From the Province of Quebec, Alexandre Burrows went from undrafted to alternate captain, and aren’t the Vancouver Canucks happy they signed him.  Burrows is known for being a pesky agitator by most fans, but he actually has three 50 Point seasons and is often the most entertaining player on the ice.  Although he has never finished in the top ten, six times he received votes for the Frank J. Selke Trophy.

Pascal Dupuis was not drafted in the NHL, but he fought his way into the greatest professional hockey league in the world and had a sixteen year career. Dupuis played well on both ends of the ice and sporadically received voted for the Selke and Lady Byng Trophy.  He would lead the NHL in Plus Minus in the 2012-13 season and has a Stanley Cup ring with the Pittsburgh Penguins

Barret Jackman was your prototypical stay-at-home blueliner who served the St. Louis Blues very well over his career.  A natural leader, Jackman was never going to become a playmaker but he did battle through a lot of injuries to have a very good career in the National Hockey League.  Jackman would notably win the Calder Trophy in 2001-02.

Teddy Higuera arrived in Milwaukee in 1985 as a skilled left-hander from Mexico with a deceptive delivery and high-velocity pitches, quickly overwhelming American League lineups. His major league career was cut short by injuries, but he delivered a brilliant pitching run, one of the franchise's best.

Higuera wasted no time providing quality starts for the Brewers, finishing as the runner-up for the 1985 Rookie of the Year. Higuera demonstrated a high frequency of keeping hitters off-balance, recording 15 wins and a 3.90 ERA. He showed the organization he was a premier talent by following that debut with an even more impressive 1986 campaign, in which he earned an All-Star selection and became the first Mexican pitcher in history to record a 20-win season.

In 1986 and 1987, he was arguably the most efficient pitcher in the American League. In 1986, he led all AL pitchers in bWAR (9.4) and narrowly lost out on the Cy Young Award to Roger Clemens. He remained a professional mainstay in 1987, winning 18 games and recording 240 strikeouts, a figure that set a new franchise record at the time.

His 1988 season marked a peak as he led the American League with a 0.999 WHIP and posted elite numbers, striking out 192 batters with a 3.13 ERA. Despite heavy early workload, injuries from shoulder and back issues limited his availability. He endured multiple surgeries, battling back to the mound but couldn't recapture his initial dominance.

He was forced to retire after the 1994 season.  He had a career 94-64 record and 1,061 strikeouts. He proved that true greatness is found in the quality of the peak, a journey that earned him a spot on the Brewers Wall of Honor.
