Cam Neely Quotes
A collection of quotes by Cam Neely.
Cam Neely is a former professional ice hockey player hailing from Canada, born on June 6, 1965, in Comox, British Columbia. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards in NHL history. Neely played for two teams during his NHL career, the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins.
Neely began his professional career in 1983 when he was selected ninth overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL Entry Draft. He spent three seasons with the Canucks before being traded to the Boston Bruins in 1986. With the Bruins, Neely quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with, embodying the combination of skill, finesse, and physicality that would define his career.
During his time with the Bruins, Neely became an integral part of the team's success. He was a seven-time All-Star, and in the 1993-1994 season, Neely led the league in goal-scoring. Unfortunately, his career was marred by injuries, including a battle with a chronic knee condition that ultimately forced him to retire in 1996, at the age of 31.
Despite his relatively short playing career, Neely's impact on the game was immense. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2005, well-deserved recognition for his contributions to the sport. Following his retirement, Neely transitioned to a successful career in the front office, serving as the president of the Boston Bruins since 2010.
