Lindros also won a gold medal with Canada at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and gold at the 1991 IIHF World Junior Championship, when he had 17 points in seven games. Injuries limited Lindros to 760 NHL games; he scored 372 goals and 865 points for the Flyers, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars.

Makarov spent the first 11 seasons of his hockey career in Russia, winning eight World Championship gold medals, two Olympic gold medals and two World Junior Championship gold medals as part of the Red Army team. He was chosen by the Calgary Flames in the 12th round (No. 231) of the 1983 NHL Draft, made his NHL debut for Calgary in 1989, and won the Calder Trophy as the League's top rookie after scoring 24 goals and 86 points in 80 games.

Vachon was a goaltender from 1966-1982 for the Montreal Canadiens, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins. He won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens in 1968 and 1969.

"I was very lucky to play for the Montreal Canadiens at the start of my career," Vachon said. "My first shot on net was a breakaway by Gordie Howe. I stopped it and it kept me in the League for 16 more years."
