Tom Martin was a journey man, playing the majority of his professional hockey career in the AHL; he won the Calder Cup in 1985 with the Sherbrooke Canadiens and was a First Team AHL All-Star in 1988. But “Bussey” is most famous for how he got his nickname; in 1983 the Seattle Breakers traded him to the Victoria Cougars in exchange for the Cougars’ used team bus. To be fair, Seattle was legitimately looking for a new team bus, and Victoria had an extra one. Also, Victoria gained a hometown boy, so really all parties involved won, and as a bonus Martin gained a cool nickname.
