Martin James "Goal-a-Game" Barry was one of the most consistent and durable offensive stars of the 1930s. A smooth-skating center with exceptional playmaking vision, Barry spent the bulk of his prime with the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings. He was a cornerstone of Detroit’s back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 1936 and 1937, where he centered the team’s top scoring line between Herbie Lewis and Larry Aurie.
Known as much for his sportsmanship as his scoring, Barry became the first Red Wing to win the Lady Byng Trophy in 1937. Despite his nickname, he was a complete player who rarely missed a game, appearing in all but two regular-season contests over a ten-year span. After his NHL career, he became a major figure in the development of hockey in the Canadian Maritimes. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1965.

Martin "Marty" Walsh was one of the most prolific goal scorers of hockey’s "Challenge Cup" era. A center for the legendary Ottawa Senators (then known as the Silver Seven/Senators), Walsh was the offensive spearhead of a team that dominated the late 1900s. Known for his incredible strength and "bull-like" rushes to the net, he possessed a heavy shot and an uncanny ability to find open space in an era of extremely physical, seven-man hockey.
Walsh’s peak was spectacular but brief. In just five seasons with Ottawa, he helped the team capture three Stanley Cups. His most famous feat occurred during a 1911 challenge against Port Arthur, where he scored an astonishing 10 goals in a single game. Despite his dominance, he retired at the age of 28 to pursue a career as a mining engineer in the Canadian West. He was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
Walsh's Awards and Honors
- 3x Stanley Cup Champion (1909, 1910, 1911)
- 2x NHA Scoring Leader (1911, 1912)
- ECAHA Scoring Leader (1909)
- Record for most goals in a Stanley Cup game (10)
- Set a record that still stands by scoring 10 goals in a single game scoring the double-hat-trick in a 13–4 blowout

A cornerstone of the Chicago Black Hawks in the 1940s, Max centered the famous "Pony Line" alongside his brother Doug Bentley and Bill Mosienko, a trio renowned for their incredible speed. Bentley was a back-to-back scoring champion (1946, 1947) and won the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP in 1946.
In 1947, he was part of one of the most significant trades in hockey history, moving to the Toronto Maple Leafs for five players. In Toronto, his playmaking helped anchor a dynasty, as he secured three Stanley Cup championships. Despite his small frame, Bentley was a dominant force whose vision and agility made him one of the most dangerous players of the "Original Six" era. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966.
