Career

Sheldon Brookbank played three years for the Humboldt Broncos in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League before moving to a professional league.

On July 21, 2003 he signed a two-year contract as a free agent with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , but he did not come to his first NHL assignment, but continued to play in the AHL. But no longer for the Grand Rapids Griffins, but for the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks , the former Mighty Ducks farm team . When his contract expired, the Ducks did not renew his contract, but on August 4, 2005, the Nashville Predators signed him for a season. During that year he played for the Milwaukee Admirals . He was sitting on the bench for 232 penalty minutes, most of the entire team.

The Predators extended his contract on July 21, 2006. In the 2006/07 season he also came to his first NHL mission. Most of the time he played for the Milwaukee Admirals. That same season, he was awarded the Eddie Shore Award for Best Regular Season Defender. On July 1, 2007, Brookbank signed, again as a free agent, a contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets . Even before he had completed a game for the Blue Jackets, the defender was put on October 2, 2007 on the waiver list, from which the New Jersey Devils selected him. These gave him in the course of the following season - on February 3, 2009 - in exchange for David McIntyre to the Anaheim Ducks .

During the 2009/10 season, the defensive defender established himself with the Californians when he was used in 66 games and achieved the team's second-best plus / minus balance with +10. In June 2010, Brookbank reached an agreement with the Anaheim Ducks to extend the contract by two years. After this contract expired, the Canadian was given a two-year contract as a free agent by the Chicago Blackhawks in early July 2012 , with which he won the Stanley Cup the following season . After the 2013/14 season, his expiring contract was not renewed, so Brookbank left North America in October 2014 and Ak Bars joined Kazan from the Continental Hockey League .

There he spent the 2014/15 season before returning to North America and joining the Anaheim Ducks on a professional tryout contract , for which he was active from 2009 to 2012. There he received just as little a permanent contract as with the Providence Bruins , with whom he also worked a little later on probation. In November 2015 he moved again to Europe and joined the Finnish club Rauman Lukko from the Liiga . After a year he returned to North America, where he played six games with the Cleveland Monsters in the AHL on a trial basis before he declared his active career over.

Brookbank then returned to the organization of the Blackhawks, who hired him as an assistant coach at the Rockford IceHogs in the AHL for the 2017/18 season . From there he rose to the position of assistant to Jeremy Colliton in the NHL in January 2019 .
