canadiens in a deal that saw Dave Balon, Leon Rochefort, and Len Ronson join him in a trade that sent Jacques Plante, Don Marshall, and Phil Goyette to the Rangers. “I never wear a mask, not even in practice,” Worsley said during his New York years. “Cuts and nicks are part of the game. Many people will tell you goalkeeping is the toughest job, but I don’t think so. If you know what you’re doing you should be okay.” (Image: Fonds La Presse, BAnQ Vieux-Montréal)
