Brad Shaw

Bradley William Shaw (born April 28, 1964) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player.

He was a member of the 1989 NHL All-Rookie Team and twice won the Eddie Shore Award as the American Hockey League's best defenceman.

In his rookie season, Shaw led all 67's defencemen with 72 points, scoring 13 goals and adding 59 assists in 68 games, helping Ottawa into the playoffs.

In 17 playoff games, Shaw scored a goal and 14 points,[2] as the 67's were swept by the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL finals.

In nine playoff games, Shaw scored two goals and 11 points,[2] as the 67's lost to the Oshawa Generals in the Leyden Division finals.

In 1983–84, Shaw once again improved his offense, scoring 11 goals and 82 points in 68 games, helping the 67's to have the best record in the Leyden Division that season.

However, Binghamton cut Shaw too and he was reassigned to the Salt Lake Golden Eagles of the International Hockey League (IHL).

Shaw refused assignment and left the team, hoping to play at Wilfrid Laurier University.

[8] Shaw recorded his first NHL point with an assist on Sylvain Turgeon's goal in an 8–2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on February 23.

[10] Shaw was recalled by Hartford and made his 1986–87 NHL season debut on February 6, 1987, in a 5–2 win over the Washington Capitals.

In six playoff games, Shaw recorded a goal and three points,[2] as Hartford lost to the Boston Bruins in the Adams Division semi-finals.

Shaw's stay with the Devils was short-lived, as five days later he was left unprotected in 1992 NHL expansion draft and was chosen by the Ottawa Senators.

In 21 playoff games, Shaw had two goals and 11 points[2] as the Vipers defeated the Long Beach Ice Dogs to win the Turner Cup.

Shaw was placed on waivers in order to return to Detroit, and was claimed by the Washington Capitals on March 9, who were also dealing with defensive depth issues.

[41] Shaw represented Canada at the 1983 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Leningrad, Soviet Union.

[42] Shaw was one of only three players returning for Canada at the 1984 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Sweden.
