Stephen Gregory Yzerman[1] (/ˈaɪzərmən/EYE-zər-mən; born May 9, 1965) is aCanadian former professionalhockey player who is currently the executive vice president and general manager of theDetroit Red Wings, where he spent all 22 seasons of his NHL playing career. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, he is a Detroit sports icon and a member of theHockey Hall of Fame.[2] After his retirement as a player, he served in the front office of the Red Wings, and then as general manager of theTampa Bay Lightning, while also being executive director forTeam Canada in two Olympics.
Prior to the1986–87 season, at age 21, Yzerman was namedcaptain of the Red Wings and continuously served for the next two decades (dressing as captain for over 1,300 games), retiring as the longest-serving captain of any team in North American major league sports history. Once voted to be the most popular athlete inDetroit sports history, locals often simply refer to Yzerman as "Stevie Y", "Stevie Wonder", or "The Captain".[3][4][5] Yzerman led the Wings to fivefirst-place regular season finishes and threeStanley Cup championships (1997,1998, and2002). He retired in 2006 amongst the NHL leaders in total career points and went on to a further career in NHL and international management.
Yzerman won numerous awards during his career, including theLester B. Pearson Award (Most outstanding player) in the1988–89 season, theConn Smythe Trophy (Most Valuable Player of the Stanley Cup playoffs) in1998, theSelke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward in2000 and theBill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance in2003. He played in tenAll-Star Games, and was afirst team All-Star in 2000 and a member of theAll-Rookie Team in1984.
Yzerman has represented his country in several international tournaments as a member ofCanada's national hockey team (Team Canada). In2002, Yzerman won an Olympic gold medal, making him one of few players to win an Olympic gold medal and the Stanley Cup in the same year. Yzerman was the general manager of Team Canada for the2007 IIHF World Championship, which they won. Yzerman was appointed executive director of Team Canada on October 7, 2008, for the2010 Winter Olympics.[6] Team Canada went on to win the gold medal by defeating theUnited States. Yzerman was again appointed executive director of Team Canada on March 5, 2012, for the2014 Winter Olympics.[7] Canada went on to win their second-straight gold medal after defeatingSweden.[8] He was inducted into theIIHF Hall of Fame in 2014.
Yzerman was born inCranbrook,British Columbia.[9] As a youth, he played in the 1977Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with aminor ice hockey team fromNepean, Ontario.[10] He attendedBell High School and played for his hometownNepean Raiders Junior A hockey team. After one season with the Raiders, thePeterborough Petes of theOntario Hockey League (OHL) drafted him, and he playedcentre for the Petes from1981 to1983.[11]
The1983 NHL entry draft was the first forMike andMarian Ilitch, who had purchased the Detroit Red Wings in the summer of 1982.Jim Devellano, the Red Wings' general manager at the time, wanted to draftPat LaFontaine, who had grown up outside Detroit and played his junior hockey in the area. However, when theNew York Islanders selected LaFontaine third overall, Devellano "settled" on Yzerman, drafting him fourth.[12][13]
The Red Wings were prepared to send Yzerman back to Peterborough for one more year, but "after one (training camp) session, you knew he was a tremendous hockey player", saidKen Holland, the former Red Wings general manager who was then a minor league goaltender for the Wings during Yzerman's rookie training camp.[11][14] Yzerman tallied 39 goals and 87 points in his rookie season and finished second inCalder Memorial Trophy voting.[11] That season, Yzerman also became the first 18-year-old and youngest player to play in anNHL All-Star Game (18 years, 267 days) since the current format was adopted in 1969. This stood as an NHL record for 27 years untilJeff Skinner broke it by eight days.[15]
Following the departure of Red Wings captainDanny Gare during the1985–86 season, Red Wings head coachJacques Demers named Yzerman captain of the team on October 7, 1986, making him the youngest captain in the team's history.[16] Demers said he "wanted a guy with the Red Wings crest tattooed on his chest".[17] Duringthe next season, Yzerman scored his then-career high 50th goal against theBuffalo Sabres on March 1, 1988. However, during the same game, Yzerman suffered a knee injury which caused him to miss the rest of the regular season.[5][18] Despite his absence, the Red Wings would win their first division title in 23 years.[19]
During the1988–89 season, Yzerman recorded 155 points (65 goals and 90 assists), finishing third in regular season scoring behindMario Lemieux andWayne Gretzky. He won theLester B. Pearson Award, the MVP as voted by theNational Hockey League Players' Association, and was a finalist for theHart Memorial Trophy, the MVP as voted by the NHL writers.[11]
