'''Phillip Joseph Stock''' (born [[May 26]], [[1975]] in [[Montreal, Quebec]]) is a retired [[Canadian]] [[ice hockey]] player. |
|||
==Playing career== |
|||
Stock played two years with the Victoriaville Tigres of QMJHL where he was a junior teammate of [[Alexandre Daigle]]. Upon graduating junior, Stock entered [[St. Francis Xavier University]] in 1996. |
|||
He was not drafted by an NHL team and signed as a [[free agent]] with the [[New York Rangers]] in 1997. He spent the next three seasons playing for both the Rangers and their AHL [[farm team]], the [[Hartford Wolf Pack]]. In addition to his scrappy nature, WolfPack fans in Hartford remember him as scoring the team's first ever goal on home ice at the [[Hartford Civic Center]] in 1997. Prior to [[2000–01 NHL season|2000–01]], Stock signed a free agent contract with the [[Montreal Canadiens]]. He played 20 games that year with the Canadiens before being traded to the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] for [[Gino Odjick]]. After a brief return to New York in the following offseason, Stock was claimed by the [[Boston Bruins]] in the annual waiver draft. |
|||
It was in Boston where he had the most success. He became a fan favorite for his hard-nosed play and his constant scrapping fights. Despite being relatively undersized for an NHL pugilist, Stock's reputation grew to one of the popular underdog who took on the big swingers from other clubs and fought them mightily.{{Fact|date=December 2007}} |
|||
Though fighters are traditionally beloved by hometown fans in the NHL, Stock grew especially notable for two reasons. First, Boston had a history of being fight-oriented, from the "Big Bad Bruins" persona of the 70s to "Terrible" [[Terry O'Reilly]] to [[Cam Neely]] to even local boy "Knuckles" [[Chris Nilan]]. Secondly, the Bruins had, at the time of Stock's arrival, fallen far out of favor in local eyes. The teams were seen as listless, boring, and without personality, and much was blamed on both stingy owner [[Jeremy Jacobs]] and the colorless [[FleetCenter]], which had replaced the beloved [[Boston Garden]] as the home of the Bruins (and also the [[Boston Celtics|Celtics]]). Stock's popularity was akin to the phenomenon of the "single candle in the dark": it was one of the few lights Bruins fans could latch onto and pour emotion into.{{Fact|date=December 2007}} |
|||
After two full seasons in Boston, Stock was briefly sent to their Providence farm team before being loaned to the [[Philadelphia Phantoms]] of the [[American Hockey League|AHL]]. Stock totaled five goals, 26 points and 523 [[Penalty (ice hockey)|penalty minutes]] in 235 NHL games before being forced to retire due to an eye injury sustained during an AHL game between Springfield and Philadelphia. Stock was being loaned to the Philadelphia Phantoms at the time. |
|||
==Broadcasting career== |
|||
Stock currently has his own show on Montreal radio called ''The Stock Exchange'' on [[CKGM (AM)|Team 990]]. He presents sports on ''Montreal News at 6'' on [[CBMT]] (CBC) television on a segment named ''Stock Talk'' and he has some sporadic segments in a francophone sports debate program on [[TQS]], ''110%''. He was also a game and studio analyst for [[The NHL On OLN]] in its first season. |
|||
Debuting in the Fall of 2007, Stock can be seen on CBC's [[Hockey Night in Canada]] as a panel member for ''The Hot Stove'' segment, hosted by [[Ron MacLean]], which appears between the second and third periods of the early (7PM Eastern) game. |
|||
==Personal information== |
|||
Stock is married with four children. |
|||
==P.J. Stock Crew== |
|||
Shirts were sold outside of the FleetCenter (or what is known now as the TD Banknorth Garden) that said "P.J. Stock Crew" on the front of the shirt, and on the back were the players last name would be it said "Ass Kicker" along with his number (#42). The shirts came in either yellow or white, and cost $15 each. |
