Details

In 1972-73, Peter McNab finished sixth in NCAA scoring with 32 goals and 40 assists for 72 points in 38 games for the University of Denver Pioneers. The team’s participation in the NCAA Championships, however, comes with a big asterisk.

Denver lost in the championship to Wisconsin, 4-2. Peter McNab was named to the All-Tournament Team. But, after the tournament, Denver was vacated from the results after some recruiting violations came to the surface.

There is an error on this hockey card. McNab was never awarded the Dudley Red Garrett Memorial Award as American Hockey League rookie of the year. He did have an outstanding season with the Cincinnati Swords in his only AHL season, 1973-74. He led the team with 73 points in just 49 games.

Peter played 954 regular season and 107 playoff games in the NHL between 1973-74 and 1986-87 with the Buffalo Sabres, Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils. He finished with 363 goals and had six consecutive seasons with the Bruins where he scored 35 or more. He topped out with 41 goals in 1977-78.

Max McNab

Peter’s father, Max McNab, was general manager of the Washington Capitals from 1976-77 to 1980-81. He then took over as GM of the New Jersey Devils from 1983-84 to 1986-87. He played parts of four seasons in the NHL from 1947-48 to 1950-51 with the Detroit Red Wings.

Despite his short time in the NHL as a player, Max went to the Stanley Cup final with Detroit in 1948-49 before losing to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The following year, 1949-50, the Red Wings were in the final again, this time beating the Montreal Canadiens for the championship.