WhenScotty Bowman took over as head coach in1993, Yzerman initially chafed under Bowman's stern coaching style. Bowman, for his part, felt that Yzerman was not concentrating enough on defence; Bowman had long expected his forwards to be good back-checkers as well. Relations between the two became so strained that at one point, the Red Wings seriously considered trading him to theOttawa Senators.[20] However, Yzerman gradually became a better defender and was considered one of the best two-way forwards in the history of the game.[11]
In1995, Yzerman led Detroit to its first appearance in theStanley Cup Finals since1966, but the Red Wings were swept by theNew Jersey Devils.[21][22] The next season saw Detroit finish with a then NHL-record 62 regular season wins and were heavily favoured to win the Stanley Cup.[23] Yzerman scored perhaps the most memorable goal of his career in the1996 playoffs, stealing the puck from Wayne Gretzky and beatingSt. Louis Blues goaltenderJon Casey with a slap shot from the blue line to win the Western Conference Semifinals in double overtime of Game 7.[24] However, the Red Wings fell short of their ultimate goal, losing in six games to theColorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals.[23]
In1997, Yzerman put to rest all doubts of his ability to lead a team to a championship as Detroit won its first Stanley Cup in 42 years after sweeping thePhiladelphia Flyers. The following year, Detroit repeated the feat, sweeping theWashington Capitals and winning their second consecutive Cup title. Yzerman earned theConn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. He handed the Cup first toVladimir Konstantinov, who had been severely injured in a car accident just six days after the Cup victory in 1997 and was using a wheelchair.[11][25]
On November 26, 1999, Yzerman became the 11th player in NHL history to score 600 goals.[11][26] In 2000, he made theNHL All-Star first team and won theFrank J. Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive forward.[11]
In2001–02, Yzerman re-aggravated a knee injury, forcing him to miss 30 regular season games, though nonetheless still finished sixth in team scoring.[27][28] Yzerman's knee greatly pained him during the2002 playoffs, but this did not stop him from leading the Red Wings from an early 2–0 deficit in their opening round series to defeat theVancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues en route to Detroit's fifth playoff series with Colorado, and the third time the two teams had battled to decide the Western Conference Championship.[11][29] Detroit defeated Colorado in a seven-game series and moved on to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they defeated theCarolina Hurricanes to win their tenth Stanley Cup championship in their history.[11][29] Rather than raising the Stanley Cup first, Yzerman passed the Cup to head coach Scotty Bowman, who announced his retirement following the game.[30]
During the offseason, Yzerman underwent a knee realignment surgery known as anosteotomy.[31] He missed the first 61 games of the2002–03 season, but returned on February 24, 2003, at home against theLos Angeles Kings.[32] After the season, Yzerman won theBill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance.[33]
On May 1, 2004, Yzerman was hit in the eye by a deflected slapshot by theCalgary Flames defencemanRhett Warrener in aplayoff game, breaking hisorbital bone and scratching hiscornea.[34][35][36] Yzerman underwent eye surgery following the incident, and was sidelined for the remainder of the 2004 playoffs.[37] The eye injury also forced Yzerman to miss the2004 World Cup of Hockey.[38]Joe Thornton (then of theBoston Bruins) andJoe Sakic (Colorado), who each wore the number 19 for their respective NHL clubs and who were now eligible to wear it for team Canada due to Yzerman's enforced absence, both refused the number out of respect for their injured countryman.[39] Yzerman returned in the2005–06 season, following the2004–05 NHL lockout, wearing a visor.[40]

On August 2, 2005, Yzerman signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings; this was his last contract signed as a player.[41] On March 31, 2006, he scored his 691st NHL career goal, passing Mario Lemieux for eighth place all-time.[27][42] Yzerman's humility was evident in an interview prior to his achievement when he was quoted saying, "I don't really know the significance. If anything, it shows how good [Lemieux] is; he played almost five years less than I did."[43] He scored his final NHL goal, the 692nd of his career, on April 3, 2006, in a game against the Calgary Flames.[11] Yzerman played his last professional hockey game on May 1, 2006, a loss to theEdmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the first round of the2006 playoffs and knocking Detroit out of the playoffs.[27][44]
