From Finland, Olli Jokinen had a long and healthy career in the National Hockey League where he played over 1,200 Games in the most important professional league in Hockey.  The Finnish star would have three straight seasons with the Florida Panthers where he scored 70 or more Points and he would finish with an even 750 Points over his professional career.  Jokinen represented Finland many times internationally where he would help his country win three medals in the Olympics.

While Jean-Sebastien Giguere only finished as high as fourth place in Vezina Trophy voting (2007-08) he will always be known for his playoff performances with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim/Mighty Ducks.  It was in the 2003 Playoffs where Giguere took the lower seed Mighty Ducks to the Stanley Cup Finals where they faced the juggernaut team of the Detroit Red Wings.  Giguere couldn’t take them to victory but he had a post season leading 1.62 Goals Against Average and .945 Save Percentage and was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.

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!
