Andrew Raycroft

Andrew Joseph Ernest Raycroft nicknamed Razor (born May 4, 1980) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender and current media personality.

Originally drafted by the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL) 135th overall in 1998, he won the Calder Memorial Trophy with the club in 2004 as rookie of the year.

Raycroft has also played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks, Dallas Stars, Hockey Milano Rossoblu and IF Björklöven.

Raycroft is currently a rinkside and studio analyst for the Boston Bruins broadcasts on NESN and a host on the hockey podcast Morning Bru with Jaffe & Razor.

After the Bruins renewed his contract on July 31, 2003,[1] Raycroft played his first full NHL season in 2003–04, compiling a 29–18–9 record with a 2.05 goals against average (GAA), .926 save percentage and three shutouts.

He helped lead the Bruins to a second-place finish in the regular season in the Eastern Conference en route to the 2004 Stanley Cup playoffs.

The following off-season, on June 24, 2006, Raycroft was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for the rights to Finnish goaltending prospect Tuukka Rask.

On July 3, 2012, with little NHL interest and an impending lockout on the horizon, Raycroft left his North American career to begin a new venture in Europe by signing to a one-year deal with Italian Serie A club, Milano Rossoblu.
