Vote for Major Dhyan Chand Singh 1) Major Dhyan Chand Singh

aka. hockey ka jaadugar(magician).... he was the one man team,the best ever in international hockey,the one who still represents hockey in india... Great cicketer sir don bradman once said that the frequent he scores boudaries,such is the rate this guy scores goals!

haimsley

Dual sport athlete. Beyond his Indian hockey exploits his lawn bowling records likely to be never matched.

greatest player ever to play the game.


Vote for Bobby Orr 2) Bobby Orr

a dominant force on offense and defense, did wayne or mario ever play that great D, NO, but Bobby played the best of both

He wasn’t just a great offensive defense man; he was a dominate defense man in both ends of the rink!

- the only defenseman to win the scoring title... twice
- the all-time leader in plus minus
- NHL single season record for plus/minus: 124 (he had 139 points that year... that means the opposing team only scored 15 goals all season when he was on the ice... that’s the most incredible stat in NHL history! )
- most times winning an award consecutively: 8 (Norris)
- only defenseman to record 100 assists in a season
- won an award Gretzky didn’t win: the Calder Trophy
- the best skater in NHL history
- the most important reason that he is the best hockey player of all time... he did all of this on one leg... in only 9 seasons in the NHL.

He is a great person, great mentor, and the greatest hockey player of all time. I’m glad he is Canadian.

Thank you Robert Gordon Orr.

"Number 4, Bobby Orr... he shoots, he scores! "

:-)


Vote for Wayne Gretzky 3) Wayne Gretzky

how is this man not number one he’s more than 100 points ahead in every stat.....

mowerssteve

duh he’s the best

Crazydudewithabeard

Best ever,I don’t feel I need to explain.Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe tied for second. I thought it was impossible to top these two until "The Great One" came along.


Vote for Mario Lemieux 4) Mario Lemieux

hes #1 by a long shot

I doubt the Great One could have done what Super Mario did with everything that he battled against, cancer and inconsistent playing time and unfinished seasons. Just b/c he has more stats doesn’t mean that he is a better player. Super Mario IS the greatest.

he is simply the best, but unlucky too...


Vote for Bobby Hull 5) Bobby Hull

You forgot to mention about Bobby Hull that the Golden Jet could skate at 29.7 miles per hour without the puck and 28.3 with puck on his stick. Who was ever faster the that?

If this is the player you rate 26, you know nothing about hockey!. Bobby Hull was the hardest shooter ever, best goal score ever, most exciting player ever, strongest player ever and scored 1018 goals in professional hockey, including 77 in 78 games in the 1975 season with th Winnepeg Jets at age 36. He belongs in the top five players of all time!

Led Chicago to the Stanley Cup in the early 60’s.


Vote for Gordie Howe 6) Gordie Howe

Vote for Sidney Crosby 8) Sidney Crosby

Crosby can beat 4 goals in one period

he his one of the top player already in the league and he is dominating

He’s already made history and he’s not even old enough to vote!


Vote for Steve Yzerman 9) Steve Yzerman

he belongs at 3 or 4... not 8... he’s the 2nd best player ever on the best team ever The Detroit Red Wings

Steve Yzerman is the best no question about it

Most complete player of his generation. Goes from scoring superstar to leagues best defensive forward. One of the best leaders in hockey doing anything it took to win, and all while missing his knees. Stavie Y greatest ever

Choices Not In The Top Ten

Vote for Maurice Richard 11) Maurice Richard

Maurice Richard was the greatest hockey player ever! HANDS DOWN! He overcame racism and still managed to kick ass! He wasn’t only a great hockey player but to this day is a hero to all french Canadiens

Maurice Richard not only was an excellent player, but he had to endure the racism against the French-Canadians. He continually played brilliantly (like many others may have) BUT he also had another task; not letting the others get to him. It was a difficult time. Trust me, Richard should win, hands down, #1.

Vote for Alexander Ovechkin 12) Alexander Ovechkin

Ovechkin is a beast, and doesn’t whine all the time like baby Crosby.

cobber218

Alex Ovechkin...AWESOME

Better than Crosby

Ovechkin #8 on the list

At least he shoots the puck unlike Sidney Crosby who passes it all the time and never shoots the puck. Ovechkin is so MUCH BETTER.

Vote for Mark Messier 13) Mark Messier
