Marcel Dionne

Marcel Dionne is my kind of legend, the proof that size is overrated. At just 172 cm he played eighteen NHL seasons across Detroit, Los Angeles and New York, collecting the Art Ross Trophy and a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame. What catches my eye, though, are his two Lady Byng trophies, awarded for gentlemanly play. To pile up points while staying that disciplined is a rare blend of fire and grace. A small centre from Drummondville, Quebec who outlasted bigger men through intelligence and will, Dionne is the artisan athlete I will always root for over the pure phenom.
