Seattle
Hockey “By the Numbers”
It’s a fact that we sports fans love our statistics.
Not only do we like to pore over the stat sheets before and after games,
but the historical stuff too. Who
scored the most goals? Played in
the most games? Got the most
penalty minutes? These are the kind
of questions that fans want answered. Unfortunately
statistical records from the earliest days of hockey are difficult to compile,
and it would take hundreds of hours of research to figure out who were the top
players in Seattle hockey history. Fortunately,
you don’t have to spend those countless afternoons at the library… I’ve
done it for you! What follows is
the “All-Time Seattle Top 10” players in a number of categories.
The lists include players from every era, from 1915 through today, though
it should be noted that I’ve only included the highest level teams in the
city. Only stats from regular season games played in a Seattle
uniform are included.
