Winning the Calder Trophy in the 1998-99 Season with the Colorado Avalanche, Chris Drury made history as the person to win that piece of hardware who had also won the Hobey Baker Award as the top hockey player in the NHL, which he won with Boston University the year before.  The native of Connecticut would never win another individual award but he would be a part of Colorado’s Stanley Cup win in 2001 and United States’ Silver Medal in the 2002 and 2012 Olympics.  Drury would also have five seasons later in his career (2005-06 to 2009-10 when he was with Buffalo and later the New York Rangers) where he would receive votes for the Frank J. Selke Award.  It was in that stretch where he had his best season (with Buffalo in 2006-07) where he had a career high 69 Points and also finished 13^th in Hart Trophy voting.  The Centre would finish with 615 Points over his career.

Along with his brother Jimmy, Joe Watson was a vital member of the Broad Street Bullies team in Philadelphia that would win back-to-back Stanley Cups in the mid 1970’s.  Watson was known for possessing any special skill in the game of hockey other than being one of the hardest workers on the ice who would lead by example.  The Flyers were rewarded with his hard work as he was a two time All Star with a respectable 216 Points in the NHL with each point earned the hard way!

Dave Christian is best known for being a member of the United States 1980 Olympic Gold Medal winning team but he was far more than just a member of the Miracle on Ice Team.  Christian was never a top five finisher in any major individual award but he was the recipient of Lady Byng Trophy and Frank J. Selke Award voting and he would have three 70 Point Seasons, two with the Winnipeg Jets and one with the Washington Capitals.  Christian scored 773 Points over his NHL career.

Barry Pederson was the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in 1982 when he had a 92-Point Season for the Boston Bruins. In the next two years, he had 107 and 116 Points, respectively, both of which earned him a trip to the All-Star Game. He was fifth and sixth in Points respectively in those years, which, considering the high-potent scoring that took place in the 1980s, was no small accomplishment.
