24. Gary Dornhoefer
Like so many good hockey players in the Mid-60’s Gary Dornhoefer struggled to find a permanent spot in the National Hockey League. The Right Wing played 62 Games for the Boston Bruins from the 1963-64 to 1965-66 season but he was never called up in the season before the 1967 Expansion.
Chosen by the Flyers, Dornhoefer found a home for the next decade showcasing his skills as a hard-hitting grinder who could score when needed. Scoring a solid 518 Points as a Flyer, Dornhoefer was a large part of the teams’ back-to-back Stanley Cup wins in 1974 and 1975 and he was an All Star in both 1973 and 1977. In 1991, Dornhoefer entered the Flyers Hall of Fame.
