While he was in the shadow (and actually played in it) of his big brother, “The Big M” Frank Mahovolich, Pete Mahovolich was quite the player in his own right.

A popular player with fans and teammates alike, Pete’s best years were with the Montreal Canadiens in the 1970s.  He would twice be an All-Star, twice go over 100 Points, and would help the Habs win the Stanley Cup four times.  It is also important to note that the “Little M” was also a member of Team Canada’s 1972 Summit Series win.
