"I still remember the NHL rivalries. The Rangers and Bruins especially, but when the series was over, they just weren't the same. We were on different teams, but part of us were still teammates."

Brad Park
Team Canada # 5

Brad Park was one of the most valuable defensemen in the NHL hockey of all times. In a way, his performance in defense was overshadowed by the spectacular offensive talent of Bobby Orr. But, because of his outstanding consistency and steadiness, there is no doubt that Park belongs to the list of the best blueliners ever played hockey in the NHL. Regardless of the team roster he was on, Park was always a key figure on ice. His name was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
