Mark Recchi

Mark Louis Recchi (born February 1, 1968) is the player development coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins and a retired Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played 22 years in the National Hockey League. Recchi was a member of three Stanley Cup-winning teams, the 1991 Pittsburgh Penguins, the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes and the 2011 Boston Bruins. In Game 2 of the 2011 Finals, he became the oldest player ever to score in a Stanley Cup Finals series.

Playing career

Recchi played his junior hockey for the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League. His number 8 was retired by the team shortly after he left for the NHL. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins, first playing in the NHL 1988, and was a key player on their Stanley Cup winning team in 1991.

The following season he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers as part of a deal that brought Rick Tocchet and Kjell Samuelsson to Pittsburgh. He played for Philadelphia from 1992 to 1995 as part of the "Crazy Eights" line with Eric Lindros and Brent Fedyk, including a 53-goal, 70-assist, 123-point season in 1992–93, still the Flyers single-season point scoring record. In 1995, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in a deal for Éric Desjardins, Gilbert Dionne and John LeClair, but was reacquired by the Flyers for the 1998–99 season, and was consistently among their top scorers.

Famous quotes by Mark Recchi:

"They're going to have to grow that identity with some younger players and some of the veteran guys that they brought in to fill that void. You know, the one thing obviously in Jersey is Marty is there. That's a huge reason why they've been successful for so long, as well."
"He's a sponge right now. He's just trying to take everything in, and that's unbelievable for a young guy that's had all the accolades he's had up to this point. It'd be pretty easy for him to go the other way, but he's not. He's such a great kid."
"Staal is one of the premier young players in this league. It's fun working with him."
"I'm just looking forward to getting into a little routine here in Carolina. I really haven't had a chance to do that."
"It's nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us."
"We know it's a wonderful chance for us."
"You don't want to let these guys down in the dressing room. You want to show them you're worth whatever they gave up and help this team do whatever it takes to get to that next level."
"We played a pretty decent game and to lose like that at the end is tough. But we got a point. Look at the positives and make sure we stay focused on the right things and move forward from this."
"It was very exciting for us. I get one more crack at it. That's what we play for. I just wanted a chance to get back there and raise it one more time."
"Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference."
