Frank William "Bill, Flash" Hollett (April 13, 1911 – April 20, 1999) was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played 13 seasons in the National Hockey League for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings.
Hollett was first noticed by Maple Leafs' owner Conn Smythe as he was playing lacrosse with then-Leafs captain Lionel Conacher. He apprenticed in the minor leagues before being loaned to the Senators for the 1933–34 NHL season. After that - which was the original Senators' final season in Ottawa - Bill played for the Leafs for a season and a half before being sold to the Bruins for $16,000, at the time one of the highest prices ever paid for a player.
Known for his swift skating stride and strong puckhandling ability, Hollett became one of the top offensive defencemen of his day. He played for eight seasons in Boston, and was a star defenceman on the Bruins' Stanley Cup championship teams of 1939 and 1941. In 1942, he set a record for goals by a defenceman with 19, a mark he tied the following season, after which he was named to the league's Second All-Star Team.

NHL Trivia - Who Was The First NHL Player To Score an Empty Netter? On November 11th, 1943 the National Hockey League recorded it's first empty net goal. Trailing 5-4 late in a game against Chicago, Boston coach Art Ross pulled his goalie in favor of the extra attacker. But Clint "Snuffy" Smith broke in on the unattended goal and, despite Bruins defender Flash Hollett's best attempts, scored into the empty net to seal the victory.

I was playing around with my work and figured this would be a pretty cool signature to put at the end of any reel I may have!
Just a quick reel of some animation done in Flash.
I showed them all of the ways to forget me.
I made them cover up their eyes as they came to take me.
They’re waiting to condemn me,
Unburdened by original sin.
I do this consciously
Because I’ll die for what I believe in.
Someone to never fall short when I’m in need.
Someone to hold me so close and never look back.
Right now this hole is empty.
Your words mean nothing to me.
False hopes; Of this I’m guilty.
I need you to conquer me.
I spin back to reality, and to what I should do.
Is someone really listening?
