	Wendel Clark - Wendel Clark breathed in new life into the Leafs Nation when he arrived in the mid-1980s. He took on all of hockey's villains.

	Steve Durbano - The Hockey News proclaimed Steve Durbano as hockey's baddest man in 1998. He routinely found trouble - both on and of the ice.
	John Ferguson - Though he was far more than a simple goon, everyone remembers the physical exploits of this key Montreal Canadiens rugged winger.
	Reggie Fleming - An aggressive defensive forward with the Chicago Blackhawks, Reggie Fleming was nicknamed "Mr. Clean" but more for his resemblance to the cleaning product mascot than for his play on the ice.

Clark Gillies - "Jethro" was, literally and figuratively, a huge part of the New York Islanders Stanley Cup dynasty of the early 1980s.
