148. Wilf Cude

In terms of interesting stories on this hockey list, few can match Wilf Cude.  The native of Wales holds the distinction of being the main Goaltender for the Philadelphia Quakers’ lone season in 1930/31 and was the “Spare” Goalie after.  That did not last long, as he later played for the Montreal Canadiens and was a two-time Second Team All-Star, which not many players can say.

228. Tom Anderson

Generally, we think hockey fans can name every Hart Trophy winner, as almost all of them have made the Hockey Hall of Fame, but we are expecting that most of you have totally forgotten about Tom Anderson.

264. Hec Kilrea

One of the fastest players of his day, Hec Kilrea began his career with the Ottawa Senators, where in the 1929/30 season he had a 58 Point season over a 44 Game campaign, which was good enough for fifth overall that year.  Kilrea won a Stanley Cup with the Senators in 1927 and was also a two-time winner with the Detroit Red Wings in 1936 and 1937.

117. Ed Litzenberger

Somehow, Ed Litzenberger has not been remembered for his accomplishments in hockey despite having a resume chock-full of accomplishments.  Traded from the loaded (or gifted, depending on your point of view) Montreal Canadiens in his rookie season, Litzenberger would win the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie.
