Hockey enforcer Don Perry racked up penalties in the blood-and-guts EHL Globe_Sports
The Miracle on Manchester remains a prized memory for Kings fans even after the team won two Stanley Cup championships this decade.Don Perry knew only one code in hockey: Do unto others before they do unto you.
The incident reflected the NHL’s inconsistent approach to violence. The league insisted fisticuffs was a spontaneous expression to be expected on occasion in a fast sport with body contact. Some thought the coach was punished for being honest about hockey’s Old Testament edict of a slash for a slash, a punch for a punch.
The rookie was sent for seasoning to the Boston Olympics. After one year, he joined the Springfield Indians, where Mr. Shore encouraged his 6-foot-2, 205-pound protégé to ignore hockey’s rule book, as well as boxing’s Marquess of Queensberry rules. In 62 games, Mr. Perry scored five goals and 32 assists, but, more importantly, served 160 penalty minutes, the equivalent of eight full periods of hockey.
He retired as a player after the 1968-69 season at age 39, having spent nearly 100 periods contemplating his transgressions while sitting in the penalty box.
