Career

As a player

college

Norm Maciver played in his Canadian homeland in no higher class junior league, so he was not considered in any NHL Entry Draft . Instead, he enrolled in the fall of 1982 at the age of 18 at the University of Minnesota Duluth and ran from then on for their ice hockey team, the Bulldogs , in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) in the game operations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In the Bulldogs jersey , the Canadian established himself as an offensively oriented defender and collected 152 templates in the following four years, setting a university record that is still valid today. He also won the WCHA championship with the team in 1984 and 1985, while he was included once in the WCHA Second All-Star Team and twice in the WCHA First All-Star Team . In addition, Maciver was one of the ten finalists in 1986 for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award , which honors the best college player in the United States; the trophy was subsequently given to Scott Fusco . In addition to his athletic career, he graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth in the same year with a degree in communication science .

Professional area

As a free agent , Maciver signed a contract with the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL) in September 1986 , which - apart from three NHL games - with their farm team , the New Haven Nighthawks , in the American Hockey League (AHL ) use. Already in the season 1987/88 the defender ran mainly for New York in the NHL and spent the rest of the year with the Colorado Rangers in the International Hockey League (IHL). At the beginning of the 1988/89 season, the Canadian had established himself in the Rangers' NHL squad, but in December 1988 he was handed over to the Hartford Whalers along with Brian Lawton and Don Maloney , who in return received Carey Wilson and a five-round right to vote for the NHL entry Draft to New York in 1990 . In Hartford he ended the season and was then transferred to the Edmonton Oilers in October 1989 in exchange for Jim Ennis .

In Edmonton Maciver needed again two seasons with the AHL farm team, the Cape Breton Oilers , before he was again regularly in the NHL on the ice in the 1991/92 season. Before that, however, he was so convincing in Cape Breton that he was honored with the Eddie Shore Award for best defender in the league in 1991 and was elected to the AHL First All-Star Team . However, he lost his NHL regular place after a year, so that he was selected in October 1992 in the NHL Waiver Draft by the Ottawa Senators . The Senators denied their first NHL season and were consequently not competitive, but Maciver received significantly more playing time and therefore achieved his career best in the 1992/93 season with 63 points from 80 games. After almost two and a half years in the Canadian capital, the defender and Troy Murray were handed over to the Pittsburgh Penguins in April 1995 , who in return sent Martin Straka to Ottawa.

After just under six months, the Penguins transferred him to the Winnipeg Jets , while Neil Wilkinson switched in the opposite direction. With the Jets franchise , Maciver moved to Arizona in the 1996 off-season and was active there for the Phoenix Coyotes for another two years . He let his career end in the 1998/99 season with the Houston Eros in the IHL, with whom he still won the playoffs for the Turner Cup . In total, the defender completed 556 games in the NHL and came up with 241 assists and 299 points.

International

After his first season in Ottawa, Maciver was appointed to the squad of the Canadian national team for the 1993 World Cup , in which he finished fourth with the team. In eight games, the defender recorded five assists.

As a trainer and functionary

Immediately after the end of his active career, Maciver returned to his alma mater for the 1999/2000 season and looked after the Bulldogs as an assistant coach. In the same role he was then with the Springfield Falcons in the AHL (2000-2003) and with the Boston Bruins in the NHL (2003-2006) before retiring from the coaching business. After a brief hiatus, the Canadian was hired as Director of Player Development at the Chicago Blackhawks in 2008 , where he was appointed as the new assistant to General Manager Stan Bowman for the 2012/13 season after Marc Bergevin left the organization for Montréal . As an official of the Blackhawks, his name was immortalized at the Stanley Cup in 2010, 2013 and 2015 .
