From feared NHL sniper to ship captain and bellhop -- and hockey's greatest 'stache... Only 20 men in NHL history have scored 60 or more goals in a single season -- Gretzky, Lemieux and Hull all hit the magical mark. And so did an undersized, take-no-prisoners centre named Dennis Maruk. When Maruk found the back of the next 60 times in 1981-82 he was the toast of Washington: he even dined with the President. A few short years later he was out of the game. Maruk not only left the rink, his life did a complete 180. Instead of flying up the ice and in on goal, he was behind the wheel of a service ship in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of setting up teammates, he was setting up furniture for Goldie Hawn. He was never sent down to the farm as a player, but after the game he was a farmhand for Jon Oates. And instead of fighting in the corners, Dennis Maruk found himself... fighting for his life.
