43. Brian Propp

In 1999 Master Card named the all Canadian Junior Hockey Team. This team featured current Hall of Famers, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Guy LaFleur, Denis Potvin, Bobby Orr, and Bernie Parent. It also featured Saskatchewan native Brian Propp who lit up the lights for the Brandon Wheat Kings. Propp’s first NHL season saw him on a line with Bobby Clarke and Reggie Leach. He held his own and for the next ten years, he was a consistent offensive threat on Broad Street.

Although Brian Propp scored over 90 points four times and was a brilliant penalty killer, he was tainted in that he was not nearly as proficient as he was as a Junior and though he went to five Stanley Cups he failed to get that elusive ring. Despite a career that netted over 1,000 NHL points, Brian Propp may be remembered for what he did not accomplish as opposed to what he did.
