Stan Smyl

Stan Smyl was all franchise. Starting his career in 1978 with the Vancouver Canucks he played every season with the team until his eventual retirement in 1991. His number 12 along with Trevor Linden's 16 are the only numbers retired in Vancouver. What I love about Stan is his intensity, leadership and drive to win. I remember watching a video about Stan and being completely blown away. I wish as a kid I could've watched more of his games.

Trevor Linden. Drafted second overall by the Vancouver Canucks in 1988. Nicknamed Captain Canuck and showed dedication and leadership season after season with Vancouver. In 1997 he was traded to the New York Islanders as I remember being in Vancouver and watching his comeback game against the Canucks on Pay-Per-View. He also played for very brief stints with the Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens before coming back to Vancouver to end his career. Amazing, amazing dude who devotes alot of his time to charity.

Norm Ullman was a rookie with the Detroit Red Wings 54 years ago. One of the greatest players ever to never win a Stanley Cup. He ended up playing for Toronto around the end of his NHL career and the Edmonton Oilers for the end of his hockey career overall in the WHA. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982 and also the first famous guy I ever met in my life when I was 8 years old.

Guy LaFleur. What more needs to be said? This Hall of Famer played for the Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers and Quebec Nordiques over 17 years. He has five Stanley Cup rings, three Art Ross tropies and two Hart trophies. What I find facinating about Guy is that in 1981 he threw his Cadillac up on a fence and nearly got decapitated by a post which ripped off some of his ear. Amazing.

Ed Jovanovski started his NHL career with the Florida Panthers before being traded to the Vancouver Canucks and he eventually ended up in Phoenix as part of the Coyotes. A solid defensemen and one of my childhood favourites.
