Team "Give Blood...play hockey" is proud to select another physical defenceman who will make playing in the corral a difficult proposition.
We select
Ken Reardon.
He only played in some 300 games, but made the hockey hall of fame with his fierce play. He may have played more games had he not played so fearlessly, or gone to serve in the war.
Recognized as one of the toughest players of his era, he also was awarded medals for bravery in WWII. Whether it was with hitting or fighting, opponents came to hate Reardon, a sure sign he was doing a great job.
