When you think of players who led the National Hockey League in Goals there is a pretty good chance that Blaine Stoughton is not one of the ones you think of.  He accomplished that with 56 Goals the 1979/80 season, which was the season that the New England Whalers became the Hartford Whalers and joined the NHL.  Prior to that, Stoughton played well in the WHA, though it was not at a level to make people think he could be a goal scoring champion in the best professional league in hockey.  He would again top 50 Goals in the 1981/82 season but his play deteriorated and he would be out of the game by the age of 30.
