Well today I have a great show lined up with Kris Draper ... if by chance you're NOT sure who he is, let me share a few of his accomplishments as a hockey player;
- Drafted 62nd Overall by the Winnipeg Jets in 1989
- The only player to play and score in the NHL and the AHL before playing junior for the Ottawa 67's
- Won 2 Gold medals for Canada at the World Junior Championships back to back in 90 and 91
- Won Gold with Canada at the World Hockey Championships in 2003
- Won Gold with Canada the World Cup of Hockey in 2004
- Won 4 Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings in 1997, 1998, 2002 & 2008
- One of only 5 players to ever play more than 1000 games for the Detroit Red Wings
- Winner of the Franke Selke Trophy as the Top Defensive Forward in the NHL in 2004
Kris retired in July of 2011 and now lives in the Detroit area with his wife Julie and their 3 kids. Kris now serves as the director of amateur scouting reporting to former teammate and current GM Steve Yzerman. Most recently Kris' son Kienan was selected in in the 7th Round by the Red Wings and Kris had the honor of calling his son's name.
