Along with his brother Jimmy, Joe Watson was a vital member of the Broad Street Bullies team in Philadelphia that would win back-to-back Stanley Cups in the mid 1970’s. Watson was known for possessing any special skill in the game of hockey other than being one of the hardest workers on the ice who would lead by example. The Flyers were rewarded with his hard work as he was a two time All Star with a respectable 216 Points in the NHL with each point earned the hard way!
