Career

Roenick began his career at Thayer Academy, a high school in the US state of Massachusetts . After he had scored 149 points in two seasons, between 1986 and 1988, in a total of 48 games and had led the team to the championship in their league in its second year, USA Hockey , the American ice hockey association, and the franchises became the National Hockey League noticed him. The successful participation in the World Youth Championship meant that the Chicago Blackhawks him the 1988 NHL Entry Draft selected in the first round in eighth position. In order to develop his talent better, the Blackhawks first used the then 18-year-old in the Canadian Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec at the Olympiques de Hull . Again, he dominated at will, scoring 34 goals and preparing 36 in just 28 games. Impressed by this, the Blackhawks brought Roenick to the end of the 1988/89 season for 20 games in the NHL, where he recorded nine goals and eight assists.

From the 1989/90 season , the American was already part of the Chicago Blackhawks' regular squad . In his rookie season he did not quite meet expectations with 66 points, but was one of the candidates for the Calder Memorial Trophy for the best rookie with his compatriot Mike Modano and 30-year-old Sergei Makarow . After 94 points in his second year, three seasons followed with over 100 points and he had developed into an offensive executive in Chicago. During the lockout , which delayed the start of the 1994/95 game year by a few months, he played three games for the Kölner Haie in the DEL , where he scored three goals and one assist. As a result, various knee injuries and a concussion threw him back again and again. After the 1995/96 season , the Blackhawks gave Roenick to the Phoenix Coyotes and got Alexei Schamnow , Craig Mills and a first-round draft pick in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft . In Phoenix he continued his physical style of play until the end of the 2000/01 season and was one of the leading players there from the beginning. He has scored the most goals and assists for his team in his last two seasons in Phoenix. Since the new owners of the Coyotes wanted to save salary costs, they gave Roenick and other players to other teams in the summer of 2001. He signed a contract with the ambitious Philadelphia Flyers as a free agent . In his first season for the Flyers , he scored his 1,000 point in the NHL. He succeeded as the 63rd player overall and fourth American. After three years with the Flyers, in which the team had not succeeded in winning the Stanley Cup , another lockout followed, which led to the complete cancellation of the 2004/05 NHL season . During this time, Roenick did not play any games and was transferred from the Flyers to the Los Angeles Kings in the summer of 2005 , as the teams were forced by the new Collective Bargaining Agreement to drastically cut salaries and thus only entertain a few players with high salaries could. In Los Angeles, Roenick spent the worst year of his entire NHL career when he only managed 22 points in 58 games. In the summer of 2006, on July 4th, he therefore returned as a free agent to the Phoenix Coyotes, who had offered him a one-year contract worth $ 1.2 million, but there, too, the center was unable to participate in the offensive Building on achievements from previous years.

After Roenick had worked as a playoff analyst for the Canadian sports broadcaster TSN after the end of the regular season 2006/07 and as a result rumors of resignation arose in the summer, he finally continued his career and moved to the San Jose Sharks , where he was a year old - signed contract. With his fifth goal of the season on November 10, 2007, he reached the mark of 500 goals as the 40th in NHL history and third player born in the United States . Overall, he completed his best playing time since the lockout and was one of the surprises of the season. After the Sharks were eliminated in the second playoff round, Roenick extended the expiring contract for another year on improved terms. His last NHL season, however, was not a good star. The striker injured his shoulder at the beginning of December, after which he had to undergo surgery and did not return to the squad until the end of February. A little later, new problems occurred, which led to further downtime. Overall, Roenick only played 42 games in the regular season. After the Sharks were eliminated in the first playoff round, he left his sporting future open for a long time before he announced his retirement in early August 2009.

International

On the international stage, Roenick first appeared at the Junior World Championship in 1988 for the U20 national ice hockey team of the United States , also in 1989 . Although the team could not advance into the medal ranks, Roenick managed to be elected to the All-Star Team of the World Cup in 1989 . Then it was until 1991 before he took part in the men's world championship with the senior team of the United States , which finished the team in ungrateful fourth place. In the same year, however, succeeded in winning the silver medal at the Canada Cup , where Roenick found himself again in the All-Star Team. In 1998 and 2002 he took part in the Winter Olympics. After a disappointing sixth place in Nagano in 1998 , the Americans won the silver medal in their home town of Salt Lake City in 2002 . His last nomination for an international tournament Roenick received for the World Cup of Hockey 2004 in which he was not used.
