Since this is an all-time list, I thought I'd take a moment to mention many of the smaller players in the league today who are not among the best little men in NHL history, but are worthy of consideration.
Among the great smaller players of today are Brad Marchand, Tyler Ennis, Nathan Gerbe, Mike Cammalleri, Derek Roy, Jordin Tootoo, Francis Bouillon, Stephen Gionta, Steve Sullivan, Scott Nichol, Jaden Schwartz (who will be starting his NHL career this season), Marc-Andre Bergeron and Keith Aucoin.
