One of the best and most resected power forwards in his era, Jarome Iginla emerged as a physical presence and a very consistent scorer. Currently, Iginla holds the record for the most Goals and Points in Calgary Flames history and has led the NHL in Goals twice and Points once. With three First Team All-Star selections under his belt, and the 1,000 Point plateau hit, Iginla has a resume that should get him inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.  It also needs to be discussed that Iginla won the Gold Medal with Canada at the World Hockey Championship, the World Cup and the Olympics twice.  Pretty impressive wouldn't you say?

Daniel Briere was another one of those undersized skilled forwards who had to rely on the non-physical part of the game of hockey.  Luckily he was pretty good at it!

Playing only for the Montreal Canadians during his NHL career, Andrei Markov has proven to be a dependable defenseman showcasing ample skill on both sides of the ice. Markov was selected to play in the NHL All Star Game twice in his career.

From the Czech Republic it could be argued that Vaclav “Vinny” Prospal did not live up to the potential that many hockey writers thought he would reach.  He wasn’t the most consistent player in his professional career, but this was still a player who was intense and found a role as a bit of agitator, that is when he wasn’t playmaking.
