Wendel Clark was an 18-year old farm boy from tiny Kelvington, Saskatchewan when he was chosen first overall in 1985 by a Toronto Maple Leaf’s team starving for success. In Wendell they got it all: a deft touch with the puck, fearlessness checking, and a willingness to drop the gloves from time to time. His popularity with his teammates and the fans made him the easy choice to wear the captain’s “C," joining the likes of George Armstrong, Dave Keon and Darryl Sittler. And while his playing days were shortened due to injuries sustained by his hard-driving playing style, he remains one of the most beloved Leafs of all time.
