145. Kimmo Timonen

One of the more successful Finnish players in professional hockey history, Kimmo Timonen is one of the few players in the National Hockey League to accrue over 1,100 Games.  A Stay-at-home blueliner, Timonen represented Finland Internationally multiple times which resulted in four Olympic medals.  Timonen is also a Stanley Cup Champion, which occurred in his final pro game with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2015.  Not a bad way to finish a professional hockey career.
