Points or PIMS

George Parros is an American born retired NHL hockey player. George is a very unique player. He was drafted to the Los Angeles Kings in 1999. He then spent 4 years at Princeton University putting up decent point totals and looked like he could have a shot at playing pro. After he finished University, he spent 3 years in the minors where he completely changed as a hockey player. After playing 133 games in the AHL, he only totalled 32 points but an astonishing 380 penalty minutes. I guess George decided the only way he was going to crack the pro roster was being a gritty fighter. His theory came true as he then spend 10 years in the NHL, often moving around the league trying to find a name for himself. The goon ended his career with 474 games played and 1092 penalty minutes. Every time he would fight, his greasy hair would fly in the air. I personally feel his hair made him so intimidating. He ended his career with a scary fight against Leafs forward Colton Orr, who knocked George out cold. He was out for most of the season, but made a few more appearances before retiring. A very interesting life story for the well known fighter.

Alfredsson's Locks

Daniel Alfredsson is a retired NHL and SEL hockey star who spent more of his career with the Ottawa Senators in the NHL. After playing 3 years in the SEL, the Swedish born star was drafted by the the Senators in the 6th round, which doesn't promise a very long or exceptional career for most hockey players. He proved everyone wrong by then playing 9 consecutive years in the NHL with the Sens. After the 03-04 season (9th consecutive season), he went back to the SEL for a year but was back with the Sens the year after that and put up an exceptional 103 points in 77 games. This turned out to be his best hockey season in his career. He spent another 8 seasons with Ottawa before being traded to the Wings for his final season before retiring. After summing up Daniels long and eye opening career, I'd like to touch on something that is probably look on by most people. Dan's hair is something special, just like his career. Every warmup, we would have the treat of seeing his hair 'blow in the wind' as he flies around the rink with his helmet off. Although his hair wouldn't be described as a mullet, I feel with the career he had and the hair he has, it was necessary.
