The St. Catharines Teepees:
Born in 1947, and named after Thompson Products Ltd., the St. Catharines Teepees lasted fifteen years in the OHA. During those fifteen years the Teepees developed into an OHA powerhouse. St. Catharines finished in first place 5 years in a 6 year span, and won the league championship twice. Over that same period, the Teepees produced 5 league leading scorers and 3 MVPs. The Teepees won the Memorial Cup in 1954 and 1960.
Notable Alumni: Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Phil Esposito, Pierre Pilote...

The Coach:
Al Arbour
"A place among the greatest head coaches in NHL history will always be held by Alger Joseph "Radar" Arbour. His career totals of 1,606 games behind the bench and 781 victories trail only the legendary Scotty Bowman in the record ledger. Arbour's guidance contributed significantly to the New York Islanders' rapid ascent to competitive status in the 1970s and the club's subsequent run of four consecutive Stanley Cup wins from 1980 to 1983, as well as a record 19 consecutive playoff series wins from 1980 to 1984." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 1606 games, 781 wins, 577 losses
Playoffs: 209 games, 123 wins, 86 losses


The Players:
#1 Terry Sawchuk (G)
"Record books show that Terry Sawchuk was one of the greatest goaltenders ever to play in the NHL. He played in 21 seasons with five different teams. His 103 career shutouts set a record that might never be broken" (Legends of Hockey Network)
Regular Season: 971 games, 447 wins, 103 shutouts
Playoffs: 106 games, 54 wins, 12 shutouts

#7 Paul Coffey (D)
"Smooth-skating Paul Coffey embodied everything an offensive defenseman could be -- lightning fast, a skilled playmaker, a booming shot and savvy, yet still able to defend his team's zone employing blinding speed." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 1409 games, 396 goals, 1135 assists, 1531 points
Playoffs: 194 games, 59 goals, 137 assists, 196 points

#3 Lionel "Big Train" Conacher (D)
"Aptly named "the Big Train," the 6', 195-pound Conacher was a proficient NHL skater. He normally played left defense and was best known for his imposing physical presence, leadership skills and rock-solid play in his own zone." (Legends of Hockey)
"Conacher was at his hard-hitting best and ex NHLer Johnny "Peanuts" O'Flaherty said "Conacher blocked more shots than Charlie Gardiner and was the definite difference in the finals". Conacher also led many rushes out of his own end and scored two goals on these rushes." (Hockey Hall Of Fame)
Regular Season: 498 games, 80 goals, 185 points
Playoffs: 35 games, 2 goals, 4 points

#14 Dave Keon (C)
"Dave Keon could be a dazzling offensive player, utilizing bursts of speed and deft moves around the net. He also had what is widely considered to be one of the best backhands in the game, a deceptive, often powerful shot that flummoxed opposing goaltenders. He used his agility to avoid opponents' hits and remained injury-free for much of his career. He also used his speed and maneuverability as a pesky penalty killer, covering a large portion of the ice and turning shorthanded situations into scoring chances for his own team." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 1296 games, 396 goals, 986 points
Playoffs: 92 games, 32 goals, 68 points

#27 Darryl Sittler (C)
"The Leafs beat up the Bruins 11-4, but Sittler was the big story. He had two assists in the first period, three goals and two assists in the second and another hat trick in the third. The total of six goals and four assists set a league record for points in one game that had previously been held by Maurice "Rocket" Richard with eight. The big night helped Sittler become the first Leaf to reach the 100 mark in scoring in a season, collecting 41 goals and 59 assists. But he wasn't finished. During the playoffs in April against the Philadelphia Flyers, Sittler scored five goals in one game, tying the playoff record." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 1096 games, 484 goals, 1121 points
Playoffs: 76 games, 29 goals, 74 points

#11 David "Sweeney" Schriner (LW)
"He made his NHL debut with the New York Americans in the 1934-35 season and was voted the league's rookie of the year. In just his second season in the league he captured his first of two successive league scoring titles. Schriner was named to the NHL's First All-Star Team in 1936 and 1941, and was a Second Team selection in 1937." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 484 games, 201 goals, 405 points
Playoffs: 59 games, 18 goals, 29 points

#19 Markus Naslund (LW/RW)
"Coming off a season ending injury in 2000-01, Naslund rebounded with a career high 90 points and represented his homeland at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City...Naslund broke the 100-point barrier for the first time, finishing the season with 104 points, only two behind his World Junior linemate Peter Forsberg, and was second in goal scoring with 48. Naslund was voted as league MVP (Pearson Trophy) by his peers, and finished second to Forsberg in Hart balloting." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 1035 games, 371 goals, 823 points
Playoffs: 45 games, 13 goals, 33 points

#4 Kevin Lowe (D)
"His play was a quiet force and a defensive genius on a dynasty that was known for outscoring the opposition...Lowe had outstanding hockey sense and vision which game him a superior advantage by understanding the defensive breakdown of the oncoming attack...A rugged but intelligent physical player, Lowe played with fire and determination, hating to lose. While he never got the recognition of that his Oiler or Ranger teammates did, he was without doubt an integral part of 6 Stanley Cup championships" (Legends of Hockey Network)
Regular Season: 1254 games, 84 goals, 431 points
Playoffs: 214 games, 10 goals, 58 points

#10 Bill Mosienko (RW):
"Mosienko was known for his skating ability and was ranked as the fastest skater in the NHL. He earned that title by beating the fastest skaters from the other 5 teams in 1950 during a skating contest at the Montreal Forum. He was also ranked as the fastest skater by a poll of sportscaster in all 6 NHL cities."
Regular Season: 710 games, 258 goals, 540 points
Playoffs: 22 games, 10 goals, 14 points

#20 Bob Pulford (LW):
"Pulford was promoted to the Leafs for the 1956-57 season and proved to be a hard- working, two-way player who excelled at checking the game's top scorers. 'Pulford is one of my private headaches,' said Gordie Howe, 'because he has to be classed as one of hockey's greatest forecheckers. There's a deep knowledge of the game in his forechecking, hook, poke check, strength of arms, quickness, the whole bundle of wax.'" (Legends of Hockey)
"Bob was considered one of the best fore-checkers in the NHL with a knack of scoring important goals. He thrived under pressure and was especially valuable during the playoffs when the checking got tougher." (Legends of Hockey Network)
Regular Season: 1079 games, 281 goals, 643 points
Playoff: 89 games, 25 goals, 51 points

#5 Lennart "Lill-Strimma" Svedberg (D):
"Most experts regard Svedberg to be the most talented Swedish defenseman ever...He was an exceptionally creative defenseman who was a joy to watch...His unpredictable moves and effortless skating made him extremely hard to stop. He was a Paul Coffey type of player in regards of skating and offensive play...Those who saw him play will never forget his high speed rushes over the ice that captured fans everywhere...He was a "Michelangelo" on ice." (1972SummitSeries.com)
Career Statistics: 211 games, 92 goals, 185 points
Playoffs: 6 games, 2 goals, 6 points

#33 Kris Draper (C):
"Upon his arrival with the Wings, Draper quickly became recognized as one of the fastest skaters in the league and one of its premier penalty killers. While in Detroit, Draper teamed up with xxxx xxxx and xxxx xxxx to form the "Grind Line", one of the league's premier checking lines and was instrumental in leading the Wings to back-to-back Stanley Cup titles in 1997 and 1998...Aside from his World Junior appearances, Draper is a four-time member of Canada's World Championship Team (2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005), Men's Winter Olympic Team (2006) and winning team at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 950 games, 141 goals, 314 points
Playoffs: 176 games, 22 goals, 43 points

#17 Mike Foligno (RW):
"Mike Foligno was a tireless worker and team leader of the Buffalo Sabres for most of the 1980s. An extremely physical forward, excelled along the boards and in the corners, where he'd smash any opponent in site. But he was a valuable player in that he could make plays with the loose pucks his exuberance created. He had good anticipation who saw the ice fairly well. He was more of a power forward than an artist of the ice, so he relied more on his heavy shot than playmaking abilities. His wrist shot was particularly deadly." (Greatest Hockey Legends)
"Mike Foligno was a hard-nosed right-winger with a heavy shot and an above average scoring touch...was considered a positive influence on team chemistry wherever he played...added a strong defensive game to his offensive prowess under coach Scotty Bowman." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 1018 games, 355 goals, 727 points
Playoffs: 57 games, 15 goals, 32 points

#14 Rene Robert (RW):
"He was the perfect complimentary right winger for Perreault and Martin. The two slick scoring sensations needed Robert's aggressive style. Robert would hustle into the corners and more often than not come out with the puck. He was skilled enough to be able to do something with that puck too, often setting up his two marksmen linemates. His constant hustle and try not only made Perreault and Martin better players, but also made the Sabres into a true contender...Quit was the one thing Robert would never do...As long as Robert laced up the skates, no one on the ice could out hustle him. Hard work and a little luck were Robert's trademarks." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 744 games, 284 goals, 702 points
Playoffs: 50 games, 22 goals, 41 points

Gordon 'Doc' Roberts (LW):
"He joined the Montreal Wanderers in 1911 and enrolled in McGill University to study medicine. A strong and tireless player with a terrific shot, Roberts was one of the few early players who were able to curve his shots. He starred for the Wanderers for six seasons in the NHA and had two six-goal games and a five-goal game to his credit before leaving for the West Coast upon his graduation from McGill in 1916." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 166 games, 203 goals

Harry "Mum" Mummery (D):
"Big Harry Mummery was a large man in his era. In size, he compared to the xxxx boys--xxxx, xxxx and xxxx. What set "Mum" apart was that he could rush off the defensive line despite that large frame. A goaltender facing a fast charging 220 pound colossus could be excused if he flinched and allowed a goal." (Legends of Hockey)
"Hall and Mummery's crushing style of defense allowed the team's offense to shine....For the next three seasons, Hall and Mummery continued to be the most feared defensive pairing in the league, although as Bulldogs they never again won the Stanley Cup, losing the chalice to the Toronto Blueshirts the following season." (Kenora Thistles)
Regular Season: 106 games, 33 goals, 52 points
Playoffs: 2 games, 1 goals, 1 points

Bert Corbeau (D):
"Corbeau was an intimidating presence in every sense of the word; he was big, strong, tough and physically punishing. According to Ultimate Hockey there was no better body-checker during the 1920’s. Despite his lust for physical play he was actually a very durable player. In every one of his seasons as an NHL player (10) he had over a 90% attendance record, which isn’t too far off of the all-time record for defensemen. Corbeau was also an excelent offensive player. Between 1917 and 1929, he finished top 6 in points by defensemen six times. Only star defensemen King Clancy and Buck Boucher had more top 6 finishes during that time period." (EvilSpeaker)

Playoffs:

Riley Hern (G):
"He moved on to play the next two seasons with Houghton-Portage Lakes of the International Hockey League, leading them to the league title in both years as well as earning a First Team All-Star selection in 1905 and a Second Team All-Star selection the following season. Hern began the 1906-07 season with the Montreal Wanderers and would lead the Redbands to the Stanley Cup in four of the next five seasons before his retirement in 1911." (Legends of Hockey)

Playoffs

Frank Fredrickson (C):
"A dynamic offensive center, Frank Fredrickson followed up a brilliant amateur career with an impressive tenure as a professional. Along the way, the Winnipeg native won an Olympic gold medal and a Stanley Cup and played his way into the Hockey Hall of Fame...The talented youngster debuted in senior hockey in 1913-14 with the Winnipeg Falcons and quickly carved out a reputation as one of the top amateur players in Canada...And this status earned them the honour of representing their country when ice hockey was admitted as a demonstration event at the 1920 Antwerp Summer Olympics. The Canadians won gold after manhandling Czechoslovakia and Sweden and turning back the United States 2-0. During the 12-1 rout of the Swedes, Fredrickson was virtually unstoppable, registering seven goals." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season: 161 games, 39 goals, 73 points
Playoffs: 10 games, 2 goals, 5 points

Dan Bain (C):
"He remained in the Manitoba capital for eight seasons and played a rather large role on one of hockey's first great teams. During this time, the muscular Bain provided scoring, playmaking and a physical presence to two Stanley Cup championship squads. Along with his great skills on ice, he was blessed with natural leadership qualities." (Legends of Hockey)
Regular Season:
Playoffs:

Paul MacLean (RW):
"he owned the corners and the boards, drawing defensemen wide, opening up room for his team's centre, burning defenses when they didn't commit physically... 324 goals, 673 points in a mere 719 NHL games (career average of 37 goals a season over 9 seasons!! almost a point per game average!), three 40+ goal seasons, eight 30+ goal seasons, six 100+ PIM seasons (968 PIM total), all-star game (1985), a strong power forward, 4th in Winnipeg Jets all-time career scoring" (VanIslander)
Regular Season: 719 games, 324 goals, 673 points
Playoffs: 53 games, 21 goals, 35 points

BIOGRAPHIES:

Head coach Tommy Gorman:
The best coach available at that point in the draft, and arguably one of the top 10 coaches of all-time. Still the only coach to win the Stanley Cup in two straight years with different organizations - 1934 with the Chicago Blackhawks and 1935 with the Montreal Maroons. A strong motivator and an excellent judge of talent. A strong strategist who got the most out of his players. Also an excellent GM who won Cups as a manager with Ottawa and the Montreal Canadiens. Bonus points for a man who was a skilled reporter and sports editor, and had a great fondness for horse racing.