On July 3, 2006, Yzerman announced his retirement from the NHL.[45] Shortly afterwards,Sports Illustrated published a special commemorative edition dedicated to Yzerman entitled "Yzerman: A Salute to Stevie Y."[46] He finished his career ranked as thesixth all-time leading scorer in NHL history, having scored a career-high 155 points (65 goals and 90 assists) in1988–89, which has been bettered only byWayne Gretzky andMario Lemieux. Yzerman's #19 jersey was retired on January 2, 2007, during apre-game ceremony atJoe Louis Arena in Detroit. On November 4, 2008, he was inducted intoCanada's Sports Hall of Fame. He also became an honoured member of the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009, his first year of eligibility, inducted alongside 2001–02 Red Wing teammatesBrett Hull andLuc Robitaille.[47] In 2017, Yzerman was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players" in history.[48]
Yzerman holds the NHL record as the longest-serving captain of a single team – he spent 19 seasons and 1,303 games wearing the "C".[49][50][51][52] In addition to being eighth all-time in NHL regular-season goals and sixth in overall scoring, Yzerman finished his career seventh all-time in regular season assists and eighth in all-time playoff scoring.[11] He also ranks second in nearly every significant offensive category in Red Wings history behindGordie Howe, except for assists – Yzerman has 1,063 assists to Howe's 1,020. At the time of his retirement, only Howe (1,687 games) andAlex Delvecchio (1,550 games) had played more games as a Red Wing than Yzerman's 1,514. He is now fourth in games played for the franchise, behind Howe, Delvecchio, andNicklas Lidström (1,564 games), who was his teammate for the final 12 seasons of his career.[53]
On September 25, 2006, the Red Wings named Yzerman team vice-president and alternate governor.[27][54] He won a fourth Stanley Cup championship as an executive in2007–08.[55][56] In May 2010, he left the Red Wings organization to become general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, serving in that capacity until September 2018. On April 19, 2019, Yzerman was named the general manager of the Red Wings.
On January 2, 2007, the Red Wings retired Yzerman's jersey #19 before a game against theAnaheim Ducks.[57] As an additional honour, the captain's "C" was added to the corner of his banner to forever commemorate him as "The Captain". The official retirement ceremony was hosted by Yzerman's long-time friend, former NHL goaltender andESPN hockey analystDarren Pang, and featured such Red Wing luminaries as Gordie Howe,Ted Lindsay, Alex Delvecchio and Scotty Bowman. For the ceremony, active Red Wings players wore Yzerman throwback jerseys representing the Red Wings, Team Canada (Canada won gold at the 2002Salt Lake CityWinter Olympic Games), the Campbell Conference All-Star team and thePeterborough Petes. Former teammate Vladimir Konstantinov attended the ceremony, walking across the ice for the first time without a wheelchair since his last game in the 1997 playoffs.[58]
On January 2, 2007, Yzerman was presented thekey to the city of Detroit byMayorKwame Kilpatrick at a luncheon prior to the jersey retirement ceremony.[59] On January 13, 2007,Governor of MichiganJennifer Granholm, anotherCanadian–American, visited Detroit and the Joe Louis Arena and proclaimed the day as "Steve Yzerman Day" in Michigan.[60]
On January 11, 2008, when the Red Wings visitedOttawa to play the Senators, Yzerman was inducted into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame.[61] Yzerman received another honour when he was inducted into theMichigan Sports Hall of Fame on February 11, 2008.[62]
On June 23, 2009, it was announced that Yzerman would be inducted into theHockey Hall of Fame. He was honoured during the November 6–9 induction weekend alongside his former Red Wings teammates Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille, as well asBrian Leetch.[63]
Yzerman had expressed his desire to run a team while with the Red Wings front office since the latter part of his playing career, and had gained experience in running a team through his work withHockey Canada, having assembled several rosters between 2007 and 2010 for Hockey Canada.[64] However, after both general managerKen Holland and assistant general managerJim Nill received contract extensions, it became clear that the opportunity would not happen with the Red Wings.[65] It was later reported byThe Detroit News in 2016 that Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch attempted to promote Holland to make room for Yzerman to become the team's general manager, but Holland declined the promotion.[66]
