Laraque's Enforcer Rep Hides Epic Hat Trick

Georges Laraque built a fearsome NHL career dropping the gloves for Edmonton, Pittsburgh and Montreal, but insiders still whisper about that wild night 26 years ago when he lit the lamp three times against the Kings. The 273-pound beast wasn't just protection - he flashed real offensive juice, earning first-star honors and proving enforcers could score in bunches back then. That hat trick remains a locker room legend, a reminder of when Big Georges reminded everyone he could play the game too.
