Al Iafrate had the reputation of being one of the fastest skaters in the NHL, and the American blueliner with the famed skullet was not just a capable skater but was a decent scorer and hockey player. Iafrate played most of his games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but it was with the Washington Capitals where he had his best run.

In Washington, Iafrate had seasonal career highs in the 1992-93 season in Goals (25) and Points (66) while becoming a Second Team All-Star. Overall, he was a four-time NHL All-Star.