Not long after Ken Holland received his contract extension,Craig Leipold, owner of theMinnesota Wild, andJeffrey Vinik, the then-new owner of theTampa Bay Lightning, sought to hire Yzerman as general manager. After turning down the Minnesota job before the2009–10 season concluded,[67] Yzerman accepted the Lightning job and was named the team's new vice-president and general manager on May 25, 2010.[64][68] In the off-season, and early in his new reign, he re-signedMartin St. Louis, signed defencemanPavel Kubina for his second tenure with the team, signedfree agentgoaltenderDan Ellis to a two-year contract, signed defencemanBrett Clark and brought in left-wingerSimon Gagné in a trade that sawMatt Walker and a fourth-round pick in2011 depart Tampa Bay.[69] In the middle of the season, he also traded for goaltenderDwayne Roloson as the Lightning progressed to the Eastern Conference Finals just one year after the team had not even qualified for the2010 playoffs.[70][71] For his part, Yzerman was nominated for theNHL General Manager of the Year Award, losing out to Vancouver'sMike Gillis.[72]
While the Lightning would miss the playoffs in each of the next two seasons, Yzerman would draftNikita Kucherov,Andrei Vasilevskiy,Brayden Point,Ondřej Palát,Anthony Cirelli, andCal Foote, signed undrafted playersTyler Johnson andYanni Gourde, and acquireRyan McDonagh,Mikhail Sergachev, andErik Černák via trade as future cornerstone roster pieces. The team would reach theStanley Cup Finals in 2015, where they were defeated by theChicago Blackhawks.[73] On June 24, 2015, Yzerman won the NHL General Manager of the Year Award; he was the first Lightning general manager to receive the honor. The team built by Yzerman set franchise records with 50 wins and 108 points during the regular season, and also led the league with 262 goals and 32 home wins.[74]
In the2017–18 season, the Lightning finished in first place in theAtlantic Division and made it to the Eastern Conference Finals before losing to the Washington Capitals.[75][76] On September 11, 2018, with one year remaining on his contract, Yzerman announced that he would not be re-signing as the Lightning general manager, but would remain with the team as a senior advisor. Yzerman was succeeded by assistant general managerJulien BriseBois.[77]

On April 19, 2019, the Red Wings announced that Yzerman had been hired as general manager of the team, while the existing general manager, Ken Holland, was promoted to a senior vice president role,[78] though Holland would soon depart the organization and become the general manager and president of hockey operations of theEdmonton Oilers.[79][80]
On January 30, 2007, Hockey Canada named Yzerman the general manager of Team Canada for the2007 IIHF World Championship inMoscow (April 27 – May 13), where the team beatFinland 4–2 on May 13 to win the Championship.[81][82]
On October 18, 2008, Yzerman was named executive director for the Canadian men's hockey team at the2010 Winter Olympics.[83] The Canadian team he put together went on to win the gold, the first gold won by a home team in ice hockey since the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team.[84][85] Yzerman said he would consider coming back as head of the Canadian team in 2014. Yzerman went on saying, "I loved it, but it was very stressful. Given the chance to represent Canada and be the guy in charge, if somebody offered it to me, I didn't hesitate the first time, I wouldn't hesitate again."[86]
In 2012, Yzerman was named executive director for the Canadian men's hockey team at the2014 Winter Olympics.[7] The Canadian team he put together went on to win their second straight gold medal for the first time since 1948 and 1952.[87] They also became the first country to accomplish the feat since theSoviet Union/Unified Team won three consecutive gold medals in 1984, 1988, and 1992.[88][89][90] Following Canada's 3–0 victory overSweden in the gold medal game, Yzerman announced that he would not return as the executive director for Canada for the2018 Winter Olympics.[91]

Yzerman was considered a leading candidate for the captaincy of Team Canada in 1998, along with Wayne Gretzky andRay Bourque. Yzerman had led the Detroit Red Wings to the Stanley Cup during the previous season and was one of the longest-serving team captains. However, general managerBobby Clarke instead selectedEric Lindros.[94]
In late 2005, after Yzerman ruled himself out of a third Olympic appearance, Wayne Gretzky announced that no one would be allowed to wear jersey #19 for Canada for the 2006 Olympics in Yzerman's honour (#19 was later "unretired" by Yzerman when he managed Team Canada for the 2010 Olympics).[95][96]
Yzerman and his wife Lisa Brennan have three daughters.[97] They reside inBloomfield Hills, Michigan. Yzerman resided inHillsborough County, Florida, during his tenure with the Lightning. Yzerman has acquirednaturalized United States citizenship as a result of his many years of residence in Michigan.[98]
Yzerman was born in Cranbrook, B.C., but raised mainly in Nepean, Ontario. Not far from where Yzerman grew up, theNepean Sportsplex named one of its indoor ice surfaces theSteve Yzerman Arena in 1997 in his honour.[99] This is the home rink of theCCHL'sNepean Raiders, the Tier II Junior "A" team Yzerman played on during the 1980–81 season.[11][100] The Raiders currently play in the Yzerman Division.[101]
The CCHL divisions are named the Robinson and Yzerman Divisions after two of its most prominent alumni, Yzerman andLarry Robinson.[101]
