His stats and awards are unmatched for a Red Wings player.Whether you know him as the player and captain of the Red Wings, the GM for the Tampa Bay Lightning, or the executive director for Canada’s Olympic team, you can celebrate the amazing hockey career with a Steve Yzerman jersey.NHL DebutSteve Yzerman was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 1983.
He scored 39 goals his rookie season and became the first 18-year-old to play in the NHL all-star game.He was so amazing at such a young age, this leads to him breaking many previously held records.
This would make him the youngest captain in Detroit history.Early YearsSteve Yzerman spent many years putting up great numbers, but could never quite win that championship.
He scored his career-high 50th goal in 1998, but he couldn’t add to his totals that year because he suffered a major injury that made him miss the rest of the season.
He came back with a vengeance the very next year and beat his career-high by 15 goals.
