Career
Phil Housley played for South St. Paul High School and the St. Paul Vulcans in the USHL before he was selected in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabers in the first round in sixth place. He then immediately moved to the National Hockey League , where he demonstrated his skills as a strong attacking defender in his first season, as he reached 67 points in 77 games and was selected for the NHL All-Rookie Team . Until 1990 he played for the Buffalo Sabers and was never below 62 points in his point yield. In the summer of 1990 he was transferred to the Winnipeg Jets , where he scored more points than in Buffalo. In the 1992/93 season he reached 97 points, the highest value of his career.
In the following years he was often part of transfer deals. In 1993 he was transferred to the St. Louis Blues , where he only played a year. Already in the summer of 1994 it was passed on to the Calgary Flames , who kept it for a year and a half, but in February 1996 transferred to the New Jersey Devils for Tommy Albelin, among others . In the summer of 1996 he was without a contract and joined the Washington Capitals . In Washington his qualities as a scorer slowly declined, but the time was relatively positive for him and the team. In the 1997/98 season , the Capitals were able to reach the Stanley Cup finals, but were clearly subject to the Detroit Red Wings . After the season, however, the Capitals wanted to give him up and found a buyer at Calgary Flames, for whom he had already played.
In his first two years he found his way back to his old strength, got 54 and 55 points in the two seasons, but could not build on it in 2000/01 , so he finally left the team and moved to the Chicago Blackhawks . There he recommended himself for the US team that won the silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics . In February 2003, the Blackhawks transferred him to the Toronto Maple Leafs , for which he was used again during the regular season and three times in the playoffs . In the summer of 2003 he finally ended his career.
Phil Housley is considered one of the best American ice hockey defenders of all time, along with Chris Chelios and Brian Leetch . Nevertheless, he never won the James Norris Memorial Trophy for the best defender of an NHL season, because he was unlucky to have his best ice hockey years at the same time, like Ray Bourque , Paul Coffey , Brian Leetch or Chris Chelios, who together make up James Norris Won Memorial Trophy from 1985 to 1997. He is therefore considered one of the most underrated defenders in ice hockey history, as he was the best scorer among defenders for many seasons. In addition, he never won the Stanley Cup. With a total of 1580 completed games, he was for a good 15 years the player with the most completed games without having won the Stanley Cup. With the resignation of Shane Doan on August 30, 2017, he took over this brand with a total of 1595 games.
On January 21, 2000, Housley excelled in his 1,257. Play the record of Craig Ludwig , who was the American with the most NHL games until then. Housley had played 1,495 games in the NHL at the end of his career. In November 2006 this record was broken by Chris Chelios. With 1,232 points, he was also the best American scorer of all time, before Mike Modano set a new record on November 8, 2007. On February 7, 2007 Housley was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame as part of a home game of his ex-team, the Buffalo Sabers .
In 2008 he was awarded the Lester Patrick Trophy for his services to ice hockey in the United States ; in addition, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in June 2015 . In September 2016 he was the assistant coach of Team USA at the World Cup of Hockey 2016 behind the gang, but was eliminated with the team in the group stage. Housley served as an assistant coach with the Nashville Predators from 2013 to 2017 , before assuming his first head coach position in the NHL in June 2017, returning to the Buffalo Sabers. The American worked at his old place of work for two years, in which the Sabers missed the playoffs, so that he was fired in April 2019. Less than two months later, he was hired by the Arizona Coyotes as Rick Tocchet's new assistant .