#30 G Gerry "Cheesy" Cheevers:
The goalie we wanted for a long, long time. The best money goalie left on the board. A two-time Stanley Cup champion (1970 and 1972). Good attitude and cheery demeanour. Was the No. 3 goalie for Canada at the 1976 Canada Cup. Legendary character who put mock stitches on his mask. Was one of the first roaming goalies, and one of the first to play the puck. That trait will help with our transition game. But it all comes down to his ability to deliver in the clutch. A fantastic big-game goalie. Fantastic late in games when his team needed big saves. Didn't care about GAA or save percentage; just wins. With so many one-goal games on the horizon, a goalie like Cheevers who makes the big saves will be pivotal.

#31 G Hugh "Old Eagle Eyes" Lehman:
One of the legends from the game's early days, and one of the most celebrated stars from the great west coast leagues in the 1910s and 1920s. Five time GAA leader and 10-time all-star. Backstopped the Vancouver Millionaires to the Stanley Cup in 1915, the last Cup for a Vancouver team. Led the NHL in minutes in his lone full NHL season at age 40-something. A precursor to the roaming, puck-moving goaltenders, and he was even known to rush the puck. A raleh favourite who has been part of five straight raleh teams, he'll be counted on to play 30-35 games per year for the Flyers.

#19 D Larry Robinson:
At 6'4", 220 pounds, he's one of the biggest defencemen in the draft, and certainly one of the best among the top pairing defencemen. Yet he's nimble and moved with great mobility. More than 35 years after he was drafted, he remains the standard for the big, mobile defenceman. Highly skilled and very creative, his rushes were hard to stop. Can rush the puck, dish it off and quarterback the power play. Strong defensively and a punishing hitter when he chooses to play a physical game. Won six Cups and a Conn Smythe. Consistently raised his game in the playoffs. Never missed the post-season in a 20-year career.

#3 D Clarence "Hap" Day:
A multi-purpose, high character blue-liner to partner with Robinson. Brings everything you want in a No. 2 defenceman: work ethic, skating and stick-handling ability, hockey sense, a sound defensive game and physical play. Very good at moving the puck, and can work the point on the power play. At 5'11", size shouldn't be a concern. Positive outlook earned him the nickname "Hap" - short for "Happy." An outstanding leader who captained the Toronto Maple Leafs for a decade, he will be a welcomed addition to our team on the ice and in the locker room.

#9 D/LW Doug "Diesel" Mohns:
Simply put, he can do it all. Probably the biggest steal we'll make in the draft. A fast, powerful skater. A very good skill level. A tremendous work ethic. A physical presence. A good two-way player. And he thrived at both left wing and defence. Was chosen to play in seven all-star games. The second defenceman in NHL history to reach the 20-goal mark. A strong addition to Chicago's Scooter Line alongside Stan Mikita. Has the mobility and the smarts to keep up with the offensive aces in our division. Good enough to be a No. 2 LW or a top-pairing defenceman, but we couldn't think of a better guy to anchor our second defensive pairing. Well worth the trade.

#5 D Bill Barilko:
A swashbuckling No. 4 defenceman. He played an aggressive, hard-nosed brand of hockey, blocking shots and playing tough. A very good skater whose only hinderance offensively was that defencemen were not encouraged to join the rush. A creative player who can effectively move the puck. His speed, toughness and smarts will come in handy against players like Dionne, Bure and the Bentley's. A back-end rock for the great Leafs teams of the late 40s and early 50s, he won four Cups in his five-year career, and scored the Cup winner in 1951.

#10 D Ted Harris:
A rough-and-tumble defensive defenceman who won five Stanley Cup championships - four with the Montreal Canadiens in the 1960s, and one with the Philadelphia Flyers in his final season of 1975. Named a second-team all-star in 1969. Mean, tough, aggressive and a rock in his own zone. Excellent defensive awareness. He will be counted on to play against the opposition's top players, kill penalties, block shots, and, when necessary, fight.

#7 D Brad Maxwell:
One of the top multi-purpose defencemen remaining. Big, strong and tough. A good skater who can move the puck. An effective power play quarterback with a bullet shot. Very effective in his own zone. Loves to hit. Capable of playing against the opposition's top line. And he's a very potent playoff producer. 61 points in 79 career post-season games demonstrates an ability to get 'er done in the post-season, even though he didn't win a Cup. A bit of a "what if" proposition due to injuries, but he was very effective when healthy.

#4 D Joe Watson:
An ideal No. 7 defenceman thanks to his character and demeanour. Won't be a distraction in the locker room with a reduced role. Former Estevan Bruin has a terrific work ethic. Smart, steady, defensive defenceman who was very effective in his own zone. Effective shot blocker and leader. Won two Stanley Cups with the Philadelphia Flyers Broad Street Bullies teams in the 1970s, but he played a good clean game. Offensive contributions will be minimal, but he did make a good first pass.

#17 D/C Russell "Dubie" Bowie:
Likely the best player available at that point in the draft. An outstanding stick-handler and a creative offensive player who can "turn on a dime." Charter member of the Hockey Hall of Fame averaged nearly three goals per game in his 80-game career as an amateur. Won the Stanley Cup with the Montreal Victorias in 1898. Experience at both centre and defence, and a solid all-round game, makes him a perfect depth player in case injuries hit. He will also keep his teammates entertained off the ice with his piano-playing ability.

#9 LW Johnny Bucyk:
A solid, consistently productive player who was the top scoring LW in league history for nearly 30 years. Put up solid numbers in the Original 6 era, with 50 points in 7 seasons and 60 points three times. Topped out with over 100 points once, and several 80 point seasons after expansion. Averaged about a point-per-game in the playoffs during his peak. Played a clean, but physical game, and had a penchant for big hits. Gives our top line well-balanced offensive abilities and a good physical presence.

#27 LW Shayne Corson:
One of the few power forwards left on the board. A solid addition to our second line. Not the most talented forward available, but a tough, grinding winger who controls the corners, the boards and the front of the net. Also has a good scoring touch and a two-way presence. Captained two different teams. He will be counted on to open up room for Larmer and Lemaire. He never won a Cup, but he did average nearly a point-per-game in the playoffs in his peak from 1990 to 1998. Won a Canada Cup in 1991, and a World Championship in 1994, ending a 33-year drought for Canada at the tournament.

#35 LW Mike McPhee:
A grinding winger who plays physical, takes care of his own zone very effectively, and controls the corners and the boards. Will be counted on to bring more of a physical dimension to our two-way line, to compliment the speed and smarts of Rousseau and Merrick. Combined with Guy Carbonneau to comprise one of the best defensive lines in the NHL in the late 80s and early 90s. Won the Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens in 1986. A consistent 40-50 point player who had some productive playoffs for a defensive player.

#12 LW Brenden Morrow:
The Carlyle Kid was one of the few power forwards left on the board. An ideal fourth line winger due to his defensive ability and physical game. Contributions don't end there - he's also an effective offensive player who controls the boards and the front of the net. One of the best leaders in the game today. Not afraid to stick up for his teammates. Won the World Championship and the World Cup in 2004. Currently playing the best hockey of his life for Dallas in the playoffs. Born in Carlyle, Saskatchewan and a graduate of the Estevan Bantam AA Bruin program.

#15 C Milt Schmidt:
One of the finest all-round players in the draft. One of the few players out there who can play on the top scoring unit, the top power play unit, the top penalty killing unit, and our line when leading by a goal, or trailing by a goal. Brings game-breaking offensive ability, top notch defensive ability, and a physical edge that makes him very tough to play against. His leadership, character and tenure with the Flyers makes him a gimmie to be our captain. Makes those around him better. His presence means that line match-ups is less of a factor.

#25 C Jacques Lemaire:
A prototypical No. 2 centre in the all-time draft due to his all-round game. You want skill? He's got it. You wanting skating ability? He's got it. Work ethic, hockey sense, character, defensive awareness, consistency - this HHOF centre has it all. Strong playmaker. Takes care of his own end. Gives us another line that can be used in all situations. Line match-ups won't be an issue for a Lemaire-centred line. Was a valuable contributor to the Habs of the late 60s, and throughout the 70s, winning eight Cups and averaging almost a point-per-game in his career in the post-season.

C #11 Wayne Merrick:
A steady two-way centre who won four Stanley Cups as a member of the New York Islanders dynasty. Swift skater was a good playmaker, good shooter, strong defensive player and a tireless worker. Topped 60 points twice, and 50 points two more times, in the 1970s with St. Louis and California/Cleveland. Played a steady role on the Islanders. Scored at a point-per-game clip in 1981, and scored the Cup-winning goal, in overtime, no less. Will be a welcome addition to the two-way line with Rousseau.

C #14 Glen Skov:
One of the best fourth line centres available in the draft. Big, tough, physical, aggressive and defensively reliable. Good enough defensively to play on our two-way line, and he can be used against the opposition's top line. Also has some offensive ability; several seasons over 25 point was impressive for a checking centre in the Original 6 era. A raleh favourite, he was on raleh's hit list for four drafts until we finally got him in this draft. Remarkably durable, he missed only four games from 1951-52 to 1959-60. A three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Detroit Red Wings in the 50s.

#8 RW Cam Neely:
The prototype for the power forward rounds out our Big...Bad...Bruins Line. Big, strong, rugged, double-tough, and a highly-skilled goal scorer. Very apt at skating through opponents as opposed to skating around them. Controls the front of the net at even strength and on the power play. A dominant force in the corners. Big-game mentality - he's fourth all-time in playoff goals per game, and reached the Stanley Cup final twice. The prototypical GBC/raleh player with his combination of goal-scoring ability and physical play. Gives this line a natural goal scorer and one more physical presence.

#18 RW Steve Larmer:
A perfect No. 2 right winger. Excellent offensive player - five-time 40-goal scorer, hard shot that he gets off in a hurry. Point-per-game in regular season, and close to a point-per-game in the playoffs. Tireless worker. Strong defensively - he was a Selke finalist in 1991. A key addition for the Rangers in 1994, and an all-star at the 1991 Canada Cup. Works hard in the corners. Plays hard, but plays clean. Low PIM totals, but nobody would accuse him of being soft. Reliability might be his strongest suit - he was widely viewed as one of the game's most consistent players in the 80s, and he played hard for 884 consecutive games from 82 to 93.

#20 RW Bobby Rousseau:
An excellent right winger for our two-way line. He brings everything we'd want from a player on our two-way line: speed, smarts, hockey sense and an excellent overall game. Was used as a very effective penalty killer at his peak. But he also had a very good skill level. Second team all-star right winger in 1966. Tied for the league lead in assists in 1966, and was second in the league in scoring. Topped 60 points four straight years, and 50 points eight times. Four-time Cup champion who had several productive playoffs.

#13 RW Blair Russell:
An outstanding two-way winger for the fourth line. High skill level and a tremendous work ethic. Played an offensive role on a line with Bowie with the Montreal Victorias at the turn of the 20th century. He'll be asked to use his smarts and defensive ability as a member of our fourth line, and also to kill penalties and chip in the occasional goal. He's good enough to play a second line scorer or third line two-way role. Inducted into the HHOF in 1965. Much like Bowie, he was a dedicated amateur who balked at turning pro. That should save us a few bucks.

COACH

Scotty Bowman

Stanley Cup Champion (1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1991, 1992, 1997, 1998, 2002)

The high standards to which William Scott Bowman held himself and his players contributed to a landmark coaching career. A master of motivation and mind games, he knew how to get the most out of every player he handled. During his 27 years as a coach, he never experienced a losing record in any full season in which he was behind the bench ... He is the winningest coach in NHL history with 1,244 victories and an astounding .654 winning percentage. His nine Stanley Cup bench wins ranks first all-time.

http://www.canadaswalkoffame.com/inductees/03_scotty_bowman.xml.htm

Scotty Bowman is the most successful coach the National Hockey League (NHL) has ever seen, and Sports Illustrated magazine dubbed him "the greatest coach in professional sport."

Nicknamed the 'Rain Man' by the team in Pittsburgh, Bowman's memory for statistics, grasp of players' abilities, knowledge of the game, and command of changing strategy gave him the advantage over lesser adversaries. His no-nonsense approach, passion for winning and demand for excellence didn't always make him the most popular coach with players or owners. But Bowman would earn their respect and who can argue with his success?

PLAYERS

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080...199702&type=Player&page=bio&list=ByName#photo

Bryan Trottier was a modern-day player with old-fashioned attributes. At a time when specialists were beginning to take over from the all-round player, Trottier was a throwback. He was a defensively sound centerman with the vision and instincts of a pure scorer. Over an 18-year National Hockey League career, he led his teams to the Stanley Cup six times, including four consecutive titles with the New York Islanders in the early 1980s. And his achievements went beyond team success. He was the winner of the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie, the Art Ross Trophy as top scorer and the Hart Trophy as the most valuable player. Trottier, at his retirement, was the league's sixth-highest all-time scorer.

