Born Lac St. Jean, Que., Oct. 3, 1940. 6'1", 175. Shoots left. He started each of the last two seasons with Rangers, then wound up in minors. Tall, rangy and fast in deceptive way, he has potential for NHL stardom.

"Bucky" came to the Hawks at the start of this season for the $15,000 draft price. He was rated the Canadians' leading defense prospect but was unable to beat out more experienced men. With Chicago he is given a real chance to make the N.H.L. grade. Strong and aggressive, he played for the Montreal Royals of the Quebec Hockey League last season, his first pro year.
All Pucks used in N.H.L. Games are "iced" or frozen before each game. This makes the puck slide better and it doesn't...

VINTAGE SPOTLIGHT
Marcel is tough and aggressive despite his lack of size. He is one of the NHL's most deceptive centers, using a head fake to elude the opposition. He has tremendous speed, and gets great position in front of the net. As a rookie, Marcel set a record by scoring 77 points, the most ever by a first year player.
Marcel runs a hockey school in his hometown off-season.
3/1/97 - Osgood smothers 21 shots on goal while blanking the Rangers 3-0 to post his career-best sixth shutout of the season.
A hard shooter that plays a great stay-at-home game, Kovacevic got a brief look from the Jets in 2021-22 after putting up strong numbers with the AHL's Manitoba Moose. On March 12, he opened the scoring with his ninth tally of the season in the first period before setting up goals by Cole Maier and Mikey Eyssimont in the middle frame of a 6-1 road win over the Belleville Senators.
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.
RETRO CORNER
Excellent mobility for a big man, "Junior" played for Montreal, New York and Detroit before Bruins acquired him last summer in package deal with the Wings.
Born Winnipeg, Aug. 28, 1932. 6', 178. Shoots right. All-time New York leader as goal-getter and has more points in last 7 years than anybody else in NHL. Brilliant playmaker has turned golf pro in the off-season.
A scrappy wing, Leo led all NHL for- wards in penalties with 128 minutes. Hit own high mark in point scoring with 47. He likes to mix it up with "Bad Men" in loop.

Larry holds NHL playoff scoring record for defenseman.. 16 points in 1966.
MODERN ERA
Battaglia is a rough-and-rumble wingman who can take punishment as well dish it out. He took care of business in 1999-2000. One of his 16 goals helped the Canes blank the Flyers 2-0 at First Union Center in Philadelphia on Oct. 7, 1999.
Montreal's top offensive threat last season, Guy ranks as one of the top superstars in the entire National Hockey League. Eighteen of his goals last year came on the power play.
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.
80s-90s ERA
The game's all-time leading scorer completed his 13th NHL season by heading the league in assists and the Kings in scoring. Gretzky was third in the NHL in points in 1991-92 and won his second straight Lady Byng Trophy. He entered the 1992-93 season holding or sharing 58 league records.
