Flyers Hockey

SI.com:

Back in the days before the salary cap, Chapman was a Wite-Out for general manager Bob Clarke, practically guaranteeing that some promising kid would be in the pipeline whenever the Flyers lurched off the rails. Like David Conte in New Jersey and Tim Burke in San Jose, Chapman was considered a master at identifying young talent. (He was a big part of the 2003 Jeff Carter - Mike Richards draft that remains the cornerstone of the organization. The first six players the Flyers selected that June have played in the NHL.)

For the past four seasons, Chapman, a successful junior coach in Lethbridge in the 1980s, has been working as a pro scout for Philadelphia. If you do know his name, you might have heard about it not because of his scouting acumen, but for his old-fashioned heroism. He jumped into a lake to save a drowning two-month-old girl and her mother last April, a tale that got big play in Canada. Sometimes Stealth Listers make the game better. Sometimes they make the world better.
