If Cam Janssen didn’t play hockey, he may have ended up in jail.
According to the Ex-Blues enforcer, his dad knew when Cam was a teenager that this kid had to unleash some aggression somewhere. Hockey turned out to be the fuse that fit the torch.
Janssen was a fourth round draft pick out of New Jersey in 2002, but spent his most memorable years in St. Louis playing for the Blues from 2008-11. He racked up over 700 penalty minutes, most coming via the method of trying to put his fist through another player’s face. Janssen was an old school scrapper out on the ice, making up for size and skill with blunt force and a will that never stopped.
