The
New Jersey Devils are pleased to select the "most physically talented man ever to sport the Toronto Maple Leaf colors"
Frank Mahovlich
"Frank Mahovlich was a talented and classy winger, a large man with the skills and hands of a pure scorer." - HHoF Bio
"There are other excellent skaters in the NHL... But no one else is so elegant, so electric, so furious, so fluid. Other skaters stride, he swoops. They glide, he soars. They sprint, he explodes. Head down, shoulder up, legs churning, one hand on his stick, Mahovlich looks like the Super Continental coming through Saskatchewan, and is almost as powerful and as hard to knock down." - Viva Mahovlich! - Peter Gzowski
"Bobby Hull may score more goals, but no one scores better goals than Frank" - Dave Keon
"That year he was as good a left winger as ever played the game. And his aggressive play set the tone for the whole team." - Punch Imlach on Mahovlich's 60-61 season
