Andrew Burton McBain (born January 18, 1965 in Toronto , Ontario ) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player . The right winger played over 600 games for the Winnipeg Jets , Pittsburgh Penguins , Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators in the National Hockey League between 1983 and 1994 . He spent most of that time with the Jets, who selected him in eighth position in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft . With the Canadian national team , he won the silver medal at the 1989 World Cup .

Career

Andrew McBain ran for the Aurora Tigers in his youth and moved to the 1981/82 season for the Niagara Falls Flyers , who had selected him in 1981 in the OHL Priority Selection in sixth position. After only one year he moved with the team to North Bay , where it was henceforth known as North Bay Centennials , and increased his personal statistics significantly to 120 scorer points from 67 games. As a result, he was taken to the Second All-Star Team selected the OHL before him, the Winnipeg Jets in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft considered in eighth position.

The winger switched to the organization of the Jets immediately after the draft and initially had problems in the National Hockey League (NHL) to transfer his scorer qualities to the professional field. He also missed most of the 1985/86 season due to a knee injury. Then the Canadian reached the mark of 30 goals twice and recorded his career record in the 1988/89 season with 77 points from 80 games. Nevertheless, McBain was handed over to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Jim Kyte and Randy Gilhen in June 1989 , while Randy Cunneyworth , Rick Tabaracci and Dave McLlwain moved to Winnipeg. He was only active in Pittsburgh for about half a year before the Penguins transferred him to the Vancouver Canucks in January 1990, along with Dave Capuano and Dan Quinn . In return, Rod Buskas , Barry Pederson and Tony Tanti were sent to the Steel City .

At the Canucks, McBain did not succeed in maintaining his regular place in the NHL squad, so he spent large parts of the next two and a half years with Vancouver's farm team , the Milwaukee Admirals from the International Hockey League (IHL). Finally, his contract expired after the 1991/92 season, so he joined the Ottawa Senators as a free agent in July 1992 . The franchise had only been accepted into the NHL in the 1992/93 season, so McBain received more playing time in the top division of North America in their debut season. Nevertheless, he was used again in the following year partially with the Prince Edward Island Senators in the American Hockey League , while this should be his last season in the squad of an NHL team. The attacker let his career end in the next two years with the Las Vegas Thunder and the Fort Wayne Komets in the IHL before he declared his career ended after the 1995/96 season. In total, he had played 632 NHL games and recorded 313 points scorer.

After the end of his active career, McBain worked briefly as an assistant coach with the Don Mills Flyers in his home city of Toronto, but did not pursue this career further.

International

After his last and at the same time statistically best season in the jersey of the Winnipeg Jets McBain was nominated for the Canadian national team , with which he won the silver medal at the 1989 World Cup .
