Dave Andreychuck is an NHL Hall-of-Famer who finally won his Stanley Cup in 2003-04 with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He is widely regarded as one of the toughest players during his era and was a mainstay on the power play unit where he racked up many of his goals and points.
Andreychuk went 22 years without being on a Stanley Cup championship team, tying the NHL record with Ray Bourque for the longest career before doing so. In the 2003-04 NHL season, Andreychuk and the Lightning defeated the Calgary Flames in seven games to win the Cup at last, in front of their home crowd.
On January 10, 2006, Andreychuk was waived by the Lightning, bringing an end to his career.
On October 1, 2006, Dave Andreychuk rejoined the Tampa Bay Lightning as a Community Representative.
He is one of the highest scoring left wingers in NHL history.
