Esposito helped lead the Bruins to two Stanley Cup Championships (1970 and 1972) and Team Canada to victory in the 1972 Summit Series. A 10-time All-Star, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984 and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1989. The Bruins retired his No. 7 jersey in 1987. Guy Lafleur — played for the Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers and Quebec Nordiques over a 17-season NHL career. He reached a milestone 1,000 points in just 720 games, faster than any other NHL player before him. He won five Stanley Cup Championships with the Canadiens and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1996. The Canadiens retired his No. 10 in 1985. Darryl Sittler — played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings over his 15-season NHL career. He became the first Leaf to score 100 points in a season and also made history by scoring 10 points in a game against the Bruins on Feb. 7, 1976, an NHL record that still stands. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1989. The Leafs honoured his No. 27 jersey on Feb. 8, 2003, 27 years plus a day after his historic scoring feat against the Bruins. Mark Messier — played 25 seasons in the NHL for the Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers and Vancouver Canucks. One of the game's highest scorers, ranking second among all-time points leaders with 1,887, holds the record for most NHL games played, including playoffs – 1,992. He won five Stanley Cup Championships with the Oilers and another with the Rangers. A 15-time All-Star, Messier is the only player to captain two different franchises to Stanley Cup titles. The Rangers retired his No. 11 in 2006 and the Oilers in 2007. Messier was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007 and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2009. Steve Yzerman — a nine-time All-Star who played 22 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings. Named team captain at age 21, he became the longest-serving captain in the history of the NHL – 19 seasons. He led the Wings to three Stanley Cup Championships (1997, 1998, 2002). In 2007, his No. 19 was retired. He was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009. Sidney Crosby — has played his entire NHL career to date with the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Drafted first overall in 2005, at age 18, he became the youngest NHL player to notch more than 100 points. Named captain two years after entering the NHL, he was the youngest captain ever to win the Stanley Cup championship in 2009 at age 21. He won the Stanley Cup Championship a second time last spring. He is also a two- time Olympic gold medal winner (2010 and 2014) and captured gold with Team Canada at the 2015 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championship and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
