Shane Churla (born June 24, 1965) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player.
In the 1995–96 season, Churla moved from Dallas to the Los Angeles Kings, and then again to the New York Rangers.
Churla is perhaps best remembered for receiving one of the most vicious elbows in NHL history during the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs, courtesy of Pavel Bure.
In 2013, he moved to the Montreal Canadiens in a similar capacity [4] and eventually became the director of amateur scouting.
After 7 years in Montreal, Churla left to join the Florida Panthers as their director of amateur scouting.
