Career

Curtis Lazar (2019)

Lazar began his career in the junior leagues of the city of Vernon before moving to the Pursuit of Excellence ice hockey school in Kelowna . There he was named British Columbia's Player of the Year in 2010 . Then the Edmonton Oil Kings selected him from the Western Hockey League in the WHL Bantam Draft in second overall position. First, however, he spent most of the season at the Okanagan Hockey Academy , where he was recognized as the top scorer and most valuable player on his team.

With the selection of his home province British Columbia, Curtis Lazar took part in the Canada Winter Games 2011 and led his team to win the gold medal. He also set a new tournament record with twelve goals and 17 scorer points from six games, surpassing the previous records of Steven Stamkos and Sidney Crosby from 2007 and 2003. At the end of the 2010/11 season , the center also made its debut for the Oil Kings.

For the following season Lazar was permanently in the squad of the team and completed the regular season with Edmonton in first place in the league. In the play-offs, Lazar significantly increased his points and helped his team to win the Ed Chynoweth Cup as the top scorer with 19 points from 20 games . In the 2012/13 season he was then appointed assistant captain of the Oil Kings and finished the season with 38 goals as the team's top scorer. In the play-offs he reached the final series again with Edmoton, but where the team was subject to the Portland Winterhawks . Lazar caused a stir at the CHL Top Prospects Game when he was involved in a fist fight with Darnell Nurse .

In the 2013 NHL Entry Draft , Lazar was selected in the first round in 17th position by the Ottawa Senators and signed an entry contract with them in September 2013 . However, he first returned to the Oil Kings in the WHL and recorded his statistically best season in 2013/14 when he finished second with 76 points behind Henrik Samuelsson in the team's internal scorer ranking. In the play-offs he made a significant contribution to the second Ed Chynoweth Cup win within three years with 22 points. At the subsequent tournament for the Memorial Cup , Lazar was again successful with the Oil Kings and won the title with the team. He was also awarded the George Parsons Trophy as the fairest player.

With the beginning of the 2014/15 season, Lazar was firmly in the NHL squad of Senators. After a personally disappointing first half of the 2016/17 season, the attacker and Michael Kostka were handed over to the Calgary Flames at the trade deadline on March 1, 2017 . In return, Senators received Jyrki Jokipakka and a second-round vote for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft . After two years in Calgary, he joined the Buffalo Sabers as a free agent in July 2019 .

International

Curtis Lazar represented the Canada Pacific team in his home province of British Columbia at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2012 and acted there as team captain. In the same year he won the gold medal with Canada at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2012 . At the U20 World Junior Championship in 2014 , he was again on the ice for Canada and was the third-best scorer of his team with seven points from as many games. Lazar was used in all three forward positions and in the minority game .

In 2015 he took part in the U20 World Cup in his own country and won the gold medal with the team he led as captain.
