Brad Smith

Known as an ‘everyman’ hockey player, Brad Smith worked hard every game of his professional career.  Drafted by Vancouver in 1978, Motor City Smitty played a smattering of games for the Canucks before he was traded to the Atlanta Flames, whom he followed to Calgary.  He only lasted there for half of a season before moving on to the Detroit Red Wings.  Although he alternated between the Wings and their minor league team, he was a Windsor native and became a fan favourite.  After four sporadic seasons, he moved to Toronto where he retired in 1987.  He is now a pro scout for the Colorado Avalanche.  Chop-Chop!
