Details

Already a prospect of the New York Islanders heading into that 1974-75 WHL season, Trottier was a second round pick at the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft. His 144 points for the Lethbridge Broncos came on 49 goals and 98 assists, showing signs of what was to come for a player that would become one of the NHL’s top playmakers.

It was not the strongest of teams in the WHL that season, the Earl Ingarfield coached Broncos finished below .500 and were a first round exit from the playoffs. Other future NHLers on the club include Brian Sutter and Ron Delorme. Trottier led the league in assists and finished second to Mel Bridgman of the Victoria Cougars in overall scoring. Bryan was named the league’s Most Valuable Player.

He flawlessly moved from junior to his NHL career with what was at the time a rookie record of 95 points with the Islanders. He was a runaway winner of the Calder Trophy with nearly 60% of the overall votes. Also in the running were teammate Glenn Resch, along with Dennis Maruk, Michel Bergeron and Mel Bridgman.

Between 1975-76 and 1993-94, Trottier appeared in 1,279 regular season and 221 playoff games with the Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins. He won six Stanley Cups, four with the Isles and two with the Pens. He has an Art Ross Trophy, Hart Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy to his name and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997.
