Steamer Maxwell

Feb 12, 2013
Published in 1962 Hockey Inductees
Although Steamer Maxwell (Another cool ass name in the early days of sports) never turned professional, it was not because he was not good enough. Fred “Steamer” Maxwell had the skills, but he chose to remain in the amateur ranks. With that said, did he have enough of career to justify his Hall Of Fame entry? We have looked up and down at his resume and we aren’t so sure. He did coach his amateur team to a Gold Medal in the 1920 Olympics, and that may have been the primary reason he got in.

Reg Noble

Reg Noble
One of the most consistent scorers of his day, Reg Noble may have never led the league in scoring, but was often in the hunt. Noble was also a tough player and a proven winner. On three occasions he raised the Stanley Cup over his head with three different teams. He may not have been the best player in his day, but up and down through the Halls history, you will find players who inducted with similar resumes.

Punch Broadbent

Feb 12, 2013
Published in 1962 Hockey Inductees
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.

James D. Norris

James D. Norris
The son of Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, James E. Norris, James D. Norris assisted in the running of the Detroit Red Wings which his father owned. The younger Norris looked to strike out on his own, and along with Arthur Wirtz, purchased the struggling Chicago Black Hawks. Over time, he helped to make the team a viable franchise and in the early 60’s Chicago was arguably the most talented team in the NHL.
