A Portrait of a 1970s Hockey Rebel: The Mike "Shakey" Walton Story.

Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and WHA legend Mike “Shakey” Walton was one of the NHL’s 1st rebels -- a talented but complicated player whose strange career was part soap opera, part mystery thriller, part shakespearean drama. Through it all, Walton won two Stanley Cups, dominated the WHA and is the only NHL player traded on the recommendation of a psychologist. Walton played alongside some of the game’s greatest legends (Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Dave Keon, Frank Mahovlich, etc.) and it’s most notorious oddballs; he's remembered for his tantalizing skills that were often overshadowed by his outrageous -- and nearly fatal -- off-ice escapades. Here's the story of the enigma that was Mike “Shakey” Walton -- one of hockey’s most unforgettable characters.
