gold star for USAHOF

299. Andre Dupont

Andre Dupont was traded midway through the 1972-73 from the St. Louis Blues to the Philadelphia Flyers where he would find himself perfectly at home.  Nicknamed “Moose” Dupont joined what was morphing into the “Broad Street Bullies” and Dupont’s bruising defensive style was a perfect fit.  He was not afraid to attack the corners, block any shot and physically fight anyone.  Dupont would exceed 200 Penalty Minutes four times and was a two time Stanley Cup Champion with the Flyers.  He was also an All-Star in the 1975-76 Season.

Andre Dupont was traded midway through the 1972/73 Season from St. Louis and he would prove to be a perfect fit for Philadelphia.  The Flyers were putting together the “Broad Street Bullies” and Dupont would be in the top seven in Penalty Minutes five times with Philadelphia.
