NHL
retiree|
|
Craig Wolanin, who was known for his physical play and his defensive prowess throughout his career, was chosen in the first round, 3rd overall pick, by the New Jersey Devils in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. In his rookie season with the Devils, Wolanin suited up for 44 games, scoring two goals and 16 assists with 74 minutes in penalties. Wolanin was eventually sent to the Quebec Nordiques during the 1989-90 season. In four seasons with the Nordiques, and given his large size, Wolanin became very effective at clearing out opposing players from in front of the net. Wolanin was a member of the Stanley Cup championship team with the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96. After a short 15-game stint with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Wolanin joined the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1996-97 season, where he stayed for nearly a year. His professional hockey career lasted another 16 games into the 1998-99 season with the Detroit Vipers of the IHL. |
