Jeremy Roenick

Jeremy Shaffer Roenick (/ˈrnɪk/ ROH-nik; born January 17, 1970) is an American former professional ice hockey player who played the majority of his career in the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 8th overall in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, for whom he played from 1988 to 1996. Roenick subsequently played for the Phoenix Coyotes, Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks over the course of his 20 NHL season career. He also represented Team USA in several international tournaments. On November 10, 2007, he became the third American-born player (Joe Mullen and Mike Modano were the first two) to score 500 goals. He is one of 46 players to have scored 500 goals, but he is one of four eligible players (along with Keith Tkachuk, Pat Verbeek and Peter Bondra) to not be a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. After retiring in 2009, Roenick joined NBC Sports as a hockey analyst from 2010–2020.
