ALL-STAR MAKES HISTORY
Last five years with Bruins this sharpshooter has averaged 25 goals while missing total of three games. Slick, effortless skater, he has deceptive speed. Won Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 1959-60 for clean, effective play. Many a club has made overtures to Bruins for McKenney.
MacKinnon scored his 200th goal as Colorado earned a point in Arizona on March 23, 2021.
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".

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
Patience paid off for Bagnall, who put in four years worth of ice time with the AHL Manchester Monarchs before getting an up-close-and-personal look at an NHL rink. At one point, Bagnall looked NHL-bound as a King. Instead it happened with Minnesota, the team that signed him in the summer of 2010.

Vic and two other players are builing a golf course in Ontario!
Cesare was the first choice of the North Stars when the team was formed back in 1967-68. He's one of the tallest netminders in the league and makes extra good use of his size to keep pucks out of the net. Cesare has a scrambling type of style but is very effective. Formerly played for Toronto, Montreal and New York before arriving in Minnesota.
John is a great defensive player, probably the finest sweep checker in hockey today, and one of the best the NHL has ever seen. He's used mostly in penalty-killing roles and has proven invaluable to the club in that capacity. He's determined to stay in the NHL and can be counted on to give his best. Has worked in the lumber business and in an advertising agency.

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.

Ted is an ardent fisherman during the off-season.
The 97 points Mikita piled up in 1966-67 (35 goals, 62 assists) equaled teammate Bobby Hull's NHL single season record set the previous year. He retired with the third-highest career points total (1,467) in league history, behind only Gordie Howe and Phil Esposito.

He passes well to both sides, knows how to use the boards and is a good stickhandler. He's an exceptionally strong forechecker and backchecker.
Jim never seemed to reach his potential with the Maple Leafs, but when involved in a trade with Chicago that brought Pierre Pilote to the Leafs, he caught fire and had his best season. A strong skater and good checker, Jim has become a mainstay with the Black Hawks.
Cocky, aggressive Leo the Lion couldn't find his scoring touch last year, slumping from 18 goals to 7.
Few forwards throw as many body checks as scrawny-looking Leo.
A tremendous opportunist and known for his ability to be in the right place at the right time. This resulted in his scoring 33 goals last season to bring his total to 154 in six years in the NHL, an average of better than 25 per season. His great all-around play resulted in Sid winning the All-star left wing position, and the Lady Byng trophy for the second time in 4 years.
Up until 1908 the Stanley Cup was competed for by amateur clubs.
