Goal Judge Punching

Many coaches and general managers have exhorted their players to “fight team, fight.” Many have also taken themselves seriously. Few, however, have taken themselves literally.

Emile Francis did. He was the GM when the New York Rangers were leading the Detroit Red Wings, 2-1, at Madison Square Garden on 21st November 1965, and Norm Ullman scored a goal that tied the game midway in the third…

Picard Pizza

Robert Picard was a first round draft choice of the Washington Capitals in 1977 and signed a letter of intent with the NHL club the day of the draft. The talented defenceman also took some of his bonus money and immediately purchased a new car, the way many young hockey players did.

Then along came another agent who convinced Picard that his original agent had sold his talents too cheaply. The…

Flames Streaker

The mother of a would-be streaker who lay knocked out and naked on the ice during a Calgary Flames hockey game said she didn’t even realize it was him, even after seeing the TV highlights and newspaper photos.

But when Jackie Hurlbut’s son phoned her to explain, she said she was furious. “I’m embarrassed for all mothers all over the world. I can’t believe this is happening,” she said Wednesday…

Pacific Coast Hockey League

It wouldn’t be possible to operate the National Hockey League without retaining hundreds of players. But at one time a professional league flourished in Canada while employing a mere 24 players, or fewer men than each one of the NHL clubs employs today.

The league was the Pacific Coast Hockey League, organized in 1911. And some of the players in the league, when they weren’t performing in games,…

Kris Draper for $1

We all know Kris Draper as the center of Detroit’s famous “Grind Line” along with Darren McCarty, Kirk Maltby and sometimes Joe Kocur. Draper wasn’t drafted by the Red Wings, but he almost came to Hockeytown at an equally affordable price.

Draper played in only 20 games with the Jets in his first four seasons. With limited opportunities to crack the Winnipeg lineup, he was traded to Detroit in…

Shanahan Never Forgets

NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan told a funny story a few years ago on radio show about when he was a young player. Shanahan was a huge fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs growing up. He was skating at a rink in the summer of 1983 in Toronto and heard that Rick Vaive had been skating at an adjoining rink and was in the next locker room over.

Shanahan wandered in to the locker room and asked the…

Cagie Ken Doraty

A quick glance at Ken Doraty’s career stats will show you nothing remarkable from the journeyman winger. He only scored 15 goals in his NHL career, but three of them will keep “Cagie” Ken in the hockey record books forever.

Before there was a sudden death overtime in the NHL teams would play a 10-minute overtime period at the conclusion of a regulation tie. Doraty and his Toronto Maple Leafs…

1907 Montreal Wanderers

The Montreal Wanderers were originally an amateur Canadian hockey team that played in several leagues before joining the NHL in 1917. Prior to 1926 the Stanley Cup was competed for by teams outside of the NHL. As each league folded the NHL gained…
