We could write a bible about Bobby Orr, but for the sake of brevity, we will try to highlight this legend’s vast accomplishments.

Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame for his work in American and International Hockey, William Tutt helped to build the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs which would be the host of the first ever NCAA Hockey Championships. Tutt also helped organize the United States National Team and helped to organize the Soviet National Team’s visit to the States in 1959. He also brought the World Hockey Championships to Colorado Springs in 1962 and served a three year term as the President of the IIHF.

A longtime executive with the Montreal Canadians, Sam Pollock first rose to importance as the Director of Player Personell, and it was clear that his eye for talent had few equals. He would continue to rise up the ranks and in 1963 he took over the reins of the General Manger position when Frank J. Selke resigned. Pollock thrived in this new role, and it was hard to argue that he was not the shrewdest GM in the NHL as he constantly outwitted his rivals keeping his franchise loaded with talent. Under the fourteen years that Sam Pollock served as the Habs’ General Manager, they would win the Stanley Cup nine times. How can you keep that kind of resume out?

Marcel Pronovost was an excellent stay at home Defenceman who was a big part of the Detroit Red Wings multiple Stanley Cup wins in the early 50’s. He was known throughout the league for his rough style of play, delivering devastating hits to offensive attackers, and taking his own share of punishment for the benefit of the team. Pronovost would become a regular participant to the All Star Game (he played in 11) and for a four year stretch he was named to the post season All Star team. Later in his career, he was traded to Toronto and was part of what looked like an all “senior” line up that won the Cup for the Buds in 1967. He would remain in hockey becoming a scout (and a very good one) for the New Jersey Devils and be part of three Stanley Cups; long after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1978.
