Top French Canadian Scorer of All-Time

When we think of great French Canadian forwards names like Lemieux, Lafleur, Bossy, Richard and Beliveau come to mind. Often ignored is Marcel Dionne, the little beaver. Take a look at the record books and you begin to question why this guy is so often over-looked. Marcel Dionne holds two of the three career scoring marks for French Canadians, only fellow French Canadian Raymond Bourque's career assist total of 1169 is greater than Dionne's. Marcel Dionne started his career in Detroit and played four seasons for the Red Wings before he signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Kings. Unfortunately for Marcel, it could have been this signing that left him unnoticed for many years and ignored when we discuss the best players of all-time.
