Vintage footage shows Cam Neely wrecking opponents with vicious hits

Known for his sniping skills with the puck, Neely was equally as terrifying when he didn't have it on his stick. One of the NHL's greatest power forwards, he just loved to throw his weight around!

Thanks to a few devastating bodychecks and his hard-nosed style of play, Neely quickly became a fan favorite in Boston and earned the famous nickname ''Bam-Bam Cam''.

This video clearly shows how nasty the Hall of Famer was in his prime.

Neely retired in 1995-96 season following a 13-year career during which he racked up 694 points and 1241 penalty minutes in 726 games. The five-time All-Star has been serving as the Boston Bruins President for more than a decade now.
