This Day In Bruins History...


On November 12th, 1990 Boston Bruins defenseman Gord Kluzak retired after playing just 299 games.

Kluzak was drafted in 1982 when Harry Sinden thought he'd be a better player than Brian Bellows. In 1984 he tore ligaments in his left knee and missed the rest of the season. He re-injured the same knee in 1986 and missed yet another season.

Gord Kluzak holds the distinction of playing the least amount of NHL games ever by a #1 overall draft pick and was just one of many poor choices in the history of Bruins drafting.
