Career

Brind'Amour spent part of his junior years with the Notre Dame Hounds in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League , where he had a very successful time between 1986 and 1988. He won both the Credential Cup and the Centennial Cup with the Hounds at the end of the 1987/88 season . As the most valuable player in the Centennial Cup and thanks to his 121 points scorer over the course of the season, he played a key role in this. The election at the NHL Entry Draft 1988 in the first round as the ninth player by the St. Louis Blues from the National Hockey League was finally the logical consequence. The striker then moved to the United States , but initially enrolled at Michigan State University . With their university team he played in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association , a division in the game operations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association . In the Spartans team , which later had numerous NHL players , the rookie won the division championship and, thanks to his 57 scorer points, was named the best newcomer to the league .

Already at the end of the 1988/89 season, the St. Louis Blues got their first round election of the previous summer in the NHL squad and used it five times during the 1989 Stanley Cup playoffs . For the following season , the Canadian was part of the Blues' regular squad and reached 61 points during the season. He was also called up as one of six players in the NHL All-Rookie Team . After another year in St. Louis, Brind'Amour was transferred to the Philadelphia Flyers shortly before the beginning of the 1991/92 game year together with Dan Quinn , who in return gave Ron Sutter and Murray Baron to St. Louis. With Flyers, who were in the process of rebuilding with the talent Eric Lindros , the center forward found a sporting home for the following eight and a half seasons and was one of the offensive pillars of the team alongside Lindros and John LeClair . In the 1993/94 season he set a personal record with 97 points scorer. Three years later he reached the final with the Flyers in the 1997 Stanley Cup playoffs . There Philadelphia failed, however, to the Detroit Red Wings . With 13 goals - together with Claude Lemieux, most of the play-offs - he made a significant contribution to the finals.

In the middle of his ninth season with the Flyers, in which he had just cured an ankle injury, Brind'Amour was given up in mid-January 2000 together with goalkeeper Jean-Marc Pelletier and a second-round suffrage in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft to the Carolina Hurricanes . This let Keith Primeau and a five-round election of the same draft move to Philadelphia. In the service of the Hurricanes, the striker filled a more defensive role from then on, but he reached the Stanley Cup final again with the team in the 2001/02 season after his contract expired the previous summer, initially by a year and a little later by more had extended four years. Once again, however, Detroit was the winner at the end of the final series. After reaching the cup final, the franchise had two sobering seasons and after the 2004/05 NHL season fell victim to the lockout , the Canadian moved to Switzerland to bridge the gap between games . There he joined the Kloten Flyers from the National League A in February 2005 . Ultimately, however, he only played two games for the Swiss, in which he scored three points.

The center returned to the Hurricanes in the summer of 2005 and was named the fourth team captain in franchise history prior to the start of the 2005-06 season . Under the leadership of Brind'Amour, the team reached the final series again after four years and this time had the better end to themselves against the Edmonton Oilers . The victory in the final series meant that the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup for the first time . The striker himself was also awarded the Frank J. Selke Trophy at the 2006 NHL Awards , which is given to the striker with the best defensive skills. He repeated this success the following year, in which he scored the 1000th point of his career with an assist against the Ottawa Senators . Before the season he had signed a new contract with a term of five years. At the end of the 2007/08 season , Brind'Amour tore the cruciate ligament , but played 80 games in the 2008/09 season . After his offensive production had decreased significantly in the 2009/10 game year, however, he announced his retirement from professional sports at the end of June 2010, although his current contract was still valid for one year.
