Dan Girardi spent most of his career with the New York Rangers, where the undrafted Ontarian played eleven seasons.  A gifted puck handler, Girardi was a strong two-way player who rarely drew penalties.  Girardi would have seven 20 Point seasons for the Blueshirts and was an All-Star in 2012.  The Defenseman would play two final seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning and retired with 264 Points.

As a rookie in 2005-06, Cam Ward backed up Martin Gerber.  The Hurricanes made the playoffs, and Gerber struggled, prompting Ward to take over between the pipes.  He proceeded to go on the greatest run of his life, where he won 15 Games with a 2.14 GAA.  Carolina won the Stanley Cup, and Ward would win the Conn Smythe Trophy as the best player in the post-season.

Brooks Orpik played college hockey at Boston College, where he would lead the Eagles to an NCAA Championship in 2001.  Orpik was drafted the year before by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the 18^th Overall Pick, and late in 2002-03, he was a fixture on the main roster.

Mike Cammalleri stood at only 5’ 9”, but time after time, he would be described as a player who on the ice acted like he was 6’ 4”.
