Punch Broadbent

Incredibly talented and double tough, Howard “Punch” Broadbent is a one of a select few who can claim to be the first true “Power Forward” of the game. Although he lost a few years due to military service in World War I, he came back with a vengeance helping the Ottawa Senators win three Stanley Cups. In the process, Punch Broadbent was the NHL’s leading scorer in the 1921-22 season. Although his playmaking skills diminished, his grit allowed him to still be productive late in his career. “Old Elbows” grinded his way to another Cup with the Montreal Maroons in 1926.
