Phil Esposito played for 18 seasons National Hockey League for the Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers. Phil is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame for being a tremendous competitor, for winning the Stanley Cup twice with the Bruins, and for scoring 1590 points in 1282 regular season games. Phil Esposito was known for his superb leadership qualities, especially in the 1972 Summit Series when he stood up for the team in Vancouver in front of angry fans, which motivated the troops to win the final three games in the USSR. In 1969, he became the first NHL player to score 100 points in a season, far eclipsing the "century" mark with a record 126. He would fall a single point shy in 1970, then reached triple digits again the next five years running. Along the way, he captured the Art Ross Trophy as the top regular season scorer in 1969 and 1971 to 1974, and led the League in goals six straight seasons between 1969–70 and 1974–75. Esposito was named to the NHL's First All-Star team six consecutive times (from 1969 to 1974), and won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player in 1969 and 1974.