#1 - G Bill Durnan

First All-Star Team Goalie (1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1950)
Vezina Trophy (1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1950)
Stanley Cup Champion (1944, 1946)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080...?mem=p196402&type=Player&page=bio&list=#photo

He won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top netminder an amazing six times. In 1936, the ambidextrous Durnan played hockey in the northern Ontario league with the Kirkland Lake Blue Devils...backstopping the team to the Allan Cup in 1940...That first season the Canadiens...He led the league in games played, wins and goals-against average in the regular season and in the playoffs, when he allowed only 1.53 goals per game as the Canadiens skated to the title...Montreal won the Stanley Cup again in 1946...Durnan returned to his winning ways in 1948-49, setting a modern league record with a shutout streak that lasted over 309 minutes and four games...Durnan was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1964.

#2 - D Jacques Laperriere

Calder Memorial Trophy (1964)
First All-Star Team Defense (1965, 1966)
James Norris Memorial Trophy (1966)
Second All-Star Team Defense (1964, 1970)
Stanley Cup Champion (1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1973)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080...?mem=p198703&type=Player&page=bio&list=#photo

A tall and mobile defenseman, Jacques Laperriere was a key component of the Montreal Canadiens' success during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Standing 6'2" and possessing an enormous reach, the lanky defender was a consistent impediment to opposing forwards. His poise and ability to move the puck forward after breaking up the play was crucial to the Habs' outstanding transition game. Many opposing skaters became annoyed with Laperriere's persistence, but he was rarely coaxed into taking a bad penalty and was never intimidated.

#4 - LW Aurele Joliat

First All-Star Team Left Wing (1931)
Hart Memorial Trophy (1934)
Second All-Star Team Left Wing (1932, 1934, 1935)
Stanley Cup Champion (1924, 1930, 1931)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080...194702&type=Player&page=bio&list=ByName#photo

Aurele Joliat was a prolific scorer and relentless backchecker during 16 rewarding seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. He never allowed his comparatively small frame to impede his progress in the NHL. Joliat often teamed with his good friend Howie Morenz to form one of the most potent offensive duos in league history. His blazing forays down the port side made him one of hockey's most exciting left wingers of all time, and his combination of speed and small size made him one of the trickiest skaters to bodycheck.

#3 - D Art Ross

Stanley Cup Champion (1907, 1908)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080...dsMember.jsp?mem=p194510&page=bio&list=#photo

Ross recorded 85 goals in 167 regular-season games and provided stability and savvy in the defensive zone. He won the Stanley Cup twice as a player... He rapidly earned the distinction of being one of the top rushing defensemen in the game ... Ross was a key reason the Red Bands finished at the top of the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association standings and then beat back the Stanley Cup challenges ... He followed with two years in Ottawa, where he introduced the "kitty bar the door" defensive alignment that baffled teams preferring a freewheeling offensive game ... In 1945 Ross was part of the first group of players elected to the newly founded Hockey Hall of Fame.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Ross

He was a fearless and rugged defenceman and never shied away from a fight. One of his most legendary was with Minnie McGiffen of the Toronto Blueshirts in which both players were arrested for assault and referee Cooper Smeaton almost got arrested.

#8 - C Igor Larionov

WJC-A All-Star Team (1980)
USSR First All-Star Team (1983, 1986, 1987, 1988)
WEC-A All-Star Team (1983, 1986)
USSR Player of the Year (1988)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1998)
Stanley Cup Champion (1997, 1998, 2002)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=10892

Igor Larionov was already heralded as one of the top hockey players in the world when he finally made his NHL debut in October of 1989 at the age of 29. Prior to that debut, Larionov had earned this reputation during a dominant stretch back home in Russia where he centered the top-line in the country for several years ... He was a big part of the Russians 1981 Canada Cup victory as well as being a huge contributor to Olympic gold medals for Russia in both 1984 and 1988 as well as several World Championship titles ... (In San Jose) Larionov was the key to the Cinderella post-season march with 18 points in 14 games ... (In Detroit) The veterans poise and leadership in the locker room was immeasurable but his 71 points in 69 games was ... The skilled pivot once again piled up assists for the team and played a solid two way game.

#22 - D Harry Cameron

Stanley Cup Champion (1914, 1918, 1922)
139 points in 128 NHL games
The first player in NHL history to achieve a "Gordie Howe hat trick"

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080...er.jsp?mem=p196202&page=bio&list=ByName#photo

He was considered the first man to be able to curve his shot--with a straight stick, no less!--and long before Bobby Orr flew end to end with the puck Harry Cameron was the finest rushing defenceman and goal-scorer of hockey's early pro years ... In Toronto he was teamed with [CENSORED], the equally light, reliant and talented blueliner. Together they won the Stanley Cup in 1914, and Cameron stayed on to win again with the Toronto Arenas in 1918, the first time an NHL team had won ... before returning to Toronto, the franchise by now called the St. Pats, and sure enough he helped the team win another Cup, in 1922 ... He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.

#14 - RW Ken Hodge

NHL First All-Star Team (1971, 1974)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1971, 1973, 1974)
Stanley Cup Champion (1970, 1972)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=12959

Because most of the team was small and Hodge was 6'2' and 210 pounds, he was expected to be the team's policeman for the next two years. "It was my job and I did it, but it cost me offensively," ... Hodge played on the Bruins' number one line with Esposito and Wayne Cashman and his confidence exploded. He started to use his strength to hold onto the puck and create scoring chances instead of fighting, and he became one of the best scorers in the league because of his excellent shot ... Hodge twice scored 100 points in a season, and in 1973-74 he scored 50 goals for the first and only time in his career.

http://www.jwen.com/hock/bruins/khodge.html

A big, strapping fellow, Hodge moves efficiently on the ice and he's a rough man to meet in the corners

#29 - C Joel Otto

Stanley Cup Champion (1989)
Reached Stanley Cup Finals (1986, 1997)
World Cup Champion (1996)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=11245

Joel Otto was one of the NHL's best two-way centres during a career that spanned 14 seasons. The 6'4" behemoth was blessed with quick hands as well as strength, which made him a handful on faceoffs, along the boards, and in the slot. Otto was utilized in offensive and checking roles and was a strong leader wherever he played ... Otto carved a significant place for himself on the Calgary roster by scoring 25 goals in 1985-86, including nine on the power play. The powerful centre scored 15 points in 22 post-season matches as the Flames reached the Stanley Cup final for the first time in franchise history. Other highlights for Otto included playing for Team USA at the 1987 Canada Cup and scoring 19 points for Calgary when they won the Stanley Cup in 1989.

#21 - C Rick MacLeish

Stanley Cup Champion (1974, 1975)
Top scorer in the playoffs (1974)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1976, 1977, 1980)
6th ranked C in 1973 All-Star voting
4th ranked C in 1977 All-Star voting

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=13476

Blessed with a quick wrist shot and natural offensive instincts, he topped the 30-goal mark seven times in 14 big league seasons ... The next season he broke through with 50 goals while playing the power play ... Over the next two season he continued to produce on offense but was asked to take on penalty killing and defensive responsibility. MacLeish's excellence was a key component on the Flyers' consecutive Stanley Cup wins in 1974 and 1975. During the first title run he led all playoff goal scorers with 13 goals and 22 points ... During the late 70s, MacLeish was a top two-way player for Philly.

#17 - LW Dean Prentice

NHL Second All-Star Team (1960)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1957, 1961, 1963, 1970)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=14036

Prentice eventually settled onto a line with Andy Bathgate and [CENSORED]. The trio became the Rangers' most successful unit. Prentice became the two-way standout who excelled at backchecking, killing penalties, working the corners and jumping onto the powerplay ... Prentice has been characterized as the most underrated forward of his era ... He lasted with the Pens until 1971 at which time he was sold to the Minnesota North Stars where he continued to score even at the age of 40. By 1974, however, at age 41, Prentice finally closed out his 22-year NHL career.

#7 - LW Keith Tkachuk

NHL Second All-Star Team (1995, 1998)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1997, 1998, 1999, 2004)
World Cup Champion (1996)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=11640

In 1995 Tkachuk was the captain of the Winnipeg Jets, the Coyotes' precursor before the team moved to Arizona ... Tkachuk, one of many U.S. players in the NHL from the Boston area, is best known around league arenas as a power forward and it's no surprise that his hero as a kid was the Bruins' Cam Neely ... By his third NHL season, Tkachuk was a 50-goal scorer and in 1996-97 became the first american-born player to lead the NHL in goals with 52. The left wing (and sometimes center) was also developing into one of the premier power-forwards in the game ... A four-time member of the U.S Olympic Team (1992, 1998, 2002, 2006) and member of the U.S. 1996 World Cup Team ... Tkachuk had managed to score at least 20 goals in his first 12 full seasons in the NHL.

#5 - D Leo Reise Jr.

Stanley Cup Champion (1950, 1952)
NHL Second All-Star Team (1950, 1951)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1950, 1951, 1952, 1953)
USHL First All-Star Team (1946)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=14108

With the Wings, Reise played his best hockey, pumping home two overtime goals during a bitterly fought semi-finals series against the Leafs in 1950 ... During those years, Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay and Red Kelly enjoyed the headlines while Reise worked in the background, performing a great deal of the spadework that kept the Wings at the top of the standings.

http://redwings.nhl.com/team/app?service=page&page=NHLPage&bcid=his_wol_wol-leoreise

An all-star defenseman who performed capably in the shadows of such Hall of Famers as (Black) Jack Stewart, Red Kelly, Bill Quackenbush and Marcel Pronovost, Leo Reise played a quietly effective game and owned a reputation for scoring clutch goals, especially during the Stanley Cup playoffs ... Reise netted only four goals in 70 regular-season games, but the offensive outburst wasn't surprising. During his career, he averaged a goal every 18 games during regular-season play, but tallied once every six games in Stanley Cup competition ... A stay-at-home defenseman known for his fierce bodychecks ... "He was very businesslike and played his position very well," teammate Marty Pavelich said of the six-foot, 205-pound Reise.

#26 - RW Martin St. Louis

NHL First All-Star Team (2004)
Art Ross Trophy (2004)
Lester B. Pearson Award (2004)
Hart Memorial Trophy (2004)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=19278

A highly skilled and energetic player St. Louis returned in 2002-03, quickly establishing himself as one of the biggest surprises of the NHL season scoring a career high 33 goals and 70 points while making his All-Star Game debut and leading the Lightning to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in team history ... Coming off a career year in 2002-03, St. Louis continued his strong play in 2003-04. The former UVM Catamount bettered his previous year totals, leading not only his team but the NHL in scoring with 94 points and by doing so captured his first Art Ross and becoming the first collegiate player to lead the league in scoring. St. Louis finished tied for second in the Maurice Richard goal scoring race with 38 goals and finished tied for first in assists with 56 ... St. Louis continued his strong play in the post season, finishing second in playoff scoring with 24 points (9-15-24) while helping the Tampa Bay Lightning capture their first Stanley Cup title, with a hard fought seven game series win over the Calgary Flames. Coming off a Stanley Cup win, St. Louis ended his NHL season by winning the Lester B. Pearson award, as the league's top player, as voted by his peers, as well as the Hart Trophy as the league's Most Valuable Player ... Following his unforgettable season with the Lightning, St. Louis helped Team Canada capture the World Cup of Hockey in the summer of 2004.

#12 - D Dollard St. Laurent

Stanley Cup CHampion (1956, 1957, 1958, 1961)

QMHL Second All-Star Team (1951)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=14413

He started out with the Jr. Canadiens of the QJHL where he skated for two seasons from 1947 to 1949. There he demonstrated an offensive touch and an ability to play a tough game of defense at the other end of the ice ... One of the others included St. Laurent who settled onto the Habs' blueline corps as a stay-at-home regular. Over the six seasons that followed, he doled out tough bodychecks and adhered to defensive zone fundamentals in textbook fashion. His efforts contributed to three-straight Stanley Cup victories between 1956 and 1958 ... After the third championship, St. Laurent was sold to the Chicago Blackhawks ... In 1960-61, the troops pulled together and finally ended the championship drought by ousting the Red Wings in the finals ... St. Laurent continued to clear creases for the Hawks until the end of the 1961-62 campaign ... defenseman Doug Harvey, lobbied to have him transferred to the Rangers, but a deal couldn't be worked out. In the meantime, St. Laurent took a hard fall to the ice in Quebec, breaking his leg and ending his aspirations to make it back to the top.

#6 - D Joe Simpson

Three time WCHL First Team All-Star
One time WCHL Second Team All-Star
57 goals, 42 assists in 113 WCHL games
8th all-time scorer in WCHL history as a defenceman

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080...=Player&page=bio&list=ByCountry&co=CAMB#photo

Before he was sent overseas he captained the 1916 Allan Cup champions 61st Battalion team of Winnipeg ... Simpson was twice wounded in the war and was awarded the Military Medal for valour prior to returning home in February of 1919, discharged as a lieutenant ... He made amends for a poor showing in his rookie year by winning a Western Hockey League First Team All-Star berth in 1921-22. He was named to the First Team on three occasions and to the Second Team once. At the time, "Newsy" Lalonde called Simpson the greatest living hockey player ... "Bullet" Joe Simpson was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.

