Team Slapshot needs to add some more nastiness and toughness to their lineup. We'll proudly select for our RW#3 the man with the golden elbows!

Harry "Punch" Broadbent

A multidimensional star, Harry "Punch" Broadbent was as talented as he was tough. He was an artist with the puck, at times scoring at will, but he also gained a notorious reputation for using his elbows to make a point. He could dance around or skate over an opponent as the situation demanded. Many considered Broadbent to be one of the first true power forwards of the game. And fame would likely have been far greater had he not lost three years in the prime of his career to military service during World War I.

Broadbent was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
