Using algorithms, spreadsheets, statistics, and slide rules, I have determined the best ice hockey players ever. Kidding! I don’t even know what an algorithm is. However, I do know my hockey. So, relying solely on my deeply held opinions, I’ve come up with a very subjective list of the top 10 hockey players. Don’t agree with my picks? Well, you get...
My only coworker who follows hockey loves Alex Ovechkin. In fact, he once claimed that Ovechkin was “the world’s greatest human being.” I think he was kidding. But “Ovie” has proven himself a great hockey player. After making his National Hockey League (NHL) debut in 2005 with the Washington Capitals, Ovechkin frequently led the league in scoring, ...
Jacques Plante changed the face of hockey. Literally. The Montreal Canadien goalie is credited with popularizing face masks. In 1959 he was hit by a slap shot and needed 21 facial stitches. As the team’s only goalie, he had to return to the game after getting sewn up. However, he refused to take the ice unless he could wear a face mask. The rest is...
Did I grow up in Michigan? Yes. Am I biased? Definitely. But this is my list, and Steve Yzerman of the Detroit Red Wings is on it. He helped transform the Dead Wings into one of the game’s most-dominating teams, restoring Detroit as Hockeytown. As the longest-serving captain in NHL history, he brought three Stanley Cups (1997–98, 2002) to a city th...
Many people have called Terry Sawchuk the greatest goalie in hockey. During a 21-year career he won four Stanley Cups—three with the Red Wings (1952, 1954–55) and one with the Toronto Maple Leafs (1967)—and four Vezina Trophies (1952–53, 1955, 1965). He also registered 447 career wins, which included an unprecedented 103 shutouts, a record that sto...
Considered one of the game’s best centers, Jean Béliveau won 10 (yes, 10) Stanley Cups (1956–60, 1965–66, 1968–69, 1971) with the Montreal Canadiens. He scored a then record 507 career goals and was twice named the league’s MVP (1956, 1964). In fact, Béliveau was so awesome that he didn’t even have to wait the customary three years after retiring b...
“The Rocket” rewrote the record books. The right winger was the first player to score 500 goals and the first to light up the lamp 50 times in a single season. During his 18 years with the Montreal Canadiens, Maurice Richard won eight Stanley Cups (1944, 1946, 1953, 1956–60). He was also known for his aggressive play and hot temper. An idol among F...
Despite being 6 feet 4 inches (1.9 meters) tall, Mario Lemieux displayed great speed and agility. During his 17 years as a player with the Pittsburgh Penguins, he won two Stanley Cups (1991–92) and managed to score an impressive 690 career goals despite missing a number of seasons after being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. In 1997 “The Magnificen...
Bobby Orr is widely regarded as the game’s best defenseman—evidenced by his record-setting eight James Norris Memorial Trophy wins (1968–75). While with the Boston Bruins, he became the first defenseman to lead the NHL in scoring (1970), and he was named the league’s MVP three times (1970–72). He also won two Stanley Cups (1970, 1972).
With his finesse and speed, “The Great One” revolutionized the game. Wayne Gretzky shattered long-standing records, notably scoring an unprecedented 894 goals. He also earned four Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers (1984–85, 1987–88) and was named the NHL’s MVP nine (!) times (1980–87, 1989). After being traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988, ...

The player on the list with the shortest NHL career is goaltender Bill Durnan , who played for seven seasons – winning the Vezina Trophy and selected ...
29. Sept. 2017 · The final damage: Nine Hart Trophies, 10 scoring titles, 15 All-Star nods, two Conn Smythe Trophies, and four Stanley Cups. He is, quite simply, the greatest player who ever lived.
