Hockey Codes

Johnny Bucyk (born 12 May 1935), nicknamed the Chief, is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger and a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. He played most of his National Hockey League career with the Boston Bruins and has stayed with the organization in one role or another since the late 1950s, as a commentator, a director and now a team ambassador. Known for devastating hip checks yet a notably clean player, he won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for sportsmanship in 1971 and 1974, scored twenty goals or more in sixteen seasons, and retired as the fourth leading point scorer of all time. He was the senior alternate captain of the Bruins when they won the Stanley Cup in 1970 and 1972, and in 2017 he was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players.
