Dion Phaneuf
Dion Phaneuf was selected ninth overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. He quickly established himself as one of the league’s top young defensemen, finishing third for the Calder Trophy (Rookie of the Year) in his debut season.
During his tenure with the Flames, he became renowned for his hard hits and ability to quarterback the power play. In 2010, Phaneuf was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he was soon named team captain.
After the Leafs, Phaneuf had stints with the Ottawa Senators and Los Angeles Kings. His time with the Senators included a deep playoff run in 2017, where the team reached the Eastern Conference Finals.
