Harold Lawton "Punch" Broadbent was a premier power forward of the early NHL era and a cornerstone of the Ottawa Senators dynasty. Standing 5'7" but weighing a solid 183 lbs, he earned the nickname "Old Elbows" for his rugged, physical style of play and his ability to fight through traffic to the net. Broadbent was a rare combination of brute strength and elite finishing ability, making him one of the most feared wingers of the 1920s.
Upon his return from Canadian Artillery, he rejoined the Senators and helped lead them to three Stanley Cup titles. He later moved to the Montreal Maroons, where he captained the team and won his fourth Stanley Cup in 1926. Broadbent’s most enduring legacy is a record-breaking goal-scoring streak that has stood for over a century. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
Broadbent's Awards and Honors
- 4x Stanley Cup Champion (1920,1921,1923,1926)
- NHL Scoring Leader (1921–1922)
- NHL Record Holder: Longest goal-scoring streak (16 consecutive games)
- Military Medal recipient (WWI)
