252. Blaine Stoughton

When you think of players who led the National Hockey League in Goals, there is a pretty good chance that Blaine Stoughton is not one of the ones you think of.  He accomplished that with 56 Goals the 1979/80 season, which was the season that the New England Whalers became the Hartford Whalers and joined the NHL.  Prior to that, Stoughton played well in the WHA, though it was not at a level to make people think he could be a goal-scoring champion in the best professional league in hockey.  He would again top 50 Goals in the 1981/82 season, but his play deteriorated, and he would be out of the game by the age of 30.

262. Paul Reinhart

Paul Reinhart played nearly his entire professional career with the Flames (Atlanta/Calgary), and, as such, he did not achieve much notoriety because of the team he played for at the time.  Still, the native of Kitchener, Ontario had a career Points per Game near .90 (0.86), which, regardless of the era and circumstances, is pretty good.

164. Cy Wentworth

Marvin “Cyclone” Wentworth was known for being a steady rock on the defensive corps, rarely missing games and even more rarely being penalized.  Wentworth began his career with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he was eventually named the team captain. However, he was traded to the Montreal Maroons, where he achieved greater success, helping them win the 1935 Stanley Cup.  He was named a Second Team All-Star that year.  In that Cup win, Wentworth, who was not much of a scorer, actually had the most Points in the playoffs with 5.  He would also have two Short-Handed Goals the following season, which was league-leading.

296. Geoff Sanderson

From the Northwest Territories, Geoff Sanderson played 1,104 Games in the National Hockey League while being named an All-Star twice.  The Left Winger would never play for any serious Stanley Cup contender but he recorded 700 Points as a professional.  Sanderson would represent Canada in two World Hockey Championship wins (1994 & 1997), and he was also a Memorial Cup winner in 1989 with the Swift Current Broncos.