Simpson was a great skater, a defenceman whose end-to-end rushes wowed fans wherever he went. The nickname "Bullet Joe" was well deserved and his fame well understood by everyone who watched him play the game at another level than most.

Stan Fischler:

Simpsons was a lightweight at 155 pounds, but he tore into the foe with the confidence of a 200-pounder.

#24 - RW Jim Peplinski

Stanley Cup Champion (1989)
424 points in 711 NHL games
1467 penalty minutes over that same time
14 points and 107 PIMs during Calgary's '86 run to the Cup finals

Over his nine seasons with the club, he established himself as a solid and consistent performer who missed only 21 games during that time, five of which were lost so that he could play in the Calgary Olympics in 1988. During most of his career as a Flame, he was a team leader, skating alongside his co-captain and linemate, Lanny McDonald. Together, they lead the Flames through the great battles of Alberta that were waged against their provincial rival, the Edmonton Oilers.

He built a reputation for leadership and was co-captain of the Flames when they won the Stanley Cup in 1989.

Sather wanted to be sure his club had enough firepower to combat the likes of Calgary's [CENSORED], [CENSORED], Jim Peplinski, and [CENSORED], any one of whom would gladly crash the net at the blink of an eye.

#9 - RW Shane Doan

In the spring of 2003, Doan helped Canada capture gold at the World Championship, before entering his ninth season with the Phoenix/Winnipeg franchise in 2003-04 ...

#20 - LW Dave Balon

Stanley Cup Champion (1965, 1966)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1965, 1967, 1968, 1971)

http://www.nationalpost.com/news/toronto/story.html?id=4496ded4-c2fb-4fbe-931f-f6a6cf29b457

He was born a fighter, a tough, bow-legged Prairie boy with an awkward skating style and a lion heart who left the family farm to find his way as an NHL hockey player. But the tough Prairie kid always stayed humble, and he always came home to Saskatchewan ... "Dave was real tough," (Marshall) Johnston said Wednesday ... He arrived in Montreal with a checker's reputation but exploded for 24 goals and 80 penalty minutes. The tough guy with the soft hands became a favourite of legendary Canadiens coach Toe Blake.

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=11910

Dave Balon began to feel the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis while still a high-scoring star in the NHL ... He won Cups with the Habs in 1965 and 1966 and led the league in playoff assists with the Minnesota North Stars in 1967 ... (With the Rangers) Balon was assigned to check opposing stars such as Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull, and his savvy play garnered him one of the best plus-minus ratings in the league.

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2007/05/30/balon-obit.html?ref=rss

"Davey was one of the most versatile players I ever coached," said [CENSORED], the longtime Rangers coach and general manager. "He was one of the best defensive forwards in the league, great in the corners and excellent on the power play." ... Balon could play centre but spent most of his time on the left wing, and settled into a two-way role with the Canadiens, scoring more than 40 points on two occasions ... He was one of the Top 10 NHL goal scorers in the 1970-71 season, finishing with a career-high 36. He potted four goals that season in a February game against Minnesota, and scored three goals on as many shots in a December win over the expansion Buffalo Sabres.

#30 - G Charlie Hodge

QJHL First All-Star Team (1952, 1953)
IHL Second All-Star Team (1954)
QHL Second All-Star Team (1955)
QHL First All-Star Team (1958)
AHL Second All-Star Team (1963)
NHL Second All-Star Team (1964, 1965)
Vezina Trophy (1964)
Shared Vezina Trophy with Gump Worsley (1966)
Played in NHL All-Star Game (1964, 1965, 1967)

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=18552

He proved to be a workhorse and a success wherever he strapped on his pads. Four times he was placed on either the First or Second All-Star Teams of the league in which he played. Hodge thought he caught his first major break with a 19 win and four-shutout performance in 30 appearances for the Habs in 1960-61, but it wasn't to be.

Early in 1963-64, he was starting his third consecutive season with the AHL's Quebec Aces when the tide finally turned in his favor. Hodge was called in to replace injured Gump Worsley as the Canadiens' first-string netminder. He stepped in admirably by registering 33 wins and an NHL best eight shutouts. His stellar work was recognized at the conclusion of the season when he was named the winner of the Vezina Trophy and selected to the NHL Second All-Star Team.

Despite being a part-time veteran of the NHL, many wondered if Hodge's success in 1963-64 was a fluke. These reservations proved inaccurate as the plucky netminder put up a 26-16-10 mark in 1964-65. His fine work contributed to the Habs' first Stanley Cup win since 1959-60.

Hodge and Worsley worked superbly together in 1965-66. The shining duo led Montreal to a repeat Stanley Cup performance and shared the Vezina Trophy after recording the stingiest goals-against mark in the NHL.

#26 - D Don Awrey

http://www.chidlovski.com/personal/1972/yroster/ca26.htm

Don Awrey was a classic NHL defense player that represented Boston Bruins in the 1972 Summit...Awrey had a reputation of being a solid and tough defenseman and a great team player. In his NHL years, he was always thrilled to help his team with reliable and steady defense work including physical battles in the corners and shot blocking.

http://bruinslegends.blogspot.com/2007/05/don-awrey.html

Off the ice you'd have trouble finding a kinder, easy-smiling and soft spoken man, the kind of person who is easy to get along with. One the ice he was a mean and miserable S.O.B., not afraid to bend the rules using to stop him from using his hands, feet, a well positioned stick and his nasty high elbows to stop an opponent. Awrey was the consummate team player who always put the team's fortunes go ahead of any personal accomplishments. He was a classic defensive defenseman who got the same kick out of blocking a shot as of scoring a goal. Awrey was paired together with the legendary Bobby Orr from time to time. As a "stay at home" defenseman, Awrey's attention to the back end allowed Orr to visit the offensive zone frequently.

A great boost to Don's morale was that he was paired together with the tough Ted Green on the blue line. Don became a meanie on defense. He made it his business to get a piece of every opposition puck-carrier.

"I was not well-liked by most of the guys I played against, especially the right wingers," Don said. "Guys going into the corners with me would try to punish me at the same time. So when that happened I would just raise my elbows a little to protect myself. I used to have some pretty good battles in those corners. And there is one player I can pick out who really gave me the roughest time and that was Bill Fairbairn. Billy and I used to beat the living daylights out of each other in the corners. We never made things easy on each other. If Billy went into the corner first, I would really give it to him. And if I went into the corner first he would really give it to me. But we never really had any physical fights against each other."

HISTORY

http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=279347


#2 Sprague Cleghorn D
5'10 190 L
--an elite blueliner in every aspect of the game.
--a protege of Cyclone Taylor, renowned for his skating and offensive ability.
--very physical and tenacious defender.
--scored at or above a point per game 6 times.
--twice scored above a goal per game.
--was considered one of the best D to ever play; Eddie Shore was often compared to Cleghorn.
--twice runner-up for the Hart ('24 and '26).
--1st D to lead an NHL team in scoring ('22).
--8th in goals and points in '22.
--6th in scoring in '15 NHA season.

--missed the '18 season with a broken leg.
--captain of the Cup-winning '24 Canadiens.
--won the Stanley Cup in '20, '24.

As well known as he was for his speculative rushes on offense, Cleghorn was lauded for his play even when he didn't have the puck. Many of the game's top forwards were less inclined to venture near a net guarded by a tough defender. But Cleghorn wasn't a mere bully; he was respected for exceptional defensive play...

#5 Bill Cook RW
5'10 175 R
--won 5 scoring titles, 2 Art Rosses ('27, '33) and 3 WCHL crowns ('24, '25, '26).
--3 time leading NHL goal scorer ('27, '32, '33), once finished 2nd to C. Conacher by just 1 goal ('31).
--scored more goals than any other NHLer from '26-27 to '35-'36 (a span that encompasses the best years of Morenz and Charlie Conacher), despite being in his 30's.
--3rd in assists in '30, 6th in '33.
--twice runner-up for the Hart ('27 and '33).
--3 time 1st AS, once 2nd AS, despite playing his best years before AS were selected. Cook won his 1st Art Ross, was Hart runner-up, and finished 4th, 7th and 10th in scoring before the advent of AS selections.
--played a modern style of offense.
--the best player on one of the best lines in NHL history.
--a power forward, to whom Gordie Howe was later compared.

--led the WCHL in assists in '25.
--scored the cup-winning OT goal in the '33 finals.
--captain of the NYR for 2 cups and 4 finals appearances.
--won the Stanley Cup in '28, '33.

William Osser Cook was considered by many to be the greatest right winger ever to play the game. He was a remarkably gifted and rugged competitor who served as the catalyst on the New York Rangers' famous Bread Line. Cook's input was crucial to the Rangers' first two Stanley Cup triumphs in 1928 and 1933.

Lester Patrick:

I need the Bill Cooks. The other players, when it comes right down to it, will follow the Bill Cooks.

BM67 cites "Ultimate Hockey" for ATD7:

Bill Cook was a remarkable blend of brains, beauty, and brawn. He was an outstanding stick-handler, a hard fast skater, and had an incredible shot. He was a huge physical presence with a mean streak.

#4 Mark Howe D/LW
5'11 190 L
--3 time Norris runner-up, once each to Coffey ('86), Bourque ('87) and Langway ('83).
--3 time 1st team AS D, finished ahead of Langway in '83 AS voting.
--Hart trophy finalist in '86, behind Gretzky and Lemieux.
--5th in Hart voting in '83; 8th in '87.
--5th in Norris voting in '80; 6th in '85.
--excellent skater, puckhandler and QB.
--his uncanny intelligence allowed him to control the game in all zones, and to excel both as a forward and on the blueline.
--scored 15+ goals 7 times, and 20 goals 3 times, as an NHL D.
--over a point per game 3 times as an NHL D.
--NHL +/- leader in '86 with +85. no other Philadelphia D besides Howe and his D partner were + in '86.
--2nd in +/- in '87, led all NHL D with +57.
--NHL career +400.

--WHA 1st AS LW in '79.
--WHA AS at both LW and D in '77.
--4th in WHA scoring in '79.
--WHA leading playoff scorer in '75, tied for the lead in goals for the AVCO Cup winning Houston Aeros.
--WHA all time leading playoff scorer.
--won the AVCO Cup in '74, '75.

Pelletier:

Blessed with excellent skating, speed and agility, Howe's defensive approach was definitely more finesse than physical. His uncanny ice vision and tremendous passing allowed him to control the game. He added a valuable dimension to a physical Flyers defense - he provided the ability to rush the puck out of the zone or make a beautiful break out pass.

#27 John Tonelli LW/C
6'1 200 L
--2nd AS LW in '82 and '86.
--Canada Cup MVP in '84.
--all time great board-man/grinder.
--strong defensive forward (5th in Selke voting in '82, 8th in '83, 6th in '84, 3rd in '85).
--career high of 100p in '85.
--one of the leading playoff scorers of the '80s.
--important role player of the NYI dynasty, scored 16, 13, 16 and 18 points in the 4 years of the NYI dynasty.
--won the Stanley Cup in '80, '81, '82, '83.
--better than Clark Gillies.

Al Arbour:

Tonelli will give you 100, no, 150 percent on every shift. He works so hard and just grinds for every goal.

Bob Nystrom:

John is without a doubt the hardest worker I've ever seen.

#16 Rick Middleton RW/LW
5'11 175 L
--2nd AS RW in '82.
--4th in Hart voting in '84.
--most points in a playoff year without reaching the finals (33 in '83).
--most points in a single playoff series, 19 against Buffalo in '83.
--excellent 2-way forward and PKer.
--4th in Selke voting in '84.
--nicknamed "Nifty" for his dazzling offensive skills.
--great shooter, led the NHL in shooting % in '82 with 25%
--5 consecutive 40g 90+ point seasons from '80-'84.
--was never a minus player after leaving NYR.
--career +186.
--also played LW.
--played in Canada Cup '84 and '87.
--co-captain of the Boston Bruins '85-'88.

Legends of Hockey:

Middleton was one of very few players in the NHL who was strong on both the power-play and as a penalty killer.

Brad Park:

I've seen them all, and Nifty was the best one-on-one player at the time. You could take anyone in the league, give Nifty the puck, and ninety percent of the time, he'd turn the other guy inside-out.

#1 Harry Lumley G
6'0 200 catches L
--1st AS goalie in '54 and '55, knocking Sawchuk onto the 2nd team.
--Hart runner-up in '55, behind teammate Ted Kennedy (who did not make the AS team, so Lumley may have been the rightful winner).
--4th in Hart voting in '46, 5th in '54.
--Vezina (Jennings) winner in '54.
--lowest GAA in '54 and '55.
--SO leader in '48, '53 and '54.
--13 SO in '54, the record until '70.
--top 10 all time in SO with 71; 7 playoff SO.
--leader in wins '49, '50.
--signed by Detroit at age 16.
--down 3-1 in the '45 finals, Lumley, aged 19, posted back-to-back SO to force game 7.
--down 3-2 in the '50 semi-finals, Lumley again posted back-to-back SO to reach the finals.
--game 7 record of 4-1 with 1.60 GAA.
--backstopped the Gordie Howe-less Red Wings to the '50 Stanley Cup, recording 3 SO and 1.85 GAA.
--won 3 OT games in '50 playoffs, including 2 in game 7's.
--won the Stanley Cup in '50.


