Career

Slaney (2001)

Slaney played with Mathieu Schneider and Owen Nolan for the Cornwall Royals in the Ontario Hockey League during his junior years . Because of his outstanding performance, the Washington Capitals selected him in the first round of the 1990 NHL Entry Draft as ninth.

The defender stayed in Cornwall for two more years. In the 1991 U20 World Cup final , Slaney scored the opening goal in the third third of the game between Canada against the Soviet Union , which Canada won the game and the tournament and made the defender one of Newfoundland's most prominent athletes.

After the Canadian had gained his first senior experience with the Baltimore Skipjacks in the American Hockey League , the Capitals brought him to the NHL for the 1993/94 season . In his first two seasons, the left-shooter commuted between Washington and the Portland Pirates in the AHL.

In the 1995/96 season Slaney started with the Colorado Avalanche , but soon moved to the Los Angeles Kings . Even during this time, however, the defender found himself often in farm teams and finally signed a contract with the Phoenix Coyotes in the summer of 1997 . Since this did not protect him after the season, the newly formed seized Nashville Predators in the NHL expansion draft in 1998 the opportunity and brought the Canadians in their squad. After a year with the new team, Slaney joined the Pittsburgh Penguins , where, however, as in his previous stations, he had to commute between the NHL and the farm team. In exchange for Kevin Stevens , the defender moved in 2001 to the Philadelphia Flyers , where he only made five appearances in the NHL in seven years and mostly played with the Philadelphia Phantoms , with whom he won the Calder Cup in 2005.

On December 30, 2005 Slaney was the most successful defender in AHL history at the time with 454 scorer points. For the 2007/08 season , the Canadian moved to the Kölner Haien in the German Ice Hockey League and signed a contract with league rivals Frankfurt Lions for the following season .

In January 2011, Bryan Helmer broke the four-year-old record for the most scorer points for a defensive player previously held by John Slaney. In his 986th game of the regular season in the American Hockey League, Helmer reached his 520th scorer point, surpassing Slaney, who had brought it to 519 points in 631 games of the regular season in the AHL .

After the Frankfurt Lions dissolved in the summer of 2010, Slaney moved to HC Plzeň in 1929 in the Czech extra league , before ending his career in summer 2011.

Immediately afterwards, he took over the position of assistant coach with the Portland Pirates in the American Hockey League , which he held for four years. In July 2015 he then moved to the Pirates' NHL cooperation partner, the Arizona Coyotes, in the same position . With the Coyotes he was under Dave Tippett for two seasons before he was ordered back to the Tucson Roadrunners in the AHL for the 2017/18 season .
