Hockey Daily Card Gazette
Remember... you heard it here first!
Starting his 3rd full season with Montreal, Claude combines speed with stick-handling finesse. While not a big goal-scorer, Claude is perhaps most effective in keeping the opposition off the scoreboard. A solid two-way Hockey player.
Terry is starting his 1th season in the NHL and has played all but two season with Detroit. He played for Boston in 1955-56 and 1956-57. Rated as one of the greatest goalies in modern hockey. Sawchuk was a member of the first All-Star Team on three occasions and was a member of the Second Team three times. He won the Vezina Trophy as "the goalkeeper who has played the most games for the team with the fewest goals scored against it" three times

Born Verdun, Que., Mar. 23, 1932. 5'10", 160. Shoots left. Don's a versatile forward who plays at all three positions and can kill penalties too. Rangers acquired him in summer swap with Montreal. He's smart and shifty.
What Left Wing Has Scored the Most Goals in a Season?

After a year's sabbatical, which he spent in the Islanders' front office, Bryan returned to the NHL as an active player in '93-94.

Bryon has also won the Calder, Art Ross, Hart and Conn Smythe Trophies.
A serious knee injury shelved the soft-spoken center last season, but Earl still managed 15 goals for the Pittsburgh Penguins. AHL observers still talk of his 65 points in 40 games pace with Cleveland in 1959-60, while the property of the New York Rangers.
Earl was traded from N.Y. to Montreal to N.Y. (on paper at least in one hour.)
Regarded by many experts as the greatest Hockey Player of all time, Gordie has averaged 69 Points per season in his 8 seasons in the N.H.L. During the past 4 seasons he led the League in Total Points and in 3 of these was the top Goal Scorer. Gordie came up to Detroit in 1946 after 1 year in the Minors. His greatest year was 1952-53 with 49 Goals and 46 Assists for 95 Points.
Catching The Puck is not allowed in Hockey. Only the goalie can close his hand on the puck. If any other player does, it calls for a penalty.
There may be no more entertaining player in the NHL than Bissonnette. Not because he scores highlightreel goals or makes sick passes. But because when he's on the ice, he's usually involved in the sweet science (he led Phoenix with seven fighting majors) then tweets about it to his 300,000 followers.
Pete is getting his second chance to "make it" in the N.H.L. Has spent part of last two seasons between Rochester of A.H.L. and the Leafs. A husky forward who is highly rated by the Leaf management as one of their up and coming younger players.
Blake, who went straight from Bowling Green State University to the NHL is a tough defenseman, with a wicked shot from the point. He was named the Kings' Most Outstanding Defense for the second consecutive season. Blake has improved in every facet of the game since joining the NHL. He registered five power play goals last season.
Kamil was originally drafted by Buffalo (272nd overall in 1997) after his first year in the Czech senior league, where he played on the CHZ Litinov squad.

Piros' first NHL point came on October 6, when he set up llya Kovalchuk's first NHL goal.

Rated as one of the league's best rushing defensemen, Morrison is noted for his accurate shots on goal and is considered a threat whenever he crosses an opponent's blueline. Morrison can miss an oncoming forward and still get back in front of the net to check him again. Is good on clearing loose pucks and can burst out of his own end like a jet.
Eddie Litzenberger of Chicago won the Calder Memorial Trophy last year.
1991 Score Update "Rookie And Traded" (Hockey)

2022 Upper Deck MVP Set (Hockey)
Atkinson's second goal of the game - and 17th of 2021-22 against the visiting Kings on Jan. 29 seemed to put the Flyers in a great spot to grab a win, up two goals with 11:54 remaining in regulation. After Los Angeles scored twice down the stretch to tie it up, Atkinson earned an assist on Scott Laughton's overtime winner for a 4-3 victory.
Mike was up with Leafs for 6 games last year but sent to Rochester for further development. Is given a good chance this year to land a starting spot and hopes to become the 3rd N.H.L.'er from Kirkland Lake currently playing in the N.H.L.
Coach Punch Imlach feels Peter Stemkowski is one of the real future greats in the N.H.L. "Stemer" is big and strong and a "two-way" hockey player. Played outstanding hockey in the Stanley Cup games.
Hailing from Nova Scotia, Parker is a crowd-pleasing type of player and showed flashes of potential power during his initial season in the big league. Was an outstanding junior with Marlboros and later sparkled with Pittsburgh, but confesses that the NHL is a tough league and has his hands full in keeping up with the game's top stars. A good skater, he has lots of speed, is also a good stickhandler.

Gerry rated as top goalie in minors as Toronto prospect, but exposed to draft last summer, Bruins promptly claimed him from Rochester.
What other goalie played full 72-game slate in AHL last season?
Never a spectacular scorer, Jim Roberts is the St. Louis "handyman." He can play forward or defense, and is a fine penalty killer. Jim is usually underrated, but he's a solid, industrious worker who seldom makes a mistake.
Jim is a hockey school instructor in the off-season!
Pavelaki scored his 350th career goal in epic fashion, achieving the milestone by netting a hat trick in a 5-3 win at Detroit on Feb. 24, 2019.

He recorded a career-best 3.38 goals-against average with two shutouts.

One of the many outstanding young players developed by the talent-rich Canadiens. Seven of his 21 goals last season proved to be game-winners, and he scored eight points in 17 Stanley Cup Playoff games. Chuck is a good playmaker and apparently needs only experience to become a star performer.
Chuck's brother Bryan plays for the N.Y. Islanders.
Although Bob boasts one of the hardest shots in the N.H.L., he isn't a big scorer. In fact, he didn't score a Goal in 55 games in the 1952-53 season, but is always on the ice when the Bruins are in a tight spot because of his defensive play. Bob joined the Bruins for 2 games in 1951 and spent the 1951-52 season with Hershey, where he had 6 Goals.
Skating Backwards a hockey player can cover as much as 50 yards in 6.5 seconds. The ability to go backwards is important as a defense move.
