Another Short Print, this time featuring tough defenseman Ted Green. "Terrible Ted" would play a pugilistic hard-nosed blueline during his early NHL career. In September of 1969 he was involved in a stick fight with Wayne Maki of the St. Louis Blues. Green ended up with a skull fracture and brain damage. He missed the entire 1969-70 season (Boston would win the Cup). Both players were charged with assault, the first time NHL players faced charges as a result of on-ice violence. Ultimately they were acquitted. But the league suspended Green for 13 games while Maki was out for a month. He would win a Cup with Boston in 1972, three Avco Cups in the WHA, and five more Stanley Cups as a coach. Graded 3 VG by SGC.
