Jeremy Roenick

Jeremy Roenick has paved his way to Ice Hockey stardom as a nine-time NHL All-Star and also a two-time member of the U.S Olympics Ice Hockey Team – making his name known of professional and international levels. Growing up in Boston, it was Thayer Academy in Massachusetts that honed Roenick’s craft, taking the team to victory in two high school championships before going on to represent the United States in the 1988 national junior team. It was clear that this young talent had a bright future ahead of him.

Drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks straight out of high school, Roenick continued to balance club sport with international – continuing to represent the 1989 US National Junior Team the following year as well as making the Blackhawks main lineup at the impressive age of 19. The following years were incredibly good to Roenick and any of his fans, the ice star put up more than 100 points from 1991 to 1994 – Roenick really meant business. After 8 fruitful years with the Chicago Blackhawks including a Stanley Cup final and 18 points in 20 playoff games, Roenick transferred to the Phoenix Coyotes where he continued to impress over a further 5 seasons – becoming the only player in history to led his team in goals, assists, points and penalty minutes, in two different seasons! A truly incredible feit and one that has made him so enviable within ice hockey circles.

Roenick went on to compete in the US Olympics in 1998 and 2002, earning a silver medal in the latter and an astonishing 23 goals and 25 assists. Spending his penultimate days at the Philadelphia Flyers before a few sporadic years as Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks and the Kings – Roenick hung up his hockey skates with a total of 513 goals, finishing as the second highest American-born goal scorer in NHL history.
