Career

Bryan Trottier grew up on a cattle ranch . He was already at the rodeo when he was nine . He had learned to skate on a river, but was only allowed to play in a team when he was ten. While he was constantly improving, he also appeared as a musician with his family in bars. When the New York Islanders tried to buy the Swift Current Broncos as a farm team to move to Lethbridge , they noticed Bryan Trottier. In the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft , the Islanders brought Bryan in the 2nd round as the 22nd player. After an excellent year in Lethbridge, he made the leap into the NHL. In his first season he broke Marcel Dionne's record with 95 points. In his early years he played with Clark Gillies and Billy Harris in a series called the Long Island Lightning Company . From the 1977/78 season , Billy Harris was replaced by Mike Bossy . The new series was called Trio Grande . In the heyday of the Islanders he was one of the leading players along with Mike Bossy and Denis Potvin and played a key role in the four Stanley Cup victories from 1980 to 1983. When the Islanders did not renew his contract, he wanted to end his career at the age of 33. However, he decided to continue with the Pittsburgh Penguins and won the Stanley Cup there in 1991 and 1992. He is one of five players who have won the cup at least twice with two different teams.

After his active career, he was assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins from 1994 to 1997 and spent the next four years in the same position with the Colorado Avalanche , where he received his seventh Stanley Cup ring in 2001 . In 2002 he was head coach for the New York Rangers for 56 games . In 2006 Trottier returned to the New York Islanders as Director of Player Development and was jointly responsible for training the next generation until 2014. In July 2014, the Buffalo Sabers announced Trottier's engagement as an assistant coach. After the 2014/15 season, which ended the Sabers in last place in the table, head coach Ted Nolan was dismissed and Trottier's contract was not extended.

In 1997 he was honored with the induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame . The Islanders locked his number 19 on October 20, 2001, which has since hung as a banner on the ceiling of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum .
