Step back into one of the most iconic seasons of the NHL’s Original Six era with the re-release of the 1959–60 season, now available officially through Strat-O-Matic. This year marked the final full season for Maurice “Rocket” Richard, and fittingly, he went out a champion—leading the Montreal Canadiens to their fifth straight Stanley Cup title, a streak unmatched to this day.

Montreal’s dynasty was in full force, finishing first in the regular season with a 40–18–12 record. The Canadiens were powered by Jean Béliveau (34 goals, 74 points), Bernie Geoffrion (30 goals, 71 points), Maurice’s brother Henri Richard (career-high 30 goals), Norris Trophy winner Doug Harvey, and Jacques Plante in net, who posted a 2.54 GAA to lead the league in that category for the fifth consecutive season.

Montreal then swept through the postseason, defeating both the Chicago Black Hawks and Toronto Maple Leafs for the second straight season to win the Cup.

But the 1959–60 season wasn’t just about Montreal’s dominance. Bobby Hull is MVP caliber in both seasons we’re releasing. Here, the 21-year-old version leads the league in goals (39) for the first time in his career, adding 42 assists to just inch out Bronco Horvath (39-41) as points leader. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings’ Gordie Howe continued his remarkable consistency, finishing second in overall scoring with 73 points, and winning the league’s Hart Trophy as MVP for a record fifth time.

This card set includes all Original Six teams, Montreal Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and New York. Gamers who already own the Windows version of the season will be able to access this new, updated version of the season with the code they already have with the new game.
