Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Let's talk about legacy, folks. With the recent retirement of Johnny Gaudreau's jersey by the Dubuque Fighting Saints, it’s clear that his impact on the game goes beyond just stats and highlights. He was a player who embodied the spirit of hockey, and now we have the Gaudreau Award to honor that legacy.

So here’s the question: What do you think truly defines a player's legacy in hockey? Is it the championships, the individual accolades, or how they inspire the next generation? And while we're at it, how do you feel about the way the league and teams honor players posthumously? Does it do justice to their contributions, or is it just a PR move? Let’s hear your thoughts!
