Description
Mike Bossy was more than just a pure goal scorer. He was a complete player with some of the most off-the-charts offensive skills and instincts in NHL history, and also a lifelong advocate against the kind of senseless violence in hockey that marked the era in which he played. Bossy was an outspoken opponent against the goons, thugs and hooligans whether he was a junior phenom, an NHL All Star or when there were actual threats on his life. In Pierre Turgeon, the Islanders had another star with stance against on-ice violence that also started when he was a young player and rankled many of his contemporaries. We’ll also look at the history of the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy and the very special lady that was its namesake.
