Craig Harlan Janney (born September 26, 1967 in Hartford , Connecticut ) is a former American ice hockey player who played 880 games for the Boston Bruins , St. Louis Blues , San Jose Sharks , Winnipeg Jets , Phoenix Coyotes , Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders in the National Hockey League . Janney has represented the United States national team in numerous international tournaments and was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2016 for his services to ice hockey in the United States .
Career
As a junior he played for Boston College in the NCAA and was able to attract the attention of the Bruins' scouts. In the 1986 NHL Entry Draft he was then selected by the Boston Bruins in the first round as 13th. In the coming season he showed 83 points in 37 games, which is why the Bruins brought him so early in the draft. In the 1987/88 season he was used only 15 times and brought it to 16 points. In the coming season he had prevailed in the NHL and always had more points than games. When the Bruins wanted Adam Oates from the St. Louis Blues in early 1992 , Janney was the price to pay. In the 1992/93 season he played in St. Louis as a center with Brett Hull and Brendan Shanahan and was the only time in his career to achieve more than 100 points scorer in one season.
Shortly after the late start of the 1994/95 season , he moved to the San Jose Sharks but at the end of the following season his journey continued to the Winnipeg Jets . With these he then moved to Phoenix and played there for two more years before he was given in exchange for Louie DeBrusk and a five-round vote in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft to the Tampa Bay Lightning .
After the 1998/99 season , which he had started with the Tampa Bay Lightning and finished with the New York Islanders , he ended his active career.
