Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Max Kaminsky was clever center, excelling defensively while showing promise for offensive upside. The memory of Kaminsky, who died May 5th, 1961, is perpetuated by the Max Kaminsky Memorial Trophy, awarded yearly to the OHL (formerly the OHA) most gentlemanly player who also displays a high standard of playing ability. In 1969 t...

Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. As a rookie Russ Blinco sure caught the eye of the National Hockey League. Blinco would continue to toil with the Maroons for three more seasons. The Maroons faced increasing financial difficulties as the Great Depression's grip held firm. Blinco would play just one season in Chicago before retiring. I want to know :). June 11, 2...

Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Friday, April 25, 2008. The man they called "The Big Train" is truly a Canadian sporting legend. Lionel Conacher is arguably "Canada's Greatest Athlete" and is often referred to as "Canada's Jim Thorpe". As an amateur wrestler, Conacher won the Ontario championship in the 125 pound weight class as a 16 year old in 1916. According to The Ring Magazine, he ...

Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Thursday, February 25, 2010. The name Paul Haynes does not really resonate in Montreal sporting history quite like Rocket Richard or Jean Beliveau or Guy Lafleur. But Paul Haynes, too, was a great Montreal athlete. He was a junior boxing champion and star quarterback at Loyola College. Haynes never really experienced success like that again, and mid-way into ...

Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Saturday, February 2, 2008. Coaches love a player who practices as hard as he plays. Herb Cain was an enthusiastic and gifted skater who fits the previous description. However his energetic approach almost killed him in one infamous practice in 1939. Cain was reportedly flying at about 20 miles per hour when he was clothes-lined by the rope. He quickly be...

Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Thursday, June 23, 2011. Harold "Twinkle" Starr was one tough workhorse of the NHL for most of the dirty thirties. In fact, King Clancy once told famous sports writer Jim Coleman he may have been the toughest of his time. Here's how Coleman retold the story in the January 18th, 1943 edition of the Toronto Telegram:. By 1929 he filled his winters playing in th...

Montreal Maroons Greatest Players: Vern Ayres

Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Vern Ayres is another player who should be included in the "hockey's wildest misfits" category. However, he was a slow skater, as his 6'2" 220lb body made him a plodder. Anyone with any skating ability could beat him without too much trouble with a good change of speed. Found this document of Donat Raymond. July 10, 2014 at 4:27 AM.

Montreal Maroons Greatest Players: Sprague Cleghorn

http://montrealmaroons.blogspot.com/2008/02/sprague-cleghorn.html

Greatest Hockey Legends Home. Freelance hockey journalist and the Hockey History Blogger! Why I created this website. Blog content © Joe Pelletier. Saturday, February 2, 2008. Sprague Cleghorn is one of the game's all time best defensemen, but also one of the most aggressive. Perhaps too aggressive. But his on ice greatness has been forever overshadowed by his on ice antics. He played the game with vigilante vigor. Cleghorn would go on to be the star and the early day Ottawa Senators. Teamed with nam...
