Shayne Corson was a highly regarded player wherever he went.  Corson may never have been an elite scorer, but the veteran of 1,156 Games accumulated 693 Points over his career, and he was a team captain twice.  Corson was considered a gritty leader who played predominantly for the Montreal Canadiens but also had good years for Edmonton and Toronto.  The three-time All-Star also played for Team Canada in the 1991 Canada Cup (where he had 5 Assists in the tournament win) and the 1998 Olympics.

When you have a nickname of “Old Hardrock,” you get an idea of just what type of Defenseman Gus Mortson was.  From Northern Ontario, he was paired with another youngster, Jim Thomson, and they would become the ”Gold Dust Twins”. 

Glen Harmon played all nine of his NHL seasons with the Montreal Canadiens where he assisted the Habs in winning the Stanley Cup in 1944 and 1946.  Harmon was a very efficient player who was twice named a Second Team All-Star, but in terms of a modern look, he more importantly led the league in Defensive Point Shares (1946 & 1949).  With all due respect to the fans of Montreal, arguably the best fanbase in the league, his legacy in Montreal is not as strong as it should be.

Known for his seriousness, discipline, and overall toughness, Bobby Holik came from Czechoslovakia to the National Hockey League, where, after two seasons with the Hartford Whalers, he found a real home with the New Jersey Devils.  Holik would play for the Devils for 10 straight seasons, scoring 463 Points over that period, including three consecutive 60 Point campaigns from 1996-97 to 1998-99.  In that later season (98-99), Holik started a streak of five straight seasons earning votes for the Frank J. Selke Trophy, a testament to his two-way ability.  With the New Jersey Devils, he helped the team win two Stanley Cups (1995 & 2000), and he was himself a two-time All-Star.
