Lou Fontinato was a rugged defenceman who played 535 NHL games with the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens in the 1950s and '60s. Considering his physical style, he was a durable player who missed relatively few games until, ironically, suffering a career-ending injury late in the 1962-63 NHL season. He played in a total of 535 games and scored 26 goals and 78 assists. He had 1247 penalty minutes.
