Michael Joseph McPhee (born July 14, 1960) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey forward. He was selected in the sixth round, 124th overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft and won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens in 1986. McPhee also played for the Minnesota North Stars and Dallas Stars.

Playing career

McPhee began his professional career with the Nova Scotia Voyageurs of the American Hockey League (AHL), after being selected in the sixth-round (124th overall) of the 1980 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens.[1]

He began his National Hockey League (NHL) career with Montreal in 1984 and was a member of their 1986 Stanley Cup winning team. Collectively, his best production output came during the 1987-88 season where, with linemates Guy Carbonneau and Russ Courtnall, he scored 23 goals and 43 points. The following season, McPhee would take part in the only NHL All-Star Game of his career. He was also a three-time winner of the Jacques Beauchamp Molson Trophy as the Canadiens' unsung hero.[2]

McPhee was traded to the Minnesota North Stars on August 14, 1992, in exchange for a 5th round pick in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. While in Minnesota, he was a favourite of head coach/former teammate Bob Gainey, who rewarded McPhee for his two-way style, which was similar to his own.[3]

When the North Stars relocated to Dallas prior to the 1993–94 season, McPhee continued to thrive while playing his defensive game. Unfortunately, he would be forced to retire that offseason due to a recurring knee injury.[4]

Personal life

Born on July 14, 1960, in Sydney, Nova Scotia to parents Stan and Monica, McPhee grew up in the small community of River Bourgeois, Nova Scotia.

McPhee earned a civil engineering degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), where he was a standout player for the Engineers before making his professional debut in 1982. After retiring from the NHL, he attended the University of Dallas where he received his MBA distinction[5] and currently works as a financial advisor for the National Bank of Canada in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

He and wife Jane Anne have two children, Aly (b.1989) and Adam (b.1987). The former was a track and field athlete at McGill University and won six gold medals and a silver in five meets during the 2007 season. She also competed for Team Nova Scotia at the 2005 Canada Summer Games and 2006 Canadian Junior Track and Field Championships.[6]
