Marty McSorley


Martin James McSorley is a retired Canadian professional hockey player, who played in the National Hockey League from 1983 until 2000. A versatile player, he was able to play both the forward and defense positions.

McSorley was born in Hamilton, Ontario, but grew up near Cayuga, Haldimand County, Ontario. He made his NHL debut in October 1983 with the Pittsburgh Penguins, but rose to fame after a trade in September 1985 brought him to the Edmonton Oilers. His arrival and physical presence soon made Edmontons incumbent enforcer Dave Semenko expendable, and McSorley inherited the title of Wayne Gretzkys bodyguard.
