Roderic Jean Brind'Amour is a Canadian former professional ice hockey centre and the current assistant and development coach of the Carolina Hurricanes. A centreman during his career, Brind'Amour played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League for the St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes. He captained the Hurricanes to the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship in 2006.
Brind'Amour was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers with Dan Quinn in exchange for Murray Baron and Ron Sutter following the 1990–91 season. He spent his years in Philadelphia as an alternate to captain Kevin Dineen and then Eric Lindros, filling in as captain and wearing the "C" when the latter was out of the lineup. It was there that he started his reputation of being one of the best shutdown centres of the NHL. This has culminated into a Selke Trophy later awarded to him as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006 and again in 2007. When the Flyers faced the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the 1997 playoffs, Brind'Amour scored two short-handed goals during a single power play. The Flyers made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, which they lost to the Detroit Red Wings. During his stint with Philadelphia, Brind'Amour was considered one of the League's "ironmen," with a consecutive games streak of 484 played, a Flyers franchise record.
Following his return from an ankle injury during the 1999–2000 season, Brind'Amour was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes with Jean-Marc Pelletier in exchange for Keith Primeau. Additionally, Brind'Amour was one-third of Carolina's "BBC Line," also featuring Bates Battaglia and Erik Cole, during the Hurricanes’ run to the Finals in 2002. Brind'Amour was named captain of the Hurricanes before the 2005–06 season. Brind'Amour won his first and only Stanley Cup on June 19, 2006, with the Hurricanes, defeating the Edmonton Oilers in the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals in seven games. During subsequent off-season, Brind'Amour re-signed with the Hurricanes with a five-year contract extension. In December 2006, Brind'Amour recorded his 1,000th career NHL point, and in February 2007, he scored his 400th career goal. On February 14, 2008, in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Brind'Amour tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the first period, ending his season. However, Brind'Amour would return for the 2008–09 season, playing in 80 games while recording 16 goals and 35 assists as the Hurricanes reached the Eastern Conference Finals. On January 20, 2010, Brind'Amour was replaced as Hurricanes captain by Eric Staal, previously an alternate captain. Brind'Amour then served as an alternate captain for the remainder of the season. Following the conclusion of the season, Brind'Amour retired from professional hockey, having played 1,484 career NHL games, where he then moved into Hurricanes' management as a director of forwards development. His number 17 jersey was retired in a ceremony on February 18, 2011. The ceremony took place prior to a game against the Philadelphia Flyers, which at the time was coached by Peter Laviolette. Thus, ironically the two teams Brind'Amour spent the bulk of his career with, as well as the coach he won the Stanley Cup with, were present to honour him. It is the third number to be officially retired by the Hurricanes since moving to Raleigh, North Carolina, after Glen Wesley's number 2 and Ron Francis' number 10; all three retired players continue to work within the organization. Brind'Amour was among the last few players in the NHL who had also played in the League during the 1980s. At the time of his retirement, he finished his professional career 18th in all-time NHL games played.
On June 7, 2011, Brind'Amour was introduced by the Hurricanes as their assistant coach and development coach.[5] He will retain his role in developing the franchise's forwards while also spending time behind the bench in the NHL. Brind'Amour represented the Hurricanes in a ceremony before the Charlotte Checkers' first home game as Carolina's new American Hockey League affiliate.
