While many can’t envision the idea of a Scandinavian power forward, that was an excellent way to describe what Sweden’s Tomas Sandstrom was. 

A veteran of 1,157 Games in the National Hockey League, Eric Weinrich provided solid defense for several clubs and was also a constant on the U.S. National Team.  Weinrich was an above-average blueliner who brought steadiness to every team he played for.  While he was never flashy or considered an All-Star, his long tenure in both the National Hockey League and internationally for the U.S. gives him a career worth celebrating, though more likely as a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

A member of the Boston Bruins for his entire 13-year career in the NHL, Jack Crawford was known for his hard-nosed play, which is why the Bruins never seriously considered dealing him.  Early in his playing days, he helped the Bruins win Stanley Cups in 1939 and 1941.  In the first of these years, he was the National Hockey League leader in Defensive Point Shares.  Later, Crawford would be named a Second Team All-Star (1943) and First Team All-Star (1946).  He retired with 178 Points over 548 Games, a good number for a Defenseman in those days. 

While Ted Harris was not a goal scorer by any means (he never had a 10 Goal Season), he provided rugged defense and a physical presence over his career.  Five times an All-Star, Harris would win five Stanley Cups over his career (four with Montreal and one with Philadelphia), and he was named to the Second Team All-Star roster in the 1968-69 season.  Notably, in the 1965-66 season (a campaign in which he recorded no Goals), he led the NHL in Plus/Minus.
