Two very different stories

I've added another two new biographies to the website today. Let's see if you can guess who they are:
  • Both players are Canadian
  • Both were considered to be amongst the greatest skaters of their generation.
  • Both players embraced the international game - one was a two time Canada Cup champion, the other an Olympic medalist.
  • Both are Hall of Famers - one in the Hockey Hall of Fame, one in the IIHF Hall of Fame.
One player scored 708 goals in the NHL. The other player never played a single game in the pros, choosing a successful career as a lawyer instead.

Here's your first look at Mike Gartner and Roger Bourbonnais. Gartner you've heard of, Bourbonnais I'm guessing you have not. But the story of Bourbonnais' hockey career is every bit as interesting as Gartner's as it is different.
