Thousands of players lace up their skates for college hockey teams
across the nation, willing to do whatever it takes to help their
club win each and every game. Players overflowing with skill,
tenacity, and drive don’t come along that often, and only a
few of those that do are able to transcend the game and leave a
special—and lasting—mark on the sport.

such a list -- the single-year heroics of Paul Kariya and Brett
Hull come to mind. But nowadays, such a player would leave school,
more than likely, before four years are up.
So here are, among those players from decades ago, who you may no

college hockey, along with a brief description of why they deserve
to be on this list. The criteria includes their all-time stats, the
legacies they left, and most importantly, their teams’
success, because winning isn’t everything—it’s
the only thing.
