Brian Leetch played in the NHL for 18 years, primarily for the New York Rangers (1988-2004) but also the Toronto Maple Leafs (2003-2004) and Boston Bruins (2005-2006). Considered one of the best defenders in the history of the NHL, Leetch twice was the recipient of the Norris Trophy in 1992 and 1997 as the NHL’s top defenseman. He additionally won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1994 as MVP of the playoffs after helping lead a Rangers team that featured future Hall of Famers Mark Messier and Glenn Anderson to a Stanley Cup title. Leetch was also strong offensively, evidenced by his scoring a league record 23 points for a rookie defenseman during his first full season in the NHL in 1988-1989 and winning the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie. He also became one of just five defensemen in league history to score at least 100 points in a single season when he achieved the feat with 102 points during the 1991-1992 season.
Leetch was six times named MVP of the Rangers and had his jersey #2 retired by the team in 2008. He became a member of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008 and Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009. In 2017, he was named during the NHL’s 100-year anniversary celebration to its list of 100 Greatest NHL Players of all-time. Born on March 3, 1968, Leetch grew up in Chesire, Connecticut. He played collegiately at Boston College for one season before representing the United States at the 1988 Winter Olympics (he also played in the 1998 and 2002 Olympics, winning a silver the latter year). Leetch made his NHL debut on February 29, 1988.