#8 Vsevolod Bobrov LW/C
5'11 170 R
--an incredible athlete, among Russia's best ever in hockey, football and bandy.
--scored 89 goals in 59 career games (in 4 seasons) for the Soviet team.
--scored 243 goals in 130 career games in the Soviet league.
--voted best forward at '54 WC.
--1st captain of the Soviet national team.
--leading goal scorer at '56 Olympics, '57 WC.
--Soviet league leading goal scorer in '48, '51, '52.
--Soviet league all star in '48, 50, '51, '52, '54, '55, '56, '57.
--led the USSR to the Olympic gold in '56.
--led the USSR to the WC gold in '54, '56.
--once scored 10 goals in a game.
--Bobrov's 52 goals in '48 led the Soviet league, the runner-up scored 23.
--USSR postponed its international ice hockey debut to '54 due to an Bobrov's injury in '53.
--inaugural IIHF inductee.

Maurice Richard:

Bobrov is an outstanding individual and a great player. I consider him being one of the ten best players in hockey history.

#24 Bernie Federko C
6' 195 L
--1st player ever to record 10 consecutive 50 assist seasons.
--tied for the lead in playoffs scoring in '86, despite not making the finals.
--scored 101p in 91 career playoff games on a mediocre team with mediocre linemates.
--scored at least a point per game in 6 of his 11 playoffs.
--led or tied for the lead in St Louis playoff scoring 7 of 11 playoffs
--8 60 assist seasons.
--top 10 in scoring 5 times.
--top 10 in assists 7 times.

Pelletier:

Federko was one of the game's best playmakers in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. His outstanding hockey sense and anticipation combined with his soft hands placed him among the league's elite playmakers.

#21 Don Marcotte LW
5'11 183 L
--gritty, tenacious defensive forward and PKer.
--known for his hustle and physical play.
--played his best hockey before the existence of the Selke, but finished 3rd in '78 and 2nd in '79.
--able to play all 3 forward positions.
--played on one of the top defensive lines in NHL history.
--only averaged about 25 PIMs per season.
--was never a minus player other than his rookie season.
--7 time 20 goal scorer.
--won the Stanley Cup in '70, '72.

from Legends of Hockey:

Marcotte was then able to sustain a 12-year NHL career by being extremely useful. Although listed as a left winger, he could play all three forward positions. ....he excelled as a great two-way player and penalty killer who could dish out bone-jarring hits.

#6 Jim Schoenfeld D
6'2 206 L
--Norris finalist in '80.
--2nd AS in '80.
--led NHL in +/- in '80 with +60.
--captain of the Buffalo Sabres from '74-'77.
--became the NHL's youngest captain at 22.
--only a minus player twice in his career (one of those seasons Schoenfeld played for the Dead Wings, the other he missed about 2/3 of the season).
--strong PKer, shotblocker, crease-clearer and bodychecker.
--was paired with Tim Horton in his rookie season.
--career +237.

Pelletier:

Jim Schoenfeld was a goaltender's best friend. A dominating defenseman in his own zone, Schoenfeld was a more unheralded version of Rod Langway in many ways.

#3 James Patrick
6'2 200 R
--smooth skater with a strong transition game.
--smart positional defender who also played a physical game.
--played in '87 Canada Cup.
--among the all time leaders among defensemen in games played (1280).
--voted NYR MVP in '88.
--2nd in NYR playoff scoring in '90, tied for 1st on the team in assists.
--scored 10+ goals for 7 consecutive seasons.

A sound defense, James Patrick said, is a delicate balance dependent on an interwoven blend of speed and strength and an unbroken line of communication between forwards and defensemen.

#11 Steve Kasper
5'8 175 L
--won Selke in '82, Selke runner-up in '88.
--finished in top 5 in Selke voting 4 times.
--1st player to beat Bob Gainey in Selke voting.
--very quick and agile, was able to shadow and stifle the opposition's best offensive players.
--scored 20g and 50 points 4 times.

Gretzky:

Nobody plays better defense on me than Kasper. When I got married, I half expected to see Kasper standing at the altar in a tux.

Tommy Ivan
--coached the Detroit Red Wings from '47-'54.
--won 3 Stanley Cups with Detroit ('50, '52, '54).
--led Detroit to 6 consecutive regular season championships.
--as GM, turned around the Chicago Blackhawks franchise, taking them from bottom of the NHL to the Stanley Cup.
--neglected neither offense nor defense, but emphasized harmony and smart play on both ends of the ice.
--unlike many old-time coaches, Ivan maintained good relations with his players.
--relied not on threats and intimidation, but on more modern tenets of communication, strong fundamentals and strategy.

Red Kelly:

Tommy Ivan didn't teach me the things that Joe (Primeau) did, but Tommy Ivan's manner was much like Joe's. Never shouted. Never ranted and raved. Very quiet but very authoritative too. I was lucky. Tommy knew the systems and he trained you in those systems - how to play your position, where to play. I was lucky to have those kind of coaches.

#20 Phil Goyette C
5'11 170 L
--excellent faceoff man and checker for the '50s Habs dynasty.
--had the talent to play on the 1st line, as he did with NYR and St Louis.
--4 20g seasons, with a career high of 29.
--a strong playmaker: 9 30+ assist seasons, 5 40+ assist seasons.
--top 10 in assists 6 times ('58, '64, '65, '67, '68, '70), peaking at 2nd in '67, behind Mikita.
--top 10 in scoring 3 times ('64, '67, 70), peaking at 4th in '70, behind Orr, Esposito and Mikita.
--9th in goals once ('64).
--twice top 10 in Hart voting ('67, '70).
--was 2nd in scoring (to Orr) halfway through the '70 season.
--an extremely clean player, recorded only 131 PIMs in his career.
--won the Stanley Cup in '57, '58, '59, '60.

Legends of Hockey:

Some say that he had eyes in the back of his head because of his great peripheral vision and smooth passing skills. He was fast becoming a well-balanced craftsman who could play effectively at both ends of the ice.

Pelletier:

Phil Goyette came out of junior as a slick passing, high scoring offensive dynamo in the Montreal system. Unfortunately for Goyette, Montreal didn't need another high scoring center as they already boasted Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard and Ralph Backstrom.
....
He learned the fine art of defensive anticipation, shadowing your check and face-offs. Phil finally caught on with Montreal as a defensive minded 4th line center.

#42 Bill Hajt D
6'3 215 L
--very steady defensive d-man who relied on his size and smart positioning.
--strong PKer.
--career +321.
--averaged only around 35 PIMs per season.
--only a minus in one season, in which he missed 1/2 the games.

Hajt was a huge defenseman, especially during the 1970s. Standing 6'3" and 215lbs, Hajt wasn't known for utilizing his size in an overly-physical manner. Instead he would routinely and usually flawlessly steer people wide and out of scoring position. He would then tie them up and kick the puck to a teammate who would clear the zone. They key to his game was perfect positioning and about making the safest play possible in order to clear the zone.
...
In fact during the Buffalo Sabres "glory years" in the late 1970s as a true Cup contender, Punch Imlach called Hajt his steadiest defenseman.

#34 John Vanbiesbrouck G
5'9 175 catches L
--Vezina winner, 1st AS in '86.
--Vezina runner-up, 2nd AS in '94.
--Hart finalist in '94.
--top 5 in Hart voting in '86.
--led the sub-.500 '86 NYR to the Wales conference finals, upsetting the 2 best teams in the conference, the Flyers and the Capitals.
--carried the '96 Panthers to the finals, upsetting the 2 best teams in the East, Lindros' Flyers and Lemieux's Penguins.
--played in the all star game in '94, '96, '97
--has been a back-up, and has the right attitude for a back-up.
--top 15 in all time wins.
--posted the best GAA and best save % at the '87 Canada Cup.

hockeygoalies.org:

Strong technical game, lightning-quick reflexes, anticipation and confidence. Very aggressive. Plays breakaways very well. Very active and competent with stick. Good conditioning, good attitude.

#28 Mickey Redmond RW
5'11 185 R
--a sniper with an overpowering slapshot.
--1st AS '73, 2nd AS '74.
--back to back 50g seasons in '73, '74.
--3rd player in NHL history to score 50g twice (Hull and Esposito)
--2nd in goals to Esposito in '73, 3rd in '74 to Esposito and Martin.
--9th in goals in '72 with 42.
--career high 93 points.
--led NHL in '74 with 21 PP goals, still the Detroit record.
--selected to play for '72 Summit Series.
--centerpiece of the Habs' trade for Frank Mahovlich in '71.
--2nd in goals and 4th in scoring for the '70 Habs.
--scored at nearly a point per game pace in '75, before injuries claimed his career.
--won the Stanley Cup in '68, '69.

Gordie Howe:

Redmond probably has as high a scoring potential as any young player in hockey. He shoots as hard as Bobby Hull and gets his shot off in a hurry. He's not big, but he's tremendously strong. His big season was no surprise to me.

Bill Libby:

If a team got the puck to him, he had a low wrist shot that he got away with remarkable quickness and a slap shot which had the force and accuracy of a rifle.

#9 Murray Murdoch LW
5'10 180 L
--tough defensive forward who checked star RW's like Charlie Conacher.
--the ironman of the early NHL, played 508 consecutive games, a record that stood for nearly 30 years.
--scored 10+ goals 3 times, and 20+ points 4 times.
--2nd leading playoff scorer on the '33 champion NYR.
--led NYR in playoff goals and points in '30.
--won the Stanley Cup in '28, '33.

Conacher thought that when he went into the locker room between periods that I was going to go with him. We shadowed them pretty good. When that line came on the ice, we had to go on against them.

Legends of Hockey:

When Conn Smythe was assembling the first ever New York Ranger team to begin with the 1926-27 season, he signed Murray Murdoch as one of his original New York Rangers. During his eleven NHL seasons in New York, Murdoch was a solid checking forward, contributing to two Stanley Cup championships, 1927-28 and 1932-33.

#7 Tomas Sandstrom RW/LW
6'3 206 L
--speedy agitator with size and scoring touch.
--scored over a point per game 6 times.
--scored 40 goals twice; 20 goals 9 times.
--7th in goals in '91, LA Kings leading goal scorer that season.
--2nd (to Gretzky) in playoff scoring on the '93 Kings, with 25 points.
--81 points in 139 playoff games.
--won the Stanley Cup in '97.


#19 Rich Preston RW
6' 185 R
--hard-working digger and checker.
--'79 WHA playoff MVP.
--4th in Selke voting in '80.
--scored 25 goals once and 30 goals once in the NHL.
--scored 20+ goals in every WHA season, peaking at 38.

Pelletier:

Preston was relegated more to a defensive role, a role which he enthusiastically took on and excelled at. He was a student of the game and had a good understanding of any situation on the ice. He was a key penalty killer for Chicago as well.

An aggressive player despite an average build, Preston was excellent in the corners, a poor man's John Tonelli. Preston was also a super team guy in the dressing room as well. He had a contagious attitude. His up beat and positive attitude helped young players and other veterans alike.

#22 Mario Marois D
5'11 190 R
--physical D with offensive ability.
--scored 10+ goals twice; scored 40+ points 5 times.
--captain of the Quebec Nordiques from '83-'85.

Legends of Hockey:

Defenceman Mario Marois was a fine playmaker with a hard shot from the point that also thrived by playing it rough in his own end.
.....
Marois' offensive talent suited the Nords' fast-paced game and his tough work on defense pleased coach Michel Bergeron. His crisp passes and willingness to fend off opposing forwards made him a valuable asset to the club when it reached the semi-finals in 1982 and 1985.

#10 Aleksandr Gusev D
6 190 L
--strong 2 way D, known for his bodychecking.
--had a powerful slapshot.
--IIHF all star '73.
--WC gold '73, '74.
--played in the '72 and '74 Summit Series, and '76 Canada Cup.


#43 Miikka Kiprusoff G

​

LW - Bobby Hull:

Few of the game's superstars could match the physical talents of Bobby Hull. The Golden Jet combined speed, a feared slapshot and a powerful physique to rise to the elite of the NHL in the 1960s. Depending on the source, his shot was timed at approximately 120 miles per hour. His powerful legs never stopped moving and his muscular upper body enabled him to handle the rough side of the game. Hull was a legend in Chicago and later enjoyed success in the World Hockey Association and on the international stage while representing Canada.He retired after that season with 610 goals in 1,063 regular-season games. Hull took his place in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 along with old teammate Stan Mikita.

