Did You Know???<br />
Players who play <strong>for</strong> one team <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir entire career are rare <strong>the</strong>se days. But two players went to <strong>the</strong> extreme to counter this. Goalie Rick Tabaracci <br />
played <strong>for</strong> six different teams in one season (1999-‐2000), ping ponging between <strong>the</strong> NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers and Colorado Avalanche, <strong>the</strong> IHL’s <br />
Cleveland Lumberjacks, Orlando Solar Bears and Utah Grizzlies, and Canada’s World Hockey Championship team. During his career, Mike Sillinger <br />
played <strong>for</strong> 12 different NHL teams (Detroit, Columbus, NY Islanders, St. Louis, Nashville, Vancouver, Anaheim, Tampa, Philadelphia, Florida, Phoenix <br />
and Ottawa). Oddly, he never earned a nickname <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> likes <strong>of</strong> Gary ‘Suitcase’ Smith or Sergei ‘Samsonite’ Samsonov.<br />
