Bryan Trottier
Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame
Bryan Trottier has his name etched on the Stanley Cup six times as a player, four
with the great New York Islanders teams of the early eighties and twice more in the
nineties with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Bryan Trottier, the New York Islanders' second
choice in the 1974 NHL draft, set an NHL rookie record with 95 points and won the
Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie in 1976. Trottier has also collected some other
pieces of hardware during his 18-year career, earning the Art Ross and Hart Trophies
in 1979, the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1980, and the King Clancy Trophy in 1989. Trottier
scored at least 103 points in a season six times and scored a career high 50 goals
during the 1981-82 campaign as an Islander.
In addition to his scoring prowess, Trottier has also earned the reputation as being
a dependable defensive centerman. Trottier, in the later years of his career, used
his defensive skill to help the rebuilding Pittsburgh Penguins win Stanley Cup championships
in 1991 and 1992. After retiring from hockey following the 1992 Cup win, Trottier
took a front office position with the New York Islanders but returned for the 1993-94
season to play a final year with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Trottier has since coached
with the Penguins, the AHL's Portland Pirates, and most recently with the Colorado
Avalanche. In 1997 Bryan Trottier was inducted into Hockey's Hall of Fame.
