1962-63 NHL Season Preview
Top Player
Pierre Pilote will be sitting out the first few months of the season after fracturing his skull in a car accident, so the top player, entering the season, healthy, is 22 year old
Stan Mikita, who edged out
Jean Beliveau, Dave Keon, Frank Mahovlich and
Gordie Howe.
Top Goalie
Glenn Hall continues to be rated as the top goalie, but this golden age of goalies is drawing to a close.
Hall, Sawchuk, Plante, Bower, and
Worsley are all in their 30’s. A new generation is just around the corner.
