Former Brandon Wheat Kings star Brian Propp has been listed as the Canadian Hockey League’s 47th best player in new rankings.
Propp, who in 1999 was listed as the left-winger on the CHL’s all-time team — joining Bernie Parent, Bobby Orr, Denis Potvin, Mario Lemieux and Guy Lafleur — was named the 14th best player in Western Hockey League history in 2016. He recorded 511 points in 213 regular-season games and won consecutive WHL scoring titles.
The top 50 players were selected by a panel of more than 40 media members who submitted ranked 1–50 ballots that made the odd decision to consider a player’s impact beyond the CHL.
The other players on the first instalment of the top 50 players of the last 50 years list are:
41. Patrice Bergeron, forward (Acadie-Bathurst Titan, 2001-03).
42. Leon Draisaitl, forward (Prince Albert Raiders and Kelowna Rockets, 2012-15).
43. Cam Neely, forward (Portland Winterhawks, 1982-84).
44. Guy Carbonneau forward (Chicoutimi Saguenéens, 1976-80).
45. Mark Recchi, forward (New Westminster Bruins and Kamloops Blazers, 1984-88).
46. Steven Stamkos, forward (Sarnia Sting, 2006-08).
47. Brian Propp, forward (Brandon, 1976-79).
48. Taylor Hall, forward (Windsor Spitfires, 2007-10).
49. Scott Stevens, defenceman (Kitchener Rangers, 1980-82). 50. Larry Murphy, defenceman (Peterborough Petes, 1978-80).
Further rankings will be revealed in coming weeks.
