How Tough Was Coach Martinson As A Player

Had heard Coach Martinson was a tough, hard-nosed player so thought I would take a look at his fighting statistics at dropyourgloves.com. Close to 200 fights in his career including including 41 in 1985-1986 while playing for the Hershey Bears for a total of 432 penalty minutes. Average over his career IS close to 5 PIM's per game. Yes, he was a tough guy and when he says we are going to be big, strong, tough, and hard to play against there is no doubt he is correct. DREAD THE RED!!!
