208. Glen Wesley

Glen Wesley was a veteran of 20 years in the National Hockey League and with 1,457 Games Played is one of only a handful of players who tallied that many shifts and is not in the Hall of Fame.

224. Ulf Samuelsson

The possessor of one of the coolest Scandinavian names in sports history, Ulf Samuelsson played 1,080 Games in the National Hockey League who was known for his hard hits and defensive play.  Samuelsson may never have been an All-Star but he was one of the better blueliners in his day and he played many times internationally for Sweden.

173. Tomas Sandstrom

While there are many that can’t envision the idea of a Scandinavian power forward, that was an excellent way to describe what Sweden’s Tomas Sandstrom was. 

216. Eric Weinrich

A veteran of 1,157 Games in the National Hockey League, Eric Weinrich provided solid defense for a number of clubs and was also a constant on the U.S. National Team.  Weinrich was an above-average blueliner who brought steadiness to every team he played for.  While he was never flashy or considered an All Star, his long tenure in both the National Hockey League and internationally for the U.S. gives him a career worth celebrating, though more likely as a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
