Career

Dion Phaneuf began his career as a hockey player with the Red Deer Rebels , for which he was active from 2001 to 2005 in the Canadian junior league Western Hockey League . There he was one of the best players in the entire Canadian Hockey League , in whose First All-Star Team he was chosen in his last two years with the Rebels as well as in the First All-Star Team of the WHL Eastern Conference. He also won the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy twice for best defender in the WHL. During this period he was selected in the first round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft as the eighth player of the Calgary Flames .

In the 2005/06 season , the defender completed his rookie year in the National Hockey League for the Flames, for whom he came in 82 games in the regular season on 49 points, including 20 goals. Thus he was the first rookie defender after Brian Leetch 1989/90 and Barry Beck , who cracked the 20 goal mark. In the playoffs he also gave another assist in seven games. At the end of the season he was rewarded with the election to the NHL All-Rookie Team .

In the years 2006 to 2009 Phaneuf was one of the top performers of the Calgary Flames, with whom he could qualify for the playoffs for the Stanley Cup every time . In 2008 he was elected to the NHL First All-Star Team . After he started the 2009/10 season again in Calgary, the left-shooter was given to the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 31, 2010 along with Fredrik Sjöström and Keith Aulie in exchange for Matt Stajan , Niklas Hagman , Ian White and Jamal Mayers . For the team from Ontario, the 2007 world champion scored his first goal for Toronto in the NHL on April 7, 2010 against Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers . In July 2010, Phaneuf was named the Leafs' new team captain.

In February 2016, Phaneuf joined the Ottawa Senators in a nine-player swap deal . With him Matt Frattin , Casey Bailey , Ryan Rupert and Cody Donaghey were transferred to Ottawa, while Jared Cowen , Milan Michálek , Colin Greening , Tobias Lindberg and a second-round vote for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft moved to Toronto. After two years in Ottawa, the Senators and Nate Thompson handed him over to the Los Angeles Kings , who transferred Marián Gáborík and Nick Shore to the Canadian capital. In addition, the Senators continued to pay 25% of his salary. In November 2018, he played his 1,000th regular season game in the NHL. After the season, the Los Angeles Kings paid the 34-year-old the remaining two years of his current contract ( buy-out ), whereupon he received the status of a so-called free agent in July 2019 .

Phaneuf is known for his physique play and hard checks.

International

For Canada , Phaneuf took part in the U20 World Junior Championships in 2004 and 2005 . After first winning the silver medal in 2004 and being elected to the All-Star Team, he won the final a year later. At the end of the tournament, he was named the best defender.

He also ran for his country at the 2007 World Cup , where he was again world champion with Canada.
