Several of your friends surely have a story where they claim to have caused that player you can't stand to take a penalty. However, only one man has ever dressed for an NHL team and caused a penalty without leaving any trace of playing a game.
Alex 'Shrimp' McPherson was born in Inverness, Scotland in 1908 and he eventually made his way to North America from Scotland. At 5-foot-6, 154 pounds, he earned the nickname 'Shrimp' as a small man in an era with smaller people altogether.
Despite his stature, Shrimp found himself at home on skates and a sheet of ice.
