Hi Steve,
At the time, Lalonde was considered to be one of the greatest at both sports. He made more money playing Lacrosse, which was definitely very popular at the time (much moreso than today, I believe). He was a legit two sport superstar.
Others featured in both sets, like HOF goalie Paddy Moran, I would say were probably better known as hockey players.
Cheers,
Blair