RW - Jari Kurri:

Playing the majority of his career both with Wayne Gretzky and in Gretzky's shadow as his so called, "Right-hand Man," Jari Pekka Kurri was considered by many to be perhaps the best defensive forward in the NHL. His two-way abilities were the perfect complement for his hard, accurate shooting and scoring proficiency.Jari Kurri finished his career as the highest scoring European-born player in NHL history with totals of 601 goals, 797 assists, and 1,398 points. He also finished with 106 career PLAYOFF goals and 233 PLAYOFF points, third all-time behind only Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier. While he wasn't the flashiest player, Kurri was consistent and this ability alone enabled him to become an icon for thousands of fans and young players, both in Finland and throughout North America.

D - Jack Stewart:

Jack "Black Jack" Stewart was the complete package on defense during his dozen years in the NHL. One of the most punishing bodycheckers of his day, Stewart was able to rush with the puck when the need arose. His rock-solid play contributed to Detroit's Stanley Cup wins in 1943 and 1950, and his willingness to resort to a rough style of play when necessary gave him a reputation as one of the game's bad boys.A solid work ethic and excellent stamina were also major features of the rugged defender's game. He was a wiry 185 pounds but extremely powerful.Stewart was placed on the NHL First All-Star Team in both 1948 and 1949. During this period he waged a legendary battle with Boston forward Milt Schmidt. The two would often exchange devastating but clean open-ice hits against one another that at times gained more attention than the score of the game.

D - Alexei Kasatonov:

Defenseman Alexei Kasatonov was one of the top blue liners in Russia throughout the 1980's. IN 1981, when the Russians won the Canada Cup, Kasatonov was named to the tournament All-Star Team. That year he also was named a Russian All-Star a feat he would repeat in each of the next seven seasons. In that stretch he also participated in three Olympic tournaments and won two gold's and a silver, won five World Championships and 11 National Titles in the Soviet Union. Throughout this time he was paired with Russian legend Slava Fetisov and many hockey observers considered them to be the best defensive pair outside of the NHL.Kasatonov also received the great tribute of being named an "Honoured Master of Sport" in Russia.

D - Ching Johnson:

Defenseman Ching Johnson matched his rugged defensive play with an ability to contribute inside the opposition's blue line. He was a valuable team leader and fan favorite throughout his 12-year NHL career.During his playing days, Johnson was considered one of the hardest bodycheckers ever to play the game. More significantly, he perfected the technique of nullifying the opposition by clutching and grabbing them as discreetly as possible - a pragmatic defensive strategy for the wily but slow-footed rearguard.Johnson accumulated 86 points in his 12 NHL seasons. But it was his physical play and his charismatic leadership that made him one of the most valuable rearguards of his time. Ching Johnson was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1958.

G - Tony Esposito:

As one half of perhaps the most colorful brother act in NHL history, Tony "0" revolutionized goaltending in the NHL with his legs-open "butterfly" style and his spectacular flop-on-the-ice saves during the 16 years he spent in the league, all except one with the Chicago Black Hawks.His first partial year with Montreal was unspectacular - the Canadiens had Gump Worsley and Rogie Vachon ahead of him - but after being traded to Chicago, he was impressive in his first full season, recording a Calder and Vezina Trophy-winning year in 1969-70 with a 2.17 goals-against average and a modern-era record of 15 shutouts.Fans of the game were quick to point out that the Hawks under coach Billy Reay were a defensive-minded squad and that at 5'11" and 190 pounds, Esposito was a stocky, very mature 26-year-old rookie. But more important, he was fast gaining a reputation as having the quickest glove hand in the game and an unorthodox style that was confounding but nevertheless extremely effective. The Vezina win in his first year made him the first rookie to win the trophy since Frank Brimsek in 1939.He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988. But he will be best remembered as one of the true pioneers among netminders in the NHL.

RW - Babe Dye:

Dye was short at 5'8" and slight at just 150 pounds, and his strengths and weaknesses as a player were quickly exposed. On the downside, his skating ability was behind other NHLers, but because of his brilliant stickhandling and hard shot he made an impressive contribution to the team, scoring 11 goals in just twice as many games during his first season.Three times between 1920 and 1925 Dye led the league in scoring. He twice scored goals in 11 consecutive games and in the 1924-25 season he counted 38, a Toronto record that stood for 35 years, until Frank Mahovlich entered the NHL. In his first six seasons, Dye scored a remarkable 176 goals in just 170 games, a pace that wasn't equaled until Wayne Gretzky came along in the 1980s and rewrote the NHL record book. Because of his weak skating combined with his high scoring, Dye always had an unbalanced goals-to-assists ratio. During his career, he scored 202 goals but made only 41 assists.Dye's name is also in the record book on account of the 1922 Stanley Cup playoffs. The St. Pats played the champions of the Western Canada Hockey League, the Vancouver Millionaires, in a best-of-five finals. Dye scored two game-winning goals, including four in the fifth and final game, a 5-1 Toronto rout. In all he scored nine of the team's 16 goals, and those nine are still a Stanley Cup finals record. This was to be Dye's only taste of Cup victory.

C - Butch Goring:

Robert "Butch" Goring's 16 year career included time with Los Angeles and Boston, but he will best be remembered for helping the New York Islanders win the Stanley Cup four times in the early 1980s.In Los Angeles he developed into one of the most complete players in the league. An excellent penalty killer, he could also score goals with the best of them. He was good on faceoffs and was a team leader in the dressing room. His passing was first rate and he had a reputation for being one of the best shooters on breakaways. He also had an "iron man" streak, going 379 games without missing one to injury.The trade was sheer genius and had exactly the desired effect for the New Yorkers. That same spring Goring helped the Islanders win their first Stanley Cup, and the next year he was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for being the outstanding player of those playoffs. In all, he won four championships in a row with the Islanders and filled just about every role imaginable on the team. After winning the Conn Smythe, Goring was named the team's player assistant coach. But this experience gave him his first taste of coaching responsibilities, and he savored every moment.

LW - Paul Kariya:

Kariya rebounded to give everyone a taste of what was to come in 47 games with the Mighty Ducks and as a member of Canada's entry in the World Cup. The next season, 1995-96, he exploded for 108 points in his first full year in the NHL. It was a pace he would continue over the following three seasons, collecting 227 points in 220 games.In February 1996 Kariya was named a starter for the All-Star Game. He was still in awe of his fellow stars, making comments to that effect to the man he stood next to during the introductions, Winnipeg's high scoring Teemu Selanne. Three weeks later Kariya became more familiar with the talented Finn when the Mighty Ducks made a trade with Winnipeg to bring Selanne to Anaheim. Selanne had the speed and goal-scoring touch to take advantage of Kariya's innate ability to find the open man. The twosome formed a dangerous and fast combination, often teaming with center Steve Rucchin who, like Kariya, was a product of the post-secondary hockey system, joining the team after starring at the University of Western Ontario.He returned to form the next season. Terrorizing defenders and goalies with Selanne, Kariya finished third in overall scoring in 1998-99.

C - Mickey MacKay:

A marvelous skater and goal scorer, Duncan "Mickey" MacKay was blessed with instinct and timing on the ice that was matched by few contemporaries. A star rover and center in a number of leagues during his career, he was particularly successful in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, where his offensive heroics made him one of the Vancouver Millionaires' most popular stars.His 33 goals in 17 games as a rookie exceeded all other rivals. During the Stanley Cup victory over Ottawa, MacKay continued to impress with four goals in the three-game series that his team dominated.He was sensational during Vancouver's heartbreaking loss to the Toronto Arenas in the 1918 Stanley Cup series, scoring five goals in as many games playing as a rover and right wing."The Wee Scot" spent the 1919-20 schedule with the Calgary Columbus of the Alberta Big 4 Hockey League before returning to Vancouver the next year. He topped the PCHA in goals scored during its last year of operation in 1923-24. That same year his Vancouver squad lost to the Montreal Canadiens in the last Stanley Cup championship series involving a PCHA team.The Vancouver franchise joined the Western Canada Hockey League in 1924-25 and MacKay led the way on the strength of a league high of 27 goals in 28 games.MacKay scored 260 regular-season and playoff goals in three top-flight leagues between 1914 and 1929. He was inducted into the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame and earned a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1952.

D - Stefan Persson:

A brilliant defenseman during the 1980s, Persson had indeed been given much.Persson was with the NHL's New York Islanders for four Stanley Cup wins. Few Canadians or Americans can boast of this kind of success.But Persson's record is also remarkable because those wins were in four successive years: 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. He also set another record with the Islanders, playing more games than any other Swedish player.During nine seasons with the Islanders, including playoffs, Persson played in 724 games, scored 59 goals and made 367 scoring passes. While with Brynas, he received his first national championship silver medal and two national championship gold medals, in 1976 and 1977.

C - Craig MacTavish:

Center Craig MacTavish played nearly 1,100 NHL games between 1979 and 1997. He was a tenacious checker and team leader who could also be dangerous in the offensive zone. The hard-nosed competitor was the last player in the NHL to ply his trade without a helmet.MacTavish recorded four 20-goal seasons and played a major role on Edmonton's Stanley Cup triumphs in 1987, 1988 and 1990. In 1992 he was named team captain and held this position until he was traded to the New York Rangers late in the 1993-94 season.The veteran pivot's ability to win face-offs and keep his cool in big games helped the Blueshirts win their first Stanley Cup since 1940.He was most noted for his stellar defensive play and was also known as a good faceoff man. His teams only once failed to make the playoffs (92-93 Oilers, although the next year he played 66 games with the non-playoff Oilers)

Coach - Lester Patrick:

In 1926. Patrick served as coach of the Rangers until 1939 - guiding them to Stanley Cup championships in 1928 and 1933 in addition to being named as the NHL's best coach 6 times (there was no official trophy given to the top coach at that time, but hew as named to the NHL first all star team as coach 6 times).

D - Petr Svoboda:

Petr Svoboda is a true warrior and, throughout his career, he has been a shining example of the way in which the game should be played," Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Jay Feaster said. Svoboda played defence with grace and skill, scoring 58 goals and 341 assists for 399 points over 18 NHL seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers and Lightning. He captured the Stanley Cup in his sophomore season after being drafted fifth overall by the Canadiens. Svoboda, a native of Most, Czech Republic, also won an Olympic gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Games. He even scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Russia in the championship final.

RW - Duane Sutter:

Easily the most out-going of the clan, Duane Sutter was a first-round draft pick of the NY Islanders in 1979 (17th overall). It was great timing for Duane as he joined the Islanders just in time to play on four consecutive Stanley Cup winners at the start of the ‘80s. Duane applied the typical Sutter style of play immediately. He banged. He crashed. He fought. He blocked shots. He sacrificed for his teammates. He was a leader. He won.But he added a little extra spice his brothers were not really noted for. He yapped. Claiming to be heavily influenced by his favorite movie, "Slap Shot," no one was safe from his verbal assaults. He would often be in the middle of an after-the-whistle scrum, chirping away at opposition goaltenders, or defensemen, or coaches or referees. Affectionately known strictly as grinder, and unlike brothers Brian, Darryl, Brent and to a lesser degree Ron, never showed a lot of offensive upside. This was despite his NHL debuted where he scored 2 goals and 3 points against the Edmonton Oilers. However he scored 20 goals only once, but that was fine with his teammates. Often playing on a line with brother Brent, Duane brought so much to the table that could never be measured by statistics. Like all the Sutters, he earned twice his paycheck just because of his heart and determination. Although he dreamed of playing in the NHL all star game, there was little chance a player of his stature could ever make it there. Yet he was at least as valuable, and in many cases more valuable, of a hockey player as almost any of the annual all stars.

D - Kevin Hatcher:

Steady work apparently agreed with Hatcher, who missed only one game the following season and led his team in points with 74. He also made his second All-Star appearance. In 1991-92, he again represented Team USA in the Canada Cup. He also scored his 300th NHL point and appeared in his third consecutive All-Star game. In 1992-93, he scored a career-high 34 goals and became only the seventh defenseman in league history score thirty goals in a single season. He ended the season with a career high 79 points.Hatcher played 1,157 career NHL games, scoring 227 goals and 450 assists for 677 points. He also registered 1,392 career penalty minutes. Hatcher's best season offensively was the 1992-93 season, when he scored 34 goals and 79 points, both career highs. His 34 goals that season led all NHL defenseman.

C - Mel Bridgman:

A scrappy centre who could be effective at both ends of the ice, Mel Bridgman played just under 1,000 games in a solid NHL career. A model of consistency, he reached the 20-goal mark six times and was often at his best in big games or the post-season.Bridgman scored 23 goals as a rookie centring Terry Crisp and Bob "Mad Dog" Kelly. He also contributed 14 points as the Flyers reached the Stanley Cup finals where their attempt to "threepeat" fell short against the Montreal Canadiens. Bridgman spent over six years in Philly including the 1979-80 season when they reached the final and set an NHL record by going undefeated in 35 consecutive games. He also succeeded Bobby Clarke as the team's captain that same year.

RW - Cliff Koroll:

Right-winger Cliff Koroll was an excellent two-way player who spent all eleven of his NHL seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks. He reached the 50-point mark four times even though he was required to spend much of his time checking and killing penalties.Mikita had nothing but praise for the young Koroll, too. "I had a bad back for most of the time Cliff was breaking in. He knew this and did more of the dirty work in the corners than anyone realizes. And he listens and learns and works hard, harder than most people believe. He practices longer than many and never stops trying to improve his shot and other phases of the game.I always played the power play and I killed penalties all the time so I was sort of an all-around type player. I wasn't going to be a 50 goal scorer by any means, but I certainly had some great years.

