The Greatest Hockey Players of All Time: Then vs. Now

Marcel Dionne, nicknamed “Little Beaver,” entered the NHL in 1971 and quickly became one of the most prolific scorers in history. Though often overshadowed by bigger names, he was a model of consistency, putting up 1300+ points with the Detroit Red Wings and especially the Los Angeles Kings.

He was remembered for his speed, skill, and ability to rack up points in an era dominated by legends like Gretzky and Lafleur. Despite never winning a Stanley Cup, Dionne won the Art Ross Trophy in 1980 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players never to hoist the Cup.
