Richard Martin, René Robert, Gilbert Perreault.

All three players were French-Canadians from Quebec: Martin from Verdun, Robert from Trois-Rivières and Perreault from Victoriaville.

Each player's jerseys were retired; Perreault's #11 was retired during a ceremony on October 17, 1990, and Robert's #14 and Martin's #7 were retired on November 15, 1995. All three numbers hang together from the KeyBank Center rafters under a French Connection banner.
