Grandview Steelers All Time Top 50 Players
Over 50 years, several great players have donned the Steelers jersey and represented #SteeltownPride. Our top 50 represents those who have contributed to the Steelers family by performance on the ice, success in hockey beyond the Steelers, and commitment to the Steelers core values.
As part of our #Steeltown50 celebration, we have compiled all the historical stats and data available to compile the top 50 all time Grandview Steelers. The #Steeltown50 team spend weeks debating on who should make the top 50, it was no easy task. We acknowledge that not everyone would agree with this list as it is a subjective take as there are many great Steelers who didn’t make the list.
