Wendel Clark Biggest Career Hits

The biggest hits from the Ultimate leaf Captain Crunch Wendel Clark

[@randycollins7910]

I'm a habs fan but I always said that Clark was one of those players who didn't go after a soft spot. He took on all comers and more often than not was hitting above his size and weight. He always had my respect and I always wished he had played for us. What a hockey player. Old school !!!

[@grahamholmes9737]

True honest observation - never went for the head or knees... Most were clean and hard

[@TheSunTheSea]

I miss this flavor of hockey. It truly was the golden era of the NHL.

[@Ronsolo767]

Like the one fan's sign said "Wendel is God". He will never be replaced as my all time favourite player. Met him a few times and he is the nicest guy too.

[@robertbouchard6719]

overrated...just like all the Leaf teams he was on......stop remembering 1993 as the glory years....we didn't win anything........

[@Ronsolo767]

I never said anything about 1993. I just said he was my favourite player...and for so many reasons, could score, hit and fight and produce. What is not to like about him as a player? It was just entertaining hockey back then. @@robertbouchard6719

[@sophiezanep]

My favorite ever Leaf.

[@robertbouchard6719]

@@sophiezanep like I said....overrated and never won anything... Awards WHL East First All-Star Team - 1985 Selected to two NHL All-Star Games: 1986 and 1999 NHL All-Rookie Team - 1986 Inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. #17 jersey retired by the Toronto Maple Leafs.[ no cups - just guts

[@sophiezanep]

He played with heart. Every shift, every game. I'll take that over anything else. BTW, I'm a professional coach who has coached multiple Olympic gold medalists..... just sayin'. @@robertbouchard6719

[@derekcole2638]

I use to enjoy watching leaf games on Saturday nights when I was a kid when Clark, Gilmore, Anderchuck were playing. Real good team, entertaining to watch and I’m a Bruin fan!

[@LastlyMore]

Clark is a fucken beast! What a hockey player! Anyone team would have loved to have a Wendel Clark.

[@stephenclem1045]

Every player just bounces off of him lol. The man was a tank on skates. Dang, I miss the '90s

[@rjcupid]

I’m from Montreal, but Wendel Clark has always been one of my favourite players.

[@1madmaxx80]

Cpt. Crunch! Wendel STILL is God 💪💪

[@alpha-male1959]

This is my era growing up and I was a big leaf fan Clark was one of my favourite players He did it all👍

[@halmartin7417]

Excellent stuff! Let's hope it's a series! Wendell Clark is one of those old school players. Put the puck in the net and then beat the shit out of you if you complained.

[@sawwas4677]

hard hits and Bob Cole....never gets old

[@richardblais7445]

Same for me,always hated Toronto but I always love Wendel Clark,what a warrior

[@juggisloser]

Bro had beef with St Louis😂

Clark is my hero and all time favorite leaf

[@noeybalbonzers9755]

Please never stop uploading these videos!

[@Smf7161]

My favorite LEAF of all time! Could do it all, hit, score and fight. GO LEAFS GO!!!

[@alwillk]

I’ll he was -130 for his career. He was a third line player who had one good season and a playoff.

[@grahamgill9685]

@@alwillk 1 good season? he scored 30+ goals 6 times!!! while only playing more than 65 games twice, due to a 1987 back injury that never healed. -130 is bad, but considering some of the teams he played for (80's Leafs, pre-Lecavalier/St. Louis Lightning) were absolute dog water, and considering that at least pre-Domi Clark had to score AND play sheriff, he wasn't half bad. Clark was -50 in his first 2 years despite scoring 34, and 37 goals, but that's a team stat not a personal stat (also let's not forget, he was a defenseman, the Leafs changed his position. Name another #1 pick that's had THAT happen?) Mario Lemieux was -35 in his rookie season with 100 points because the 84-85 Penguins were atrocious (No, I'm not comparing Clark to Lemieux, I'm WELL aware he loses that comparison.... by a lot).

[@cygnusx-1862]

He always gets his hands and arms up near the face and head, very dangerous to players careers. The man was tough.

[@toddpick8007]

Clean hits too

[@robertbouchard6719]

Yeah and mostly shoulder to the head lmao clean...

[@billshogun7068]

The Bruce Bell hit is my all-time favourite! Better than any Scott Stevens hit.

[@idontbelieveyou6665]

i absolutely love how much u are posting

[@b.a.k.2683]

This was when hockey was a contact sport ,unlike the powder puff hockey of today !

[@TheTrainMan570]

Yeah I know. Hitting people high. And late. And without the puck. HOCKEY!!!

Same here

[@spud2727]

Ditto

[@sonjajane4426]

He's so emotional! ❤️🇨🇦

[@williamrobinson604]

The first hit on Bell. I remember watching that game. On of the hardest hits I've ever seen.

[@surfshack2]

That hit on a Chelios 🤣

[@larrydanadavid2435]

This is how hockey should be played. Not this Euro league game I’m watching today.

[@WoodApe100]

A highly entertaining player. He could be quite violent. Always moving forward on the ice. Laying out guys and great wrist shot.

