Three Stanley Cups after three consecutive Finals losses — one of hockey's most dramatic championship arcs.
Marián Hossa was born in Stara Lubovna, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia) in 1979. Ottawa Senators selected him 12th overall in the 1997 NHL Draft. His career produced 525 goals and 609 assists for 1,134 career points. He won three Stanley Cup championships with Chicago (2010, 2013, 2015). He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020 and named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in 2017. He appeared in the Stanley Cup Finals three times before winning it — losing with Pittsburgh in 2008 and with Detroit in 2009 before finally winning with Chicago in 2010. He reportedly chose his team based on who he believed gave the best chance to win — passing up more money from Detroit to go to Chicago in 2009. He was forced to retire in 2017 due to a progressive skin disorder caused by his equipment. His three consecutive Finals appearances and then three consecutive championships represent one of hockey's most dramatic individual championship storylines.
