LEGENDARY GOALTENDER DOMINATES SEASON
Built like a fireplug, Forbes was picked by Wings fan club as "unsung hero."
Instructor in Little League baseball in the summer months.
Leo is considered one of the sensational finds of the past season. He likes to knock people back on their heels, and the way in which he has planted his elbows, arms and head in the midsection of Howe or Richard, proves it. He was a strong contender for the "Best rookie award".
A rugged winger, Real Lemieux chalked up 211 penalty minutes with Memphis of the Central League in 1966-67. Nicknamed "Frenchy," he once broke his wrist in a fight, but bragged: "I broke the other guy's nose, too." Originally, a product of the Detroit Red Wing organization.
Real was also a fine baseball catcher.

VINTAGE SPOTLIGHT
Captain of the North Stars since 1970, Ted is a real "team player". Not an especially high scorer, Ted is solid as a rock in front of the Minnesota goalmouth. He spent six successful seasons with the Montreal Canadiens before the North Stars acquired his services in 1970. One of the best fighters in the NHL.
Ted is an ardent fisherman during the off-season.
Past winner of Calder and Lady Byng trophies as top rookie and for clean, effective play. Camille is smallest player in NHL but also one of smartest. NHL total of 227 goals in ten years attests to that. Camille's weight ranges from 145 to 150 pounds.
Scrappy right winger, Leo's a big favorite in Hub even if his scoring has fallen off in recent years. Collected 24 goals five years ago, but lost the touch last two seasons. Tough man to fight off in the corners.
The only National Hockey League player born in Czechoslovakia, Stan has become one of the real superstars of the League. He does everything well, pass, set up plays, and stickhandle. Now starting his 16th season with the Black Hawks, Stan has won the scoring championship four times and played over 1,000 games for Chicago. Stan is also a top checker and a great face- off expert.
Stan won 4 NHL trophies in 1967-68.
Was the goalie for all eight of Washington's victories last season. Former rookie of year in Eastern League. Was second team All-Star choice in Central League for 1973-74 campaign. Was leading CHL playoff goalie in 1971-72 season.
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.
Mel broke right into the Philadelphia lineup without the benefit of minor league experience, and he became a regular without much trouble. He didn't miss a game last season.
Mel was the number one player chosen in the 1975 amateur draft.
MODERN ERA
The Buffalo Sabres were no match for Cirelli and the Tampa Bay Lightning as the two clubs met on Jan. 11, 2022. At 10:45 of the first period, the talented two-way forward potted his 10th goal of the season and it ultimately stood as the winner in the 6-1 road victory. He then set up Steven Stamkos for the Lightning's fifth goal at 14:04 of the middle frame.
Didn't miss a game for Wings last season, and was the team's third high scorer. Tough defensive player who runs hockey schools for youngsters in the summer.
Duane is the "veteran" of the Pittsburgh defensive corps, and one of the team's most consistent performers. For a defenseman, Duane's scoring totals have always been very high, adding to his overall value.
Duane is a sales-rep in the off-season.
80s-90s ERA
Jim, a former captain of the Toronto Marlboros of the OHA, is actively involved in charitable endeavors, working with Special Olympics and Uncles at Large. Enjoys cooking.
Peplinski scored 30 goals with 37 assists (67 points) for Flames in 1981-82.
Chris was Ottawa's first-round pick in the 1996 Entry Draft. In that same year, Phillips won the Bill Hunter Trophy, in 1999-2000, Chris had the third-period game-winner and an assist in a 4-3 comeback win over the Rangers on Nov. 10.
Durable and reliable, Ron has never played a game in the minor leagues, graduating right to the Maple Leafs from the amateur Toronto Marlboros. Ron is rapidly closing in on the 500 career point plateau. Ron is a strong skater with a sizzling shot. He is considered one of the top defensive players in the league.
Ron has missed the 20 goal plateau only once.
Doug topped all defensemen in soph NHL season last year with 11 goals. Missed winning rookie of year award in 1962-63 by two-tenths of a point, and Red Wing management was so miffed by the vote that Doug was handed $1,000 bonus.
Red Wings got Barkley from Chicago.
CLASSIC vs. MODERN
CLASSIC ERA
Bert is starting his 3rd year on the Detroit defense. Although he has assisted on 29 goals in the N.H.L., Bert has yet to score his first goal. A tall, rangy defenseman Bert is one of the hardest defensemen for opposing forwards to get by.
MODERN ERA
Johnny toiled in the minors until age 29 when the Saskatchewan native got his first break. He played the entire 1953-54 season with the Rangers and posted a handsome 2.60 goals against average but was replaced the following year by a youthful Gump Worsley, playing only five games. He remains with the Broadway Blueshirts as Worsley's stand-in but is only a telephone call away.
Pat is married, his wife's name is Charlene. His last amateur club was the London Knights of the OHA.
