Eric Staal, NHL Alumni

This month’s player spotlight is on NHL alumni, Eric Staal. Eric’s impressive career includes over 1,300 NHL games, over 1,000 NHL points and six NHL All-Star Game appearances. On a team level, Eric’s success is even more impressive. Eric’s Olympic and World Championship gold medals along-side his 2006 Stanley Cup Championship made him the 23rd member of the Triple Gold Club. Earlier this month, Eric’s number twelve was retired by the Carolina Hurricanes, honouring his commitment and success with the franchise. Watch the fantastic tribute video prepared by the Hurricanes.
