TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
CHARLIE HUDDY

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who specialized, on possibly the greatest team ever assembled in professional sports, in the most hard-working and uncelebrated role available on the roster: the stay-at-home defenseman, charged with keeping pucks out of his own net while Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri and Glenn Anderson skated their way into the Hall of Fame with their scoring exploits.

Today’s training inspiration: Charlie Huddy.

Huddy was no slouch himself when it came to the scoring game, putting 20 pucks in the net from the blueline in the 1982-83 season and earning a place as one of the best scoring defensemen that year. More importantly, however, he led the entire league in +/- with +62 (on the ice for 62 more even strength goals by his team than against his team).

This was one of the three consecutive seasons where he was +50 or better, and he would finish his career at +241, one of the all-time NHL leaders in the category.

In 1,017 games, Huddy scored 99 goals and 453 points, and was even better in the playoffs. In 1984-85, he had 20 points in his 18 playoff games, one of the league’s best playoff scorers – defenseman or forward.

In total, he had 85 points in 183 playoff games and won five Stanley Cups in a legendary seven-year-stretch with the Edmonton Oilers where he was one of the key pieces in the roster.

TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
ANDY MOOG

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who, along with Glenn Resch, is widely regarded as one of the two greatest backup goaltenders to ever skate on NHL ice.

Excelling in a role that required the ultimate team player mindset, Andy Moog would backstop the Edmonton Oilers to record seasons during the 1980s, splitting the season down the middle with Grant Fuhr. Come playoff time, however, the glory would go to Fuhr and Moog would usually be sitting on the bench.

Like Resch, however, Moog carved out a reputation for excellence and the day came when he was sought after as one of the league’s top starting goalies. The Boston Bruins traded for Moog in 1987 and they were quickly rewarded. In his first season with the Bruins, Moog led the team to the Stanley Cup Finals. He did the same again two years later.

Moog played in 713 games (21st all-time) over 18 seasons, earning 372 victories (14th all-time) against only 209 losses and 88 ties. He had eleven seasons with 20 wins or more, including 37 in 1992-93, his final year with the Bruins.

To go with his two finals appearances in Boston, he won three Stanley Cups with the Oilers and posted a stellar 68-57 record in 132 career playoff games.
