Season Achievements
The 1997–98 NHL season saw the largest number of players (six) achieve their 1000th point. A total of 5 players scored their 1000th point in the 1990–91 season.
Starting with Gordie Howe's achievement in 1960–61, and ignoring the cancelled (lockout) season of 2004–05, there have been 15 seasons in which no player happened to score their 1000th career point. Of these 15, there were seven seasons between Gordie Howe and the second player, Jean Beliveau, to make it to the 1000 point mark.

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or achievements:
“The art of medicine in the season lies:
Wine given in season oft will benefit,
Which out of season injures.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
