In this video, we reflect on how World War II reshaped the NHL and turned players into heroes. We explore the brave acts of heroes like Moe Hurwitz, Red Garrett, Hec Kilrea, Sam LoPresti, Conn Smythe, and many others, as well as the on ice exploits of stars like Rocket Richard. We look at how the war almost halted the NHL, led to innovations in the game, and inspired players to serve their countries both on and off the ice. The stories in this video highlight the intersection of hockey and combat during the largest global conflict of the 20th century.
