Ron Francis was one of the most consistent and productive players in NHL history. Across an incredible 23-season career, he amassed 1,798 points, ranking 5th all-time. Renowned for his elite playmaking and defensive skills, Francis recorded 1,249 assists—second only to Wayne Gretzky (1,963) in NHL history. A two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins (1991, 1992), he also earned the Selke Trophy (1994-95) and the Lady Byng Trophy three times (1994-95, 1997-98, 2001-02). Spending most his career with the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins, Francis retired as one of the most accomplished and respected centers in the game. In his final postseason with Carolina, the team captain delivered a memorable moment, scoring the overtime winner in Game 1 of the 2002 Stanley Cup Final—his last playoff goal. His remarkable legacy was solidified with his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007. Officially Licensed Product of the NHL, NHLPA, and/or NHLAA.
