Timothy M. "Tim" Cheveldae (born February 15, 1968 in Melville , Saskatchewan ) is a former Canadian ice hockey goalkeeper and coach who played 365 games for the Detroit Red Wings , Winnipeg Jets and Boston Bruins has played in the National Hockey League (NHL). In the service of the Detroit Red Wings, Cheveldae completed his best year in the NHL in the 1991/92 season , when he represented the team in both the annual NHL All-Star Game and completed the regular season with the most wins of all goalkeepers in the league.

Career

Cheveldae started his career with the junior team of his native town of Melville in the province of Saskatchewan . There the goalkeeper stood in the 1984/85 season for the Melville Millionaires in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) on the ice. For the 1985/86 season he finally moved to the higher-class junior league Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Saskatoon Blades . In the first two years he formed an almost equal goalkeeper duo with Mark Reimer . Cheveldae played over 30 games in both game years before he was the undisputed goalkeeper after moving from Reimer to league rivals Portland Winter Hawks in the 1987/88 season . He came to 66 missions and found himself at the end of the season in the East First All-Star team of the league.

After the goalkeeper was selected by the Detroit Red Wings from the National Hockey League (NHL) in the fourth round in the fourth round in 1986 in the fourth round - and third goalkeeper overall - the goalkeeper was selected in the summer of 1988 to organize the Red Wings. First he was in the squad of the farm team Adirondack Red Wings in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he met again on Reimer. Likewise belonged Sam St. Laurent to the goalkeeper rotation this season, those in the Adirondack Calder Cup was the championship trophy of the AHL, winning. The master's roster also included Randy McKay , Adam Graves , Joe Murphy and Yves Racine . In addition, he was in his rookie season for the first time in the NHL for Detroit between the posts. In both season appearances in February 1989 he had to leave the ice as an inferior goalkeeper with a defeat in his luggage. Nevertheless, he impressed those responsible so much over the course of the season that he commuted between the NHL and AHL squads from the following season. In Detroit's squad, he acted as a substitute for the regular keeper Glen Hanlon . The 22-year-old replaced him at the beginning of the 1990/91 season as number 1 in goal and developed into a permanent worker over the next three years. Due to the lack of competition, Cheveldae played 204 out of 244 possible games during this period. In the 1991/92 season alone , the Canadian made 72 appearances, of which he won 38. He was at the top of this statistic this season, along with Kirk McLean of the Vancouver Canucks . He also represented the Red Wings together with Steve Yzerman and Sergei Fjodorow in the NHL All-Star Game this season .

Since Chris Osgood, a young talented goalkeeper, had recommended himself to the farm team in Adirondack in the course of the 1992/93 season , Cheveldae was given a serious competitor for the 1993/94 season with him. Thanks to Osgood's achievements, the experienced Cheveldae became dispensable for the franchise during the season . Then he was given in March 1994 together with Dallas Drake to the Winnipeg Jets , which sent their goalkeeper Bob Essensa and Sergei Bautin to the Motor City . In the Jets, the goalkeeper slipped back into the role of the starter between the posts. However, from the 1994/95 NHL season , which was shortened by the lockout , the post had to share with the young Russian Nikolai Chabibulin , who should soon overtake him as well. In the 1995/96 game year , Cheveldae again did not get beyond the role of backup, so that he was again part of a transfer deal towards the end of the season. Together with a third round suffrage in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft , he moved to the organization of the Philadelphia Flyers , who parted ways with Dominic Roussel , their third goalkeeper behind Ron Hextall and Garth Snow . Due to the great competition, Cheveldae ended the season on the AHL farm team Hershey Bears .

Because his expiring contract at the end of the season was not extended by the Flyers, he did not play a game for Philadelphia and finally signed a contract with the Boston Bruins as a free agent in late August 1996 . With the exception of two NHL appearances during the season, they used him at Fort Wayne Komets in the International Hockey League (IHL), where he did not get beyond the role of substitute behind Mike Torchia . His last professional station was in the 1997/98 season, the Las Vegas Thunder , which was also based in the IHL. There he formed the goalkeeping team with Manny Legace before he declared his career over at the age of 30.

After his resignation, Cheveldae returned to the Western Hockey League as an assistant coach to his former junior team Saskatoon Blades. In this role he worked for two years, after which he worked as a volunteer trainer. For the 2001/02 season he joined Saskatoon's league rivals Moose Jaw Warriors - this time as a goalkeeping coach. Between 2013 and 2019 he worked for the Saskatoon Blades again in the same position.
