  1. There where some exciting players on that team. Talking about some of the tough guys on that team. Well one of them I remember as a young fan kid was BOB CRAIG. He got pissed off at one game and challenged the opposing team players to a fight on the ice from there bench. Not one player left there bench I guess they knew better.Fun to watch. Another player on that team you wouldn't want to mess with was Wayne Dye as he had lightening fast fists and trust me he could hurt you. I remember watching Wayne in a fight and it was over before it started.Good memories at the Old Civic Arena to where you really felt like you where in the game with the fans.
