British Pathe has released a whole slew of new Montreal-related videos.
Not a whole ton of forechecking in old time hockey as these images from a 1932 hockey game between the Habs and Rangers and nobody can skate backwards!

This one shows Mayor Mederic Martin golfing with the future King Edward VIII in Montreal in 1919. Eddie would come back to visit Martin who was voted in and out of power a few times by a chubby guy, in a sort of earlier version of Coderre-replacing-Tremblay.
Some views of the city as the metro opened in 1966.
Big fire in 1951.
A Montreal Lacrosse player gets swatted on the back of the head by a Toronto rival. Note that the teams are wearing Habs and Leafs jerseys. I can't tell, however whether these are actual hockey players from those teams. Anybody?
Ships caught in ice.

Habs win 1966 Stanley Cup.
Here's some more luscious views of 1966 Montreal. Scenes from the Lafontaine Park zoo in 1967. Mass weddings in Montreal from 1939.

Future-but-never-crowned Edward VIII, not VII, shown in the Prince of Wales newsreel of 1919. Grandfather Edward VII died in 1910. And the BIG FIRE newsreel is the destruction of the Ste. Cunegonde nunnery/orphanage covered by Coolopolis in Feb. 2012.
