- Andy Bathgate. Tough, clean player was matinee idol for Rangers in 1950s, '60s.
- Jean Beliveau. One of game's greatest ambassadors won Stanley Cup 17 times as player, executive with Canadiens.
- Wayne Gretzky – Edmonton Oilers – the Great One. The greatest point producer of the game. Here’s a look at Gretzky’s amazing stats
- Gordie Howe – Detroit Red Wings – He’s nicknamed Mr. Hockey for a reason. Scoring a “Gordie Howe” hat trick in any league is an honor. The man played in six decades are you kidding me?
- Bobby Orr – Boston Bruins – the greatest defenseman to ever play in the NHL. If you watch old tapes of Mr. Orr you can see why so many think that he was the greatest player of all-time.
- Mark Messier – Edmonton Oilers – perhaps the greatest leader in any sport? The Moose was my personal favorite player as a kid. He played a tough all around game and made space for himself in a league that had its share of “hooligans”.

James Bisson, National Sports EditorJoe Ross, Vice-President, ContentJosh Wegman, NHL News EditorSean O'Leary, NHL News EditorThe Oilersconstructed one of the greatest offensive juggernauts in NHL history - and everyone got in on the fun, including Coffey. A "defenseman" in name only, Coffey posted five 100-point campaigns and owns the single-season record for goals by a blue-liner (48). Add in eight All-Star berths, three Norris Trophies, and four Stanley Cups, and you h...
Harvey is the personification of the age-old sports rule, "Don't scout the stat line." Despite posting modest offensive numbers, Harvey was the greatest defender of his generation, winning seven Norris Trophies in a nine-year span and making the All-Star team in 11 straight seasons. He was also a six-time Stanley Cup champion, and finished in the t...
Sakic and Ron Francis enjoyed similar careers, but Sakic gets the edge thanks to his incredible 2000-01 campaign, in which he won the Hart, Pearson, and Lady Byng Trophies while racking up a career-best 118 points. He finished on the All-Star team three times and won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1996 after leading Colorado to its first-ever Stanley Cu...
Bourque might not be the greatest defenseman in history - or even the best one who played most of his career in Boston - but few players can match his credentials. Start with five Norris Trophies, four of which came in a dominant five-year span in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Add 19 All-Star nods - the last when he was 40 years old - and he's th...
Dionne will forever be the answer to the trivia question: "Who won the last scoring title before Wayne Gretzky took over?" It was the only Art Ross for Dionne, who had eight 100-point seasons, won two Lady Byngs, made four All-Star teams, and finished top five in Hart Trophy voting four times. The only blight on his record? Just 49 playoff games - ...
The Canadiensknew Roy had something special when he backstopped the team to a Stanley Cup title at age 21. Roy would go on to become one of the greatest netminders in history, winning three Vezina Trophies, five Jennings Trophies, and earning the Conn Smythe three times. He finished his career with four Cups, and was named to the All-Star team six ...
No NHL goaltender has experienced the thrill of victory more often than Brodeur, whose 691 regular-season wins might never be surpassed. Brodeur led the league in wins nine times altogether and was never more dominant than from 2002-08, during which he won four Vezina Trophies and was a top-five Hart finalist on four occasions.
It was said earlier in these rankings that joining an exclusive club with Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky is a truly legendary achievement - and Yzerman did just that in 1988-89, becoming the third player to record 155 points in a season. That was the highlight of a sensational career in which Yzerman won a Selke, a Conn Smythe, a Masterton, and th...
It's one thing for a defenseman to play at an elite level for 17 years - and Lidstrom did just that, winning seven Norris Trophies while being named to 12 All-Star teams. It's another thing altogether to do so without taking bad penalties; Lidstrom was an all-timer in that category, finishing top five in Lady Byng voting 11 times while averaging 26...