LW - Harry Watson:

Throughout his career, Watson was best known for his offensive ability, which he combined with a quiet, even temperament on the ice to complement his strong leadership. A left wing who was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in 1923, Harry Percival Watson played 14 seasons in the NHL on four different teams from 1941 to 1954.In Toronto he quickly teamed up with center Syl Apps and tough guy Bill Ezinicki to form a scoring trio feared around the league. This troika helped the Leafs win the Stanley Cup four times during Watson's nine seasons at Maple Leaf Gardens, giving him a total of five Cup wins in his career.As an individual, Watson's best year was with the Leafs in 1948-49. He led the club in scoring with 26 goals and, unbelievably, didn't record a single penalty minute throughout the season. He also scored the eventual Stanley Cup-winning goal that year en route to a 4-0 swamp of his old team, the Red Wings.Overall, Watson played in 809 regular-season games in the NHL, scoring 236 career goals to go with 207 assists for 443 career points. In addition to his five Stanley Cup wins, Watson's teams succeeded in making the playoffs in nine of the 14 years he played. He also played in seven All-Star games, usually as a member of the Cup-winning team.

LW - Stan Jonathan:

Stan Jonathan was a combative left winger who refused to back down from anybody despite being only 5'8". He could also score and play defense responsibly which made him a huge asset to the Boston Bruins in the late 1970s and early 1980s.In the post-season his grit and occasional goal helped the club reach the Stanley Cup finals. Jonathan enjoyed perhaps his finest regular season in 1977-78 with 27 goals while playing with Gregg Sheppard and Don Marcotte. He was also a key factor in the playoffs when Boston qualified for the final for the second consecutive year. He played four more seasons in Beantown but the team couldn't get past the semi-finals.

G - Chico Resch:

A fan favourite wherever he played, Chico Resch got his career rolling at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. During his four years on campus, he earned a degree in education while tending goal for the Bulldogs.With nothing left to accomplish in the minors, Resch stepped into a role as backup goalie for the Islanders. After one season on the pine, he stepped forward to assume front-line status, winning far more games than he lost while maintaining a strong goals-against average. During his seven-plus seasons on Long Island, he was twice selected as a second-team all-star.Resch reached the height of his success by playing an instrumental role in helping his team take their first-ever Stanley Cup in 1979-80.Resch put up a brave front between the pipes and was rewarded with the Bill Masterton Trophy as the player who best exemplified the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey in 1982.

DALLAS FREEZE
CHL Playoff Participants: 1994, 1993

REAL-WORLD TEAM HISTORY
The Dallas Freeze were a short-lived CHL team who played three seasons from 1992 to 1995. Center Wayne Anchikoski paced the offense, totaling 228 points in three seasons, the franchise high. Goalie Mike Zanier set the standard in year one, tallying a 24-14-2 record, putting the Freeze in the playoffs. Despite a rabid fan base and passionate series with cross-Metroplex rivals Fort Worth Fire, a group of kids named Mike, Derian, Shane and Andy moved into town in 1993, a deathblow to minor league hockey in North Texas. Damn you, Norm Green.

Our Barn
The Dallas Freeze played their home games at the Fair Park Coliseum in Dallas, the same building the Dallas Blackhawks had used 20 years prior. The Coliseum -- originally built for livestock shows in 1936 -- sits about 1,000 yards away from the Cotton Bowl of college football fame. The 8,000 seat barn on the Texas State Fairgrounds has chain-link fences, low ceilings, awful lighting, poorly maintained ice and some of the warmest temperatures in the league.

Notable NHL alumni:
During our inagural season, we were blessed to have Chelios, Audette and Fleury all on one line ... Steve Chelios, Brian Fleury and Gary Audette that is. No relation.

​

Coaching:

The tandem of Pete Green and Ted Nolan are an absolute force behind the bench. Green will bring the game planning and hockey intelligence that propelled his Ottawa Senators teams to 2 Stanley Cup championships in 6 seasons and a .640 career winning %. Having one of his top scorers in tow during that tremendous run in Punch Broadbent should only help the communications lines between Pete and the players. The Scouts are full of character and leadership from top to bottom, this should only serve to help Coach Green get through to everyone from 1 down to 22. Coach Nolan was brought on for his ability to motivate his teams above and beyond expectations. Ted's penchant for getting the absolute most from his teams every night, coupled with Green's tactical skills will be a huge advantage for the Scouts in the coaching department. Ted is very respectful of other legendary coaches and the history of hockey. He will no doubt help in whatever capacity Coach Green asks of him. We expect Coach Green to handle most of the X's and O's while Coach Nolan serves as a motivator, mentor and general assistant coach. With this tandem we feel the Scouts have one of the top benches in the league.


Goaltending:

Johnny Bower is one of the great clutch goaltenders of all time with a retro Conn Smythe trophy, 2 Vezinas and leading the league in GAA 3 straight seasons to go along with his 4 Stanley Cup wins. An amazing resume no doubt. With current Kansas City Scout Tim Horton and his 6 1st or 2nd team All-Star selections, the 2 former Leafs teammates create a very difficult environment in which to score, especially in the postseason as evidenced by their astounding success. Ed Johnston provides the Scouts with a very capable backup who can certainly contribute positively for the 20 or so games he will play during the regular season. Eddie's positive attitude will be the perfect asset for the reserve goaltender role, a role he served for Team Canada in the Summit Series previously. The 1970 Bruins won the Cup with Johnston backing up Cheevers and Johnston had a very solid regular season getting into 16 games and posting a sub 3.00 GAA. In 1972 he led all post-season goalies with 6 wins and a 1.86 GAA in winning the cup. The Scouts feel he is an outstanding backup goalie for Bower and as evidenced by his 72 season, can even fill in during the postseason if it came to that. However it likely won't as Bower is our horse, but it is nice to have that luxury.


Top line:

The presence of Mark Messier in the pivot brings a toughness/leadership/scoring/do-it-all backbone player to the line. A player that is responsible defensively as well as explosive offensively. The complementary players on the top line each bring different traits in their own respective way. Steve Shutt brings the big goal scorer's mentality to the top line, he can play in front of the net as well as shoot it from the point or the wing. He is also a clutch goal scorer having 3 top 10 finishes in GWG including leading the league in that category in 1976-77. On the right side, Kenny Wharram brings the speed and playmaking ability to go along with Messier's all around game and Shutt's goal scoring ability. Wharram's ability to fly will help press the defense and bring the all-around balance that any effective 1st line has to have.

2nd line:

Another all-around solid line comprised of a complete offensive genius in Frank Foyston, a great skating as well as backchecking presence on left wing in Paul Thompson who also provides smarts and leadership while being no slouch offensively as well, as evidenced by 5 top 10 point finishes and 4 top 10 goal finishes respectively. Punch Broadbent on the right wing brings exactly what you would envision, a crease clearing, no nonsense presence in front of the net, who also has a nose for it. Broadbent's 3 top 10 goal finishes (including leading the NHL in 1921-22, along with winning the Art Ross) combined with his 5 top 10 PIM finishes will pose some headaches for opposing coaches (and players). This line should be one of the better all around 2nd lines in the entire draft. Both the top line and this line bring, playmaking, leadership, defensive presence, a front of the net presence, some speed, goal scoring and toughness via talented players who each contribute to that equation in their own way.

3rd line:

This 2-way line features a former Selke trophy winner in Troy Murray at the pivot who can also chip in quite nicely offensively evidenced by a career high of 45 goals and 99 points in 1985-86. Murray is also a very scary player on the kill with 2 top 10 SHG finishes to his credit in addition to a top 10 GWG season. Rugged Alf Smith takes up his right side and provides physical play as well as timely goal scoring (33 goals in 18 Stanley Cup games). Ross Lonsberry is a protypical 2-way left wing who is a 2 time Stanley Cup champion and exhibited great checking ability as well as play in the corners. He is also a major threat shorthanded having finished 2nd in the NHL in SHG in 1970-71. This 3rd line should be able to both handle top lines defensively as well as score the puck.

4th line:

The 4th line brings a bit of everything to the table, we have some sandpaper (Gallant), Toughness/Leadership (Walter) and one of the premier 2 way players in the NHA before his career was cut short due to his death during WW1 (Davidson). All 3 of these players can skate, all 3 can play defense and all 3 can contribute on the offensive side. We feel like we have one of the better 4th lines in this draft because of the supreme 2-way nature of this line and the Scouts feel comfortable icing it late in games as well. Gallant boasts a top 10 SHG and GWG finish to his credit. 2 players on this line were captains during their playing careers. Ryan Walter led the Capitals for multiple seasons and Scotty Davidson captained a cup winning Toronto team in only his 2nd year in the NHA. Davidson also led the champion Toronto team in goals that season with 23 tying him for 6th in the league and boasted 133 PIMs in 40 NHA games. This is truly an outstanding 4th line full of character and leadership who can also burn you offensively and play a strong 2-way game in the process.

Top D pairing:

The combo of Horton and Pospisil provide just about every combination of game you like to play. Big hits? Horton can oblige. Clear your own zone? Pospisil is there. Rush the puck? Horton again. Big shot from the point? Yep, Horton can do that too. If Horton takes off with the puck, the fact that Pospisil is back there gives the Scouts a great deal of confidence in their own zone. Not to mention I'm sure Johnny Bower loves having his old buddy Tim back there taking care of things as well.

2nd D pairing:

Babe is a puck mover, plain and simple and when you have a puck mover, you have to compliment him with a guy who can take care of his own zone in spades. Barclay Plager is that player, you will always get an honest days work from him and he will run through a brick wall in order to win hockey games. He will be relied upon to take care of the house if Pratt is on the move. Plager can absolutely level you as well as be a very effective penalty killer and shotblocker. He is the perfect compliment to one of the better offensive defenseman in the draft in Pratt. Pratt could also take care of himself when necessary adding in 5 top 10 PIM seasons to go along with his Hart and multiple cups.

3rd D pairing:

This pairing combines the offensive ability of Stackhouse with the shutdown capabilities and pure heart of Barry Ashbee. While Stackhouse would prefer to play a positional game and utilize his shot from the point, Ashbee will be a physical contributor while shutting down his side of the ice and covering for Stackhouse when he feels the urge to rush. Stack gives the Scouts another good, low shot from the point to add to our powerplay and Ashbee gives us a similar player to Plager in that he brings all the characteristics you look for in a defensive d-man, namely heart, leadership, shotblocking, smarts and physical toughness. Ashbee can also contribute on the penalty kill.

He was known as Scarface or Terrible Ted. The scars on his rugged face represented his courage in his many on ice battles. How many scars he can't tell you, because he lost count after 400 stitches. The nickname "Terrible" only referred to his reputation, because his play was magnificent.

Nighbor was an outstanding two way player, a former Hart trophy winner as MVP and Lady Byng's favorite player. Lady Byng was the wife of Canada's Governor General, the Queen's representative in Canada. Ms. Byng was so impressed with Nighbor's clean play and sportsmanship she had the trophy for cleanest player made. Not surprisingly Nighbor won it in the trophy's first two years.

Brent wasn't any different from his five brothers. He possessed the same trademarks as all of them. To sum up the Sutter brothers there are a few words that immediately comes to mind. Persistence, heart, leadership, grinder, mucker, fighter, team-player and winner. Most of the qualities that any player needs comes to mind when we think of a Sutter.

NHL Second All-Star Team D 1988

McCrimmon really came into his own in Philadelphia, particularly when he assumed the spot along side highly skilled defenseman Mark Howe. The fierce competitor was never a star, but was a valuable member of the Flyers. He would take care of the defense and physically manhandling players in his own zone allowed Howe to take chances offensively and become one of the best (and most underrated) defenseman in history.

Conn Smythe Trophy 1920, 1921

Jack was a speedball with a great knack for goal scoring. His backhand was particularly lethal, often surprising goalies as that was a largely undeveloped tactic in those days. He also pioneered the "wrong wing" theory, as he was a left handed shot playing on the right side. Jack, one of the cleanest players of his era, had some fine years in the old NHA, scoring 124 goals (and 17 assists, which were rarely recorded) in 132 games.

A stellar two-way defenseman, Herb Gardiner didn't make a name for himself until relatively late in his career. He was proficient at the amateur level in western Canada before traveling east to play in the NHL. Gardiner was a rock on the defense corps of every team he played on, and he was also respected for his consistent play through each season.

#10 George Armstrong, RW

Played 21 NHL seasons from 1949 to 1971 "(Armstrong is) the best captain, as a captain, the Leafs have ever had." -Honoured Member Conn Smythe

George made the leafs in 52-53. Armstrong was a choppy skater who was rarely out of position; he knew how to play the angles on the opposing forwards and was a great corner man in the offensive zone. He never attained the scoring heights in the NHL as he had in his junior and senior days but Armstrong brought determination, leadership, and humour to a Leafs squad that was trying to escape the shadow of the team tragedy thats occured in the early 1950s.

