Bruce Shoebottom

Defenseman Bruce Shoebottom earned a reputation as one of hockey's toughest players in a well-traveled 15-year pro hockey career.

He was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft by the LA Kings after a solid four-year junior career with the OHL's Peterborough Petes.

Bruce was signed by the Bruins as a free agent in 1987 and spent the next four seasons in the Bruins organization.  He was a solid plus 5 in in 1989 and compiled 35 PIM's in 10 playoff games
