Gordie Drillon’s NHL career was shortened, though not because he had a drop off in talent, nor due to injury. Drillon enlisted into the Canadian military during World War II, and though a young man when he returned, decided not to pursue a return to the NHL. Overall, Drillon still had a resume that was worth a look for the Hall of Fame to induct him, but honestly, just barely!
