Brendan Shanahan played for five NHL teams in his 21-year NHL career including the New Jersey Devils (two stints), St. Louis Blues, Hartford Whalers, Detroit Red Wings, and New York Rangers. Some of his accolades include eight All-Star appearances and three Stanley Cups, and his contributions off the ice have left a lasting impact on the transition of the NHL from the 1990s and early 2000s into the modern era.
While playing with the Red Wings, he won three Stanley Cup championships (1997, 1998, 2002). In 2017 Shanahan was named one of the ‘100 Greatest NHL Players in history.’ With his physical play and goal-scoring ability, Shanahan scored 656 goals in his NHL career spanning over 1,500 NHL games and, at the time of his retirement, was the leader among active NHL players for goals scored. Shanahan is the only player in NHL history with over 600 goals and 2,000 penalty minutes.
