Wendel Clark was selected first overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1985 draft. He was Captain of the Leafs from 1991 to 1994. He scored a hat-trick in game six of the 1993 Campbell Conference Finals, and helped force a game seven against Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings, the closest the Maple Leafs came to a birth in the Stanley Cup final over the past four decades.

The next season (1993-1994) Wendel Clark had a career high 46 goals in 64 games on a line with Doug Gilmour and Dave Andreychuk. He was also a two time NHL All-Star.
