513 career goals and the most outspoken personality in American hockey history.
Jeremy Shaffer Roenick was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970. Chicago Blackhawks selected him eighth overall in the 1988 NHL Draft. His 20-season career produced 513 goals and 703 assists for 1,216 career points — the second-most by an American-born player behind Mike Modano. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2024 and named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in 2017. He was the most dynamic and entertaining personality in American hockey — his media presence, outspoken commentary and willingness to say exactly what he thought made him one of hockey's most recognised figures well beyond the sport's traditional audience. He scored 50 or more goals twice. He was one of the few elite centres who was as dangerous physically as offensively — taking and delivering hits with equal willingness. He represented the USA in multiple Olympics and World Championships. His post-playing broadcast career continued his role as hockey's most visible American voice.