Armstrong was named as captain of the Leafs to start the 1957-58 season and was called by Conn Smythe "the best captain, as a captain, the Leafs have ever had." Smythe later honoured his captain by naming one of his horses Big Chief Army, something Smythe had done on only two other occasions for Charlie Conacher and Jean Beliveau.

George oozed hockey sense, he had a freat work ethic, dogged determination and reasonable offensive skill level and was a very effective player.

Love his leadership, enthusiasm and locker room presence. He might have been the best leader left on the hf board.

A prototypical defensive defenceman, Baun's overtime goal in game six of the 1964 finals gave the Leafs a new life, and they beat the Wings in the final game, at home, 4-0 to win their third straight Stanley Cup. His overtime goal was scored on a fractured ankle. Earlier that game, Baun was taken off on a stretcher after being felled by a slapshot. He returned, ankle frozen and taped, to score what Sports Illustrated ranked as the 17th greatest sports moment in the 20th century. However to me what was even more amazing than coming back in that game as he was likely running on adrenalin at that point, was that two nights later he would play Game 7 and help the Leafs win the Cup without missing a shift

His philosophy was "You don't have to kill every forward coming down the ice, just slow them up a little." Few opposing players coming into the Leafs end of the rink ever came in with their heads down against Baun.Baun played a lot of minutes for a very long time, he could hit like Scott Stevens !! As for his fighting, he always showed up for the fight, he was fearless.

The only thing I could add was that Baun was one of the most courageous players the Leafs had in the 60's. For a time, Baun was the only player to stand up to John Ferguson. And, when Baun left the Leafs the first time, the Leafs' downhill slide started.

#14 Stu Barnes,LW/C

Drafted in 89 4th overall in the same draft clas as Mats Sundin, Bobby Holik and Adam Foote

Stu rarely gets caught out of position. He can deliver admirable two way performaces when the team is in need. A smart versitle forward with solid well rounded skills, relies on his quickness, anticpation and work habits.He is a well schooled penatly killer who is coveted for his abilities to kill penalties,puckhandling skills, while still using his above average finishing touch.

When he made the transition to the big league, first with Winnipeg, the team that originaly drafted him back in 1989 and then with Florida, his duties were suddenly a checker, filling a role by stopping the other team's best players. After a trade to Pittsburgh in 1996, Barnes, with the retirement of Mario Lemieux who has since returned to the Penguins, was given a chance to return to his offensive game, playing on a line with Jaromir Jagr. The one-time defensive specialist responded with a 30 season, reminding hockey fans in Alberta of the time when everybody was talking about the kid from Spruce Grove.

#18 Garth Boesch,D

The Leafs became the first team in history to win the Cup three times in a row. The Leafs became hockey's first dynasty.Garth Boesch one of the best defensive prospects developed in all of Western Canada during the 1940's.

Boesch, who was unique in that he was the only NHLer to regularly wear a moustache during the 1940s, would play 4 years with the Leafs and was an important cog in Toronto's three consecutive championships.

Boesch was partnered defensively with Bill Barilko. The two became famous for the "Maginot Line Knee Drop," as both players would simultaneously drop to their knees to blow enemy shots.He was one of hockey's most underrated D-men in the history of the game.

Boesch played four seasons with Toronto and was a member of three Stanley Cup winning Leafs' teams in 1947, 1948 and 1949. Hockey players in the late 1940's didn't make much money. That and the fact that his dad passed on helped Garth to decide to take over the family farm thus retiring very early in what was a very promising career.

#12 Peter Bondra,RW

Peter was a premier sniper who possesed premier skating ability, with tremendous moves and excellant speed. With great hands and skills, he’s a threat to score anywhere from the blue line in. He was just one of the fastest players in league history. Bondra had size and would finish his checks as well as fight through traffic to get his chances. Bondra was adept at speeding down his wing or jutting through the center ice at the sametime knowing when to pass or to sharp shoot the puck past the enemys netminder. An ever-dangerous penalty killer, he scored a shorthanded goal almost half as often as the opposition scored on the power play. There is nobody in the league like Bondra. When Peter got hot he could melt the ice with his dynamic play.

#33 Al Iafrate,D

This gigantic mobile defenceman could skate like the wind, Al was a rugged d-man who could throw thunderous body checks when needed but his offensive game was the most important element of his play as he possessed copious amounts of raw skill which ere developed after a few seasons of apprenticing on the blue line with leaf great Borge Salming. It took him four years to settle into the NHL, but he once he matured, Iafrate made a solid impact as a big leaguer. His talents were equal to that of the best defenceman in the nhl. He could be a human high light wheel. "The wild thing" could lead the team to victory by taking over control of the game. He is perhaps most famous for his rocket slap shot that set the NHL Skills Competition record at 105.2 MPH. His booming shot would rival Al MacInnis' shot at All Star skills competitions.

Al had great offensive instincts and he was 6'3 220 at a time when the average player was 5'11" 185. Al 's size and style of play added up to one daring intimadation package for his opponets. He was just huge in all aspects of his life. He could throw the meanest body checks that would emobolize an stiffen his opponents while inlifitng his teammates game. He could give his on ice enemy a look that would strip paint of the nhl arena boards. He had suprising footspeed and there were not many players who would get in his way once he built up a head of steam and there were even less defenders who would try and block his 100 mile-an-hour-shot. His toughness and skills would be coveted by any nhl G.M. because Iafrate could deliver. He handled the puck well and adds a dimension to a team not many other players can. He had a cannon of a shot and the ability to carry the puck up the length of the rink and make magic happen on the ice.

"One of hockey's nicest people was a weird goalie to watch. Joseph guessed a lot, stayed deep in his net and handled the puck like it was a live grenade. Furthermore, he would have to turn his stick around to handle the puck and developed an "Alley Oop" of a breakout pass. Curtis was a workhorse with boundless durability.He fluctuated between stand-up and butterfly.Cujo had lightining-quick reflexes using his hands and legs equally well to stop the puck. His anticipation was peerless.He was adept at getting down low and following the puck throw screens and on deflections.Makes the key save in tight games, had good puckhandling ability and covered the angles well.When he gets into the zone his is virtually unbeatable because of his competitiveness fire that never burns out or gives up he just never believed he's beaten.

#9 Tedder Kennedy,C

While he was a choppey skater, he made up for it with his competitive zeal that would make him arguably the greatest leader in franchise history, and maybe in hockey history. He led by example, fearlessly battling some of hockey's all time greats. He could shoot and pass and stickhandle with the best of them, yet was a proud defensive player and he was known as one of the game's great faceoff men and an antagonistic forechecker, Kennedy had the ability to score the important goal, to make the right check at the right time - to do all the little things that win big games and championships, which his Toronto Maple Leafs did on a regular basis.

Kennedy grew up dreaming of playing for the Leafs and idolizing the great Charlie Conacher. Needless to say, Kennedy was ecstatic when his dream suddenly became true. But come game time he was totally focused, and always played every game at the highest level. For Kennedy every game was played with a level of desperation as if it were game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. Very few players in league history can have that said about them.

One of the all-time great face-off men, and a clutch goal scorer, he won the Hart Trophy in 1955, and twice led in playoff goal scoring. He was overpowering in the corners and relentless in all three zones.

game that he would vomit in between periods. Frank was discovered playing senior hockey in Calgary Alberta, his hometown, and was signed as a free agent by the Toronto Maple Leafs. McCOOL, nicknamed "Ulcers" because of his nervous condition, joined the Leafs and had a season to dream of. Playing every minute of the 50-game season, McCOOL led Toronto to a third place finish, and led the league in shutouts with four. He led the leafs to a Stanley cup and loss his job over a 500 dollar raise demand and because of the return of leaf great Turk Broda who was overseas in WWII. In 1945, Frank became the fourth National Hockey League goaltender to record four shutouts in one postseason, as he led the Maple Leafs to the Stanley Cup in his rookie season.That record stood till 2002 when Hasek broke it tallying 6 shutout and Brodeur equaled the domiantors record in 2003. He became the only goaltender to post three consecutive shutouts in the Stanley Cup finals since the NHL assumed total ownership of the silver chalice after the 1926 season.
The only other goalies with 3 straight postseason shutouts are Giguere, Ottawa's Patrick Lalime, St. Louis' Brent Johnson, and John Ross Roach of the 1929 New York Rangers.

Scott protected the fort with his usual uncompromising ferocity during the post season but also shows a offensive flair by opening up defenses with long probing strikes or he would strike using his venomous slapshoot.

Scott stevens is one of the most complete defenceman in the nhl. When the Devlis need a timely goal steven would power a shot from the left point. Although he lacked the speed of a Coffey Stevens moved from point "A" to "B" as well as one on the game. He is very strong and stable on his skates almost impossible to knock down. When Scott hits you other players will admit the pain last for days. Very physical and smart about it. Doesn't take penalties and is great infront of his own net. One of the games fiercest competitors Stevens handels all the toughest assignments and would set the physical tone utilizing crushing open-ice hits that motivates everyone in a new jersey sweater.

#13 Mats Sundin,C/RW

Captain Mats is one of the games biggest 1st line power forwards ever to have graced an nhl ice surfice. Sudden Sundin is a durable elite forward who has an excellent package of size strength and finese. He uses his reach to a degree that it is very hard to get the puck from him. Is extremely slick, loves to find the holes and has a wide variety of shots. Consistency is the name of his game.His shot is feared because of its accuracy.He is used in all game situations power play pently killing and is a great faceoffman especially when the game is on the line.

In his 18th season he is as dominant now as he was when he first came to the leafs some 14 seasons ago. Mats has never been flanked by top line talent on his line. He always centered past prime free agent gap players who were good enough to be propped up by Mats ability to make other players appear better then they were.

Mats has had a long sucessful career despite MSLE pursuit of the allmighty dollar instead of Stanley Cups but in the eyes of leaf fans Mats is a winner on and off the ice.

His shots were quick, hard, and accurate, his passes crisp and sharp, but soft and tape to tape. you can't ask for a better on ice performance.- Leaf Fan

#2 Ian Turnbull,D

Turnbull was Toronto's 1st rnd pick and the 15th overall draft choice in 1973.

Defenceman Ian Turnbull. Turnbull is the 3rd highest scoring defenseman in Leaf history, playing just over half of the games as the two before him. Turnbull, while known to have always played second fiddle to Salming, has the franchise and league record for goals in a game by a defenseman with 5, coming in a 9-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

Turnbull played a solid 9 seasons with the a contending 1970's Leafs team while racking up 414 points in 580 games, and has the franchise record for most points in a single season by a defenseman with 79 in the 1976-77 NHL season.

Ian Turnbull was a natural, rushing defenseman and puck-handler who knew what to do in the other guy's end of the rink. Turnbull was picked up by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1973 Amateur Draft. He and the stalwart Borje Salming were teamed together to form one of the more accomplished defensive pairings in the league

Became first player in NHL history to score five goals on five shots when he achieved feat on Feb. 2, 1977, vs. Detroit in Toronto.

Turnbull is best remembered for scoring goals, often in spectacular bunches.

#22 Rick Vaive,RW

Vaive was a gritty player who would fight quite a bit early in his career.
Vaive had a deadly shot and was one of the leagues top power forwards before the term was popular. His three 50 goal seasons are particularly impressive when you consider he never had a top playmaker as a linemate in Toronto. His one offensive weakness was that he would often shoot instead of passing to a teammate in a better scoring position. That's just the instinct of a natural goalscorer. Defensively, while never a Selke contender, Vaive was more defensively responsible than most 50 goal scorers of the 80s. His reputation as the hardest worker on the Leafs was well earned.

During a 3 yr period in the nhl only Bossy and Gretzky scored more goals then Ricky Vaive.

Interesting question: I wonder how differently Vaive's career would be judged if he had those exact same 50 goal seasons in the 80s as a member of the Islanders or Oilers instead of the hapless Leafs

#25 Peter Zezel,C

Zezel was extremely strong, especially his lower body. He was great along the boards as he was so hard to knock down. He was also an agile skater with great balance, and his background as a soccer player (he played with the Toronto Blizzard of the NASL and the North York Rockets of the CSL) gave him an extra advantage over most hockey players - great puck skills with his feet. In the corners and in faceoff scrums, Zezel would go in and use his strength and balance to tie up his opponent, and then kick the puck to an open teammate.

Though known best as a defensive oriented checking center, Zezel had some good offensive talents. He had a strong and accurate wrist shot and slap shot, but preferred to set up an open teammate than shoot the puck himself. He was very confident with the puck. His offensive totals were hindered by his commitment as the team's checking center, but twice Peter scored 72 points

An excellent faceoff man, Zezel was a crunch time player. Some questioned his inconsistent intensity, but he became a favorite of Mike Keenan, the most demanding coach of the day.

He will forever be remembered as a faceoff specialist,checker and a leader in the dressing room but he also added his share of timely goals using the soft hands and hard shot.

Zezel was a face off machine because he studied how an opponent would take their face off and try to exploit their weakness. He would also see the ref's pucking dropping mechanics and try and use this to his advatage and if that didnt work he would tie up the opposition players stick and kick the puck with his feet.
