You probably never heard of the Hawkeyes, but folks in Saskatchewan a few generations ago knew them. They were muscular, brash, and fun-loving, a group as hard as a Prairie winter … and they didn’t even play hockey. Well, at least they didn’t in the summer. This is the tale of the toughest team there ever was. Wendel Clark Joey Kocur Barry Melrose Kelly Chase

Great video. As far as I'm concerned those legendary Saskatchewan hockey farm boys were all just continuing the legacy of the greatest and toughest Saskatchewan hockey player of them all: Gordie Howe. Mr. Hockey set the standard they all lived by. Gordie came from the same small-town background, Gordie showed them all how much you can achieve with hard work and dedication. This is an old-fashioned kind of hockey that is slowly disappearing because that kind of tough physical play is being phased out, which is too bad.

Canadians in general are very kind people, but we are full of grit too. I was on a baseball team one season growing up that was full of multi-sport athletes: boxers, hockey players, football players, kyokushin fighters etc. Toughest team I was ever on. This video reminded me of that team.

There were a lot of NHL tough guys who came out of Saskatoon and other cities and towns in that Province as well: Dave Brown, Tony Twist, Todd Ewen, Mick Vukota, Derek Boogaard, Jim McKenzie, Tiger Williams, Wade Belak, Dave Manson, Dave Schultz, Darin Kimble, Lyndon Byers, Reed Low, Clark Gillies, Lyle Odelein, Jeff Odgers, Darcy Hordichuk etc. etc. T Tough Western Canadian farm boys. NHL slowly replaced these guys with Euros and College players starting back in the 90s (after Detroit's Russian Five dominated) and the League hasn't been the same since.

the toughest NHL team ever was probably the 1988-89 Flyers (before Dave Brown was traded to Edmonton). The Flyers lineup at that time had Brown, Chychrun, Berube, Tocchet, Carkner, Mellanby, Wells. Yikes!!
