ROOKIE SENSATION BREAKS RECORDS
Hanowski was second for St. Cloud State University with 17 goals in 2012-13 as the Huskies reached the NCAA Frozen Four.
Red played 1 season with Montreal in 1963-64, but was sent to Quebec City the next year. Montreal could not use Red full time so he was traded to New York where he should prove he belongs in the N.H.L.
Bobby is the NHL's glamor boy and continues to set records every season. Bobby possesses the league's hardest slap-shot, and is perhaps NHL's most colorful performer. In thirteen seasons he's been a First All-Star ten times.

Dick came to the Black Hawks this season from Montreal. He broke into the N.H.L. with Montreal during the 1951-52 season and was part of the N.H.L.'s highest scoring rookie front line. That year he scored 20 Goals and 17 Assists for 40 Points. The next season, he was credited with 11 Goals. Injuries were Dick's nemesis last season, causing him to miss better than half the games.

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
Pietrangelo logged his fourth three-point outing of the 2022-23 season when he dished out a pair of assists before scoring the game-winning goal in the final frame of Vegas' 5-4 victory over host Vancouver on Nov. 21.

VINTAGE SPOTLIGHT
Starting his 22nd year in the N.H.L., Gordie holds more records than any player in the N.H.L. He has dominated the N.H.L. for 20 years and it is doubtful if any player present or future will threaten the records he is compiling in the N.H.L. Has been an All-Star 18 times.
This 18-year NHL veteran is still rated as the hardest body-checker in the league. Long ago nicknamed "The Bouncer," Leo is one of the most popular players in the NHL. A rugged competitor, Leo is at his best if the opposition attempts to rough it up a bit.
"Whitey," as his teammates call him, has become one of the most popular Chicago players. He's like a quarterback with the puck and is extremely valuable on the power play, with a low, hard shot from the point. A very mobile desenseman.
Pat is an accomplished after-dinner speaker.
Toronto acquired Eddie from the Boston Bruins as part of a trade made late last season. He is starting his 12th season in the NHL, and has been a member of two Stanley Cup teams during his years with the Bruins. Ed is a standup type of goalie who plays the angles very well. He has played in over 400 NHL games.
Ed hopes to become a professional golfer some day.

A tall, rangy center, Jean Ratelle owns one of hockey's best wrist shots. He was a little late in blooming, but has paced the Rangers offensively the past two seasons. He's a golf pro in the off-season.
Starting his 12th year with Canadiens, Jean Guy was possibly overshadowed on defence by the great Doug Harvey, but since Doug left Jean Guy has proven he is a star in his own right. An effective penalty killer, Jean Guy is often used as a forward to "beef up" the offense.
Selected as a 19-year old in the 1980 NHL Draft, Steve won a regular spot with the Bruins after an outstanding training camp. Known primarily for his checking abilities, he often draws the assignment of shadowing opponents' leading scorers.
Steve's last amateur club was the Sorel Black Hawks of the QJHL in 1979-80.
MODERN ERA
Battaglia is a very capable checking forward who is starting to produce offensively for Carolina. Not surprisingly, he spent the majority of his time on the checking line last season with the Hurricanes, and was often found working hard to dig the puck out of corners. Battaglia will also crash the net with frequency, and has begun sending home loose rebounds. All in all, Carolina's left-winger plays a strong game and has shown the willingness to battle with anyone in the league.
In his first year in the NHL, Daniel (twin brother of Henrik) recorded 20 goals and ranked eighth among league rookies — and seventh on the Canucks - in total points.
Savvy is what Rod Seiling has got, and while he's not the flashy type, he gets the job done... and well. A former member of the Canadian Olympic team, Rod is a fine puck carrier and has been used at forward on occasion.
In 1967 Seiling was dealt from New York to St. Louis to New York in less than 1 hour!
80s-90s ERA
Looking for some help at center, the Sharks signed Jamie as a free agent prior to the start of 1993 training camp. Playing in his hometown of Ottawa last season, he notched 10 of his 19 goals on the power play and finished second on the team in scoring. "He's a creative player who sees the ice well and has good playmaking skills," said San Jose executive Chuck Grillo.
Five solid years with the AHL Buffalo Bisons finally earned Ed Van Impe a shot with the NHL Chicago Black Hawks. He impressed Philadelphia brass enough to grab him in the expansion draft. He's a real hard hitter and likes the going rough.
Shifty stickhandler won rookie honors two years ago after being spotted in Quebec playoffs.
On verge of calling it quits in hockey when Bruins discovered him in Quebec playoffs.
Tabbed as a red-hot prospect during his early days in the Toronto organization, Gerry Cheevers is far from being a "picture book goalie." But, he gets the job done, and done very well. He played for his present coach, Harry Sinden, at Oklahoma City.
Gerry is a horse racing buff in the off-season and may become a trainer.
CLASSIC vs. MODERN
CLASSIC ERA
Versatility must be Turner's middle name. He joined the Hawks last season, in a swap with Montreal for Fred Hilts, and served as spare defenseman, as penalty killer, and as extra forward. Dangerous while team was short a man.
MODERN ERA
Hanowski was second for St. Cloud State University with 17 goals in 2012-13 as the Huskies reached the NCAA Frozen Four.
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.
The Howe - Lindsay - Reibel line of Detroit set a new play-off record last year scoring 51 points.
