Adam Richard Deadmarsh (born May 10, 1975 in Trail , British Columbia ) is a former American - Canadian ice hockey player and coach who played 672 games for the Nordiques de Québec , Colorado Avalanche between 1991 and 2003 and Los Angeles Kings in the National Hockey League on the position of right winger .

His second cousin , Butch Deadmarsh , was also a professional ice hockey player in the NHL and World Hockey Association (WHA).

Career

Deadmarsh first played four years from 1991 to 1995 with the Portland Winter Hawks in the Western Hockey League . In his rookie year , he already scored 60 points in 68 games. He was able to increase this yield in the following two seasons.

After the Nordiques de Québec had selected him in the NHL Entry Draft 1993 in the first round in 14th overall position, they brought him into the NHL squad during the 1994/95 season . The right winger had previously spent the season at his WHL club, as the start of the NHL game year had been delayed due to the lockout . In his first year, Deadmarsh played all 48 games for the Franco-Canadian team. The following season the franchise moved to Denver and played as the Colorado Avalanche . In Colorado, too, he was a permanent member of the squad and, with his 17 points in 22 playoff games, contributed significantly to the team's first Stanley Cup win. However, he gained more attention because his name was incorrectly engraved on the cup after he won the cup. The mistakenly engraved Deadmar c h was later corrected, making him the first player in NHL history whose name spelling was subsequently improved. Deadmarsh stayed in Colorado for the next four seasons and was one of the team's most reliable point collectors with 40 to 60 points per season.

When the Avalanche targeted the second Cup win in the course of the 2000/01 season , he was transferred to the Los Angeles Kings together with Aaron Miller , Jared Aulin and two first-round draft picks in exchange for Rob Blake and Steven Reinprecht . The 2001/02 season closed Deadmarsh with a career record of 62 points in 76 games, but the following season ended for him in December after only 20 games. The two concussions he suffered meant that he was out the remainder of the 2002/03 season and the entire 2003/04 season . After he failed to get back on his feet in the 2004/05 NHL season, which was failed again due to a lockout , he ended his career on September 22, 2005. On March 20, 2006, he was honored before a game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche.

After retiring from his career, he worked as a video / development coach at Colorado Avalanche from 2009 to 2011 , before Deadmarsh was promoted to assistant coach under Joe Sacco after Steve Konowalchuk left in June 2011 . After a season he resigned from this position for personal reasons.

International

Deadmarsh, the son of a Canadian and an American, decided to play for the US national team with his dual citizenship , as he saw greater opportunities there for a call to the national squad. He ran so at the Junior World Championships in 1993 , 1994 and 1995 for the US team, but could not win a medal. In the senior division, he played at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey and the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics . At the World Cup he won the gold medal and at the Winter Games in Salt Lake City the silver medal. In both finals, he met his native Canada.
