Episode Details

July 20th isn’t just any day—it’s a hockey landmark packed with legends, retirements, and historic firsts. In 1953, the Rangers drafted Hall of Famer Johnny Bower, who’d go on to win four Cups with Toronto. In 2016, two-time Cup champ Brad Richards called it quits after a 1,000-point career. Back in 1972, the Islanders hired Phil Goyette as their first coach, while Quebec signed J.C. Tremblay and brought in Maurice Richard—yes, the Rocket—for a brief stint. In 1990, Bryan Trottier, a four-time Cup winner with New York, joined Pittsburgh for two more titles. Then in 1992, the Sharks broke ground by hiring Deborah Wright as their first female scout. And don’t forget the birthdays: Peter Forsberg and Pavel Datsyuk, both future Hall of Famers, were born on this day—adding to the legacy of July 20th in hockey history.
