[Kevin Hector]

He had some legendary fights. I remember him useing Craig Coxe of the Canucks as a punching bag. He fought everyone from Tie Domi,Stu Grimson,Mike Peluso,Basil Mcrae,Marty McSorely,Troy Crowder, Wendell Clark. I remember when some of the younger tough guys (at the time) came into the league ei Donald Brasher & George Larouqe they all wanted a shot at the Champ. just to make a name for themselves.RIP Bob.

The thing that made Probert different was he could actually play... The names above in Hectors post all were hack Hockey Players that could fight, save Wendell Clark who was a middle weight fighter.
