• Gritty, aggressive forward Martin Lapointe plays professional hockey for the Ottawa Senators in the National Hockey League.

He split the next three seasons between playing for the Red Wings and their American Hockey League affiliate before becoming a regular on the Detroit roster for the 1995-1996 season.
