August 3--Marcel Dionne

Marcel Dionne


Selected in first round
No. 2 overall by Detroit Red Wings in the 1971 NHL Draft.
A naturally gifted goal scorer and playmaker, center Marcel Dionne was one of the most productive offensive performers in NHL history. His consistency at such a high level earned him respect and accolades throughout the league. And Dionne's accomplishments would have been more widely recognized had he not spent the bulk of his career in the relative hockey obscurity of Los Angeles. Hockey was never a top sport in that city, and his yearly excellence was rarely seen on television in the larger markets of the east.

The popular and gregarious Dionne was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992.
Dionne currently resides in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and owns Marcel Dionne Enterprises.