[@LowKeyContender]

thats what the leafs need now. clark was a legend

[@WoodApe100]

@@LowKeyContender In my opinion most teams could use a Wendel Clark type of player. Wendel was a throwback - even back then...cuz he used the wrist shot, heavy (but mostly clean bodychecker) and Wendel fought his own battles and also stood up for teammates when it was time. Wendel played instinctually and shit just developed. Almost all of Wendel's scraps developed during the play....he wasn't just dropping the gloves off the faceoff like some premeditated ritual. Immensely entertaining to watch.

[@Mattymu]

Wendys the man! Damn he hits with his stick up high! Where's the patented Clark hip cheques?

[@dunstinf]

All Heart Wendel Clark

[@penguin44ca]

Need guys with this heart now

[@worer850]

The very first hit was just thunderous. I do believe he was knocked out from that hit

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

He was out cold.

[@rick3461]

Had that mutant farm boy strength.

[@Nukleng88]

Clark was a damn bulldozer lol

[@ericksheldon3870]

some of the audio here aren’t even from the actual hits you see in the video, they’re from hits that happened decades after.

[@goleafs7727]

GO LEAFS

[@justinpower236]

One thing I noticed. Seems like a lot of these hits would be clean in todays NHL. Even NO hits like that nowadays. Now watch videos of Scott Steven’s hits. Most, if not all, would be illegal and warrant suspension and fines. Wendel was just a hard clean hitting hockey player. And man could he through them.

[@billshogun7068]

Excellent point! Unfortunately,he still would be suspended if the Bruce Bell hit occurred today.Any hit where a guy goes flying and is taken off on a stretcher and he’s getting suspended even though it was a clean hit.But what a frigging hit😂😂😂

[@johnmorton2963]

Are you kidding me ?? In todays sissy league 90% of these hits would get you fined & suspended today (& I absolutely loved every one of them lol)

[@gerryhall914]

Clark would throw dirty hits as well, but so did most guys who were known for their body checks back then. He never went low or knee-to-knee though.

[@donmorfeo]

Love that hit on that punk Probert.

[@davekearney1944]

I'm looking for shorter videos. How about the Sedins biggest hits?

[@jaymoon5906]

Pound for pound possibly the toughest player ever

[@user-uw9rf8xz2i]

I'm sad I'm 62 years old. I've seen 10 the Clark play hockey that's when hockey was hockey no. It's all about gary batman and the desert

[@JuanTurks27]

I’ll always love “he was admiring his pass” it’s literally code for “he was standing still without the puck and got blown up.” It’s absolutely hilarious

3 Mississippis is the rule of thumb.

[@randyhuke3773]

You obviously never played organized hockey. It is called "finishing your check" .

[@robertbouchard6719]

Wendel Clark was a one hit wonder!!!! Remember when Wendel didn't win anything???

[@ianfortier6796]

Remember when 90% of the teams he played on were just bad because of the lack of NHL calibre players around him? Clown car comment.

[@robertbouchard6719]

@@ianfortier6796 90% of the teams? like 93? How about 94? Did he had 50 goals those years??Did he ever win the Art Ross?

[@robertbouchard6719]

@@ianfortier6796 How many Cups did he win when he left Toronto? He was on a really good Detroit team and he was not the difference maker...What about his stint on Quebec? 37 GP and 12 goals...How many Conn Smyth's did he win? ZERO and overrated...average player who can hit and fight.........Colorado traded him for Lemieux and then they won because Clark sucked in then playoffs...I mean he had 20 points in the playoffs with the Leafs but "he was never surrounded by good players" Gilmour and the rest can thank their lucky stars he was on that team that.............................LOST......I only remember the players who won not the ones who almost made it.....Bye

[@ajm1268]

And none of them head shots unlike the dirty Scott Stevens who tried to end careers

[@TrainWreck444]

Clark is a Hockey players Hockey player. I still wish he got to win a cup with Quebec/Colorado. Im pretty sure he got traded at the deadline the year they won their first.

[@blair00725]

And after the hit what are you going to do, throw the gloves off and go after him, no thanks. Just take the hit.

[@alfredfleming3289]

Now most of those hits would bring a penalty.

[@tami3456]

It's depressing to know the leafs will never have a player like Wendell again.

the world will never have a player like that again. same goes for cam neely.

don't worry you can always relive the glory of 1967 lol 😆😅🤣😂

Honestly his hits come across as someone not even trying to wreck the other player. Just hit him hard and not kill him.

[@discoveryman59]

LOL now the Leafs play like girls

[@Kallogee]

lol the hit at 1:27 was late af! different times it was

[@Mikisiw]

I don't understand. Where are all the bench clearing brawls after a good, clean hit? You can't fart without someone coming after you these days, it seems. (source: have farted on the ice and started many a brawl)

[@brodieallard6638]

Watch the hits, damn near every hit he catch's player with their heads down, off balance or unprepared. It's not that he was so strong and sturdy on his blades, he was just a great opportunity hitter. Trouba does this same technic.

[@rossonphillips]

And Byfuglien would freight train Clark.

[@ianfortier6796]

Obvious statement, considering he had 5 inches and 50 pounds on Clark, along with being a tank on skates like Clark was. Pound for pound, though, I'm taking Clark over Byfuglien.
