29. Carl Brewer

If ever there was a hockey player who marched to his own tune, it would have to be Carl Brewer. A brilliant stay at home defenseman, Brewer would literally do whatever it took to stop any attacker. He was also the victim of rash decision making as his uncontrollable intensity often cost his team costly penalties. Brewer also left the game on multiple occasions (even during the peak of his career) due to off ice disagreements with other players, coaches, or management. Had Brewer stayed in the NHL consistently, his hockey accomplishment would be unquestionably larger but as such he will go down in history far more for his off ice activities than on.
