Brad Park Hall of Fame NHL

Brad Park was one of the most complete defensemen in NHL history, known for his exceptional skating, vision, and two-way play. Playing for the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, and briefly the Detroit Red Wings from 1968 to 1985, Park was a consistent force on both offense and defense. He was an elite puck mover, an intelligent positional player, and a fierce competitor, earning seven selections to the NHL First All-Star Team.

Despite playing in the same era as Bobby Orr, Park established himself as a perennial Norris Trophy finalist, finishing second in the voting an unprecedented six times. His leadership and steady performance helped his teams to multiple playoff runs, and his ability to control the game from the blue line made him one of hockey’s most respected players. Park was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988.
