Marvin “Cyclone” Wentworth was known for being a steady rock on the defensive corps, rarely missing games and even more rarely being penalized. Wentworth began his career with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he was eventually named the team captain. However, he was traded to the Montreal Maroons, where he achieved greater success, helping them win the 1935 Stanley Cup. He was named a Second Team All-Star that year. In that Cup win, Wentworth, who was not much of a scorer, actually had the most Points in the playoffs with 5. He would also have two Short-Handed Goals the following season, which was league-leading.
