Troy Brouwer
Troy Brouwer (born August 17, 1985) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey winger. He played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Capitals, Calgary Flames, Florida Panthers and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Blackhawks selected him in the seventh round, 214th overall in the 2004 NHL entry draft.
He was a member of the Stanley Cup-winning Blackhawks in 2010.
Brouwer was educated at North Delta Secondary School. He was drafted 214th overall in the 2004 NHL entry draft by the Chicago Blackhawks. Brouwer spent his major junior career in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Moose Jaw Warriors. In his final year with the Warriors in 2005–06, he was named team captain and led Moose Jaw with a team-high 49 goals and 53 assists. Brouwer's 102 points also led the league in points, by which he was awarded the Bob Clarke Trophy.
Brouwer was assigned to the Norfolk Admirals, the Blackhawks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate in 2006–07, where he recorded 79 points and was named to the AHL All-Rookie and Second All-Star Team. He also made his NHL debut that season, playing 10 games with the Blackhawks. As a Blackhawk, Brouwer joined three of his previous minor hockey teammates, Colin Fraser, Brent Seabrook and Andrew Ladd from his Vancouver team, the Pacific Vipers.
In the 2007–08 season, Brouwer was again in the AHL with the Rockford IceHogs, Chicago's newly assigned AHL affiliate. Although his production dropped to 54 points in 75 games, he scored a franchise-record 25 power play goals, just two shy of the league record.[citation needed] Recalled by the Blackhawks for a short two-game stint, Brouwer recorded his first NHL point, an assist on March 23, 2008, against the St. Louis Blues.
The 2009–10 season saw a huge improvement in Brouwer's performance, where he scored 22 goals and 40 points in 78 games that season as the Blackhawks finished as the second seed in the West and third in the league overall. In the 2010 playoffs, Brouwer played in four goals and assists for eight points in 19 games for the Blackhawks as the Blackhawks defeated the seventh-seeded Nashville Predators in six games, the third-seeded Vancouver Canucks in six games for the second consecutive year and swept the top-seeded San Jose Sharks in the first three rounds before the Blackhawks defeated the seventh-seeded Philadelphia Flyers in six games the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals.
On April 5, 2011, in a 2–1 OT loss against the Montreal Canadiens, Brouwer suffered a shoulder injury when he unsuccessfully tried to deliver a check to Canadiens' forward Lars Eller, resulting in Brouwer leaving the game and missing the final three games. Prior to his injury, Brouwer continued to put up decent numbers for the Blackhawks despite being tenth in scoring on the team as he ended with 17 goals and 19 assists for 36 points in the first 79 games of the 2010–11 season as the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks barely qualified for the playoffs as the eighth and final seed. Despite not being fully healed, Brouwer returned in time for the start of the playoffs. In the opening round of the 2011 playoffs, the Blackhawks would fall in seven games to the Presidents' Trophy-winning Vancouver Canucks and Brouwer would finish the series pointless in all seven games. After the Blackhawks elimination, it was revealed that Brouwer suffered a torn labrum sometime in the previous 2009–10 Stanley Cup-winning season and had been playing through it the entire 2010–11 season and it was aggravated in the game against the Canadiens and underwent surgery to repair the injury.
On June 24, 2011, Brouwer was traded to the Washington Capitals for Washington's first round pick in the 2011 NHL entry draft. On July 6, Brouwer signed a two-year, $4.7 million contract with the Capitals.
