After a couple tip-offs from some secret folk, the Bawlf Blawkhawks would like to select one of the greatest all round athletes in Canadian history,
Lionel Conacher as our fifth (?)
defenseman.
Named Canada's top male athlete of the half-century in 1950, Lionel Conacher excelled in virtually every sport he took part in. Aptly named "the Big Train," the 6', 195-pound Conacher was a proficient NHL skater. He normally played left defense and was best known for his imposing physical presence, leadership skills and rock-solid play in his own zone.
