The Canadian Skater Who Left a Golden Mark on Hockey History
Woodrow Wilson Clarence Dumart, better known as "Woody," wasn't just a hockey player; he was a symbol of Boston Bruins glory, an offensive dynamo, and a legend of the early NHL. His career left an indelible mark on the sport, showcasing raw talent, defensive prowess, and the unwavering spirit of a true champion.
Early Days and Boston Beginnings:
Born in Kitchener, Ontario, in 1916, Dumart's talent blossomed early. He joined the Boston Bruins in 1935, forming a legendary line with Milt Schmidt and Art Jackson, dubbed the "Kraut Line" after their German-Canadian heritage. This potent trio terrorized defenses, leading the Bruins to two Stanley Cup victories in 1939 and 1941.
A Scoring Machine and Unconventional Style:
Known for his powerful slapshot and knack for finding the net, Dumart amassed 211 goals and 218 assists in 774 games across 16 seasons. While his aggressive, slashing style drew controversy, his effectiveness was undeniable. He finished as the NHL's leading scorer five times, a testament to his offensive prowess.
