What is the name of the player who doesn't fight?


I'm trying to write a report for my sports on film class, but I can't remember which player didn't want to go along with Dunlop's style of play.
Thanks!

the name of the player is Ned Braden played by actor Michael Ontkean. But if you want to write a report maybe you should watch it again, it's a damn good movie anyway !

Ned : "Yes, Jim. A professional first in my career, I've been benched."
Jim : "Why's that?"
Ned : "I won't fight."
Jim : "Well, people say if you fought more, you could play."
Ned : "Let's just say I'm chicken s***."

(later in the interview)

Ned : "You're going bald, Jim."
Jim : "WELL AT LEAST I'M NOT CHICKEN S*** LIKE YOU!!"

(or something along those lines)

On that note, for the local junior team I follow, I think it would be hilarious to hear the colour commentator or play-by-play commentator say that line. The colour commentator I think would most likely say it!
