Hindmarch had solidified as a good middle 6 NHLer - 25 years old, never played again.

"The Hindmarch Rule."
Net moorings used to be pipes sticking out of the ice about 4 inches (I think). It was virtually impossible to dislodged them without actually lifting them up and out.
After that, magnetic moorings were used.
Hindmarch was a favourite of Badger Bob's. A really good two-way player. Just not long enough a career.
Went with Stajan for impact/longevity.
