Dennis Maruk: The Unforgettable Story of Hockey's Forgotten 60-Goal Man

From Feared Nhl Sniper To Ship Captain And Bellhop — With Hockey’s Greatest ’stache Only 20 Men In Nhl History Have Scored 60 Or More Goals In A Single Season: Gretzky, Lemieux, And Hull All Hit The Magical Mark. And So Did An Undersized, Take-no-prisoners Centre Named Dennis Maruk. When Maruk Found The Back Of The Net 60 Times In 1981–82, He Was The Toast Of Washington — He Even Dined With The President. A Few Short Years Later, He Was Out Of The Game. Maruk Not Only Left The Rink, His Life Did A Complete 180. Instead Of Flying Up The Ice And In On Goal, He Was Behind The Wheel Of A Service Ship In The Gulf Of Mexico. Instead Of Setting Up Teammates, He Was Setting Up Furniture For Goldie Hawn. He Was Never Sent Down To The Farm As A Rookie, But After The Game He Was A Farmhand For John Oates. And Instead Of Fighting In The Corners, Dennis Maruk Found Himself Fighting For His Life.
