Kristopher Bruce Draper (born May 24, 1971 in Toronto , Ontario ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and current official who played 1379 games for the Winnipeg Jets and Detroit Red Wings in National Hockey between 1988 and 2011 League on the position of the center . Draper won the Stanley Cup four times with the Detroit Red Wings and also won the world title and the World Cup of Hockey with the Canadian national team .

Career

Kris Draper played from 1988 to 1990 in the program of the Canadian ice hockey association Hockey Canada . Of the Winnipeg Jets from the National Hockey League , the attacker was selected in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft in the third round at position 62. Draper finally switched to the Jets in the summer of 1990, but came only to three NHL missions and also with the farm team , the Moncton Hawks , in the American Hockey League , he only played seven times. Unusually for an ice hockey player, he went to the junior league Ontario Hockey League for the Ottawa 67’s after his appearances in the two professional leagues . From 1991 to 1993 he was an integral part of the Moncton Hawks and got the chance to play in the NHL at Winnipeg every now and then. However, in the four years since he had been drafted, he had only played 20 NHL games.

In the summer of 1993 it was sold to the Detroit Red Wings for one US dollar and after two years it had established itself in Detroit. In the final of the Western Conference in late May 1996, he was headed against the gang by Claude Lemieux of the Colorado Avalanche . Draper suffered a fracture of the lower jaw , nose, and cheekbones, and a concussion . He was fit again at the beginning of the following season and was able to return to the game. Because of the incident, a home game against the Avalanches in March 1997 turned into a very tough game. Red Wings' anger over Kris Draper's injuries culminated in a mass brawl on the ice ( Hockeytown brawl ). The rivalry between the two teams continued into the following seasons. That year the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup and repeated the success in 1998. In 2002, Draper and the team won the third Stanley Cup in six years.

In spring 2003 Draper became world champion with Team Canada . After the 2003/04 season, Draper was awarded the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the striker with the best defensive qualities . In the summer of 2004 he won the World Cup of Hockey with Team Canada , and in 2005 he won the silver medal at the World Cup. In the 2005/06 season , the Red Wings completed the regular season as the best team in the NHL and were defeated in the first round against the Edmonton Oilers .

Since he was the longest serving Red Wing after Nicklas Lidström at the beginning of the 2006/07 season , it was only logical that he should be appointed assistant captain. During the season he scored 14 goals and prepared 15. Draper was a member of the Detroit Grind Line for years , along with Kirk Maltby and Joe Kocur (later replaced by Darren McCarty ), who were known for their tough game. In July 2011, Draper declared his playing career over, but remained loyal to the Red Wings in the episode. Since 2011 he has been working there as a consultant to General Manager Ken Holland .
