Career
Rod Brind'Amour has been selected in the NHL Entry Draft in 1988 in the first round as the ninth player from the St. Louis Blues. A year later he was taken into the NHL squad the Blues. After two years he transferred in 1991 to the Philadelphia Flyers. But the really big coup was there, too. In 1999 he went to the Carolina Hurricanes. And there he was winning the Stanley Cup very close. In the final, in 2002, he met with his team to the Detroit Red Wings after two games and led the Carolina Hurricanes already 2-0, but lost the next four games and thus the final round. The following two years were very successful, as the team missed the Playoffs. In the season 2004/ 05 the game operation failed due to the lockout. Brind'Amour joined for the time in the Switzerland to the Kloten Flyers, but completed only two games.
Go to the top of the season 2005/ 06 he was appointed captain of the Carolina Hurricanes. This season should be probably the most successful of his career. His team came in the League in third place and in the play -offs to the finals. But it seems that what happened in 2002 repeated. After a 3-1 lead for Carolina Edmonton equalized to 3:3, but in the decisive seventh game they could win the Stanley Cup. Also, Rod Brind'Amour was awarded the Frank J. Selke Trophy, which is awarded to the striker with the best defensive qualities.
On 4 November 2006, he scored with an assist against the Ottawa Senators the 1000th point in his career. On 18 February 2011 the Carolina Hurricanes locked his shirt number 17 to 2011/12 season he was engaged by the Carolina Hurricanes assistant coach.
