Tyler Seguin, hailing from Brampton, Ontario, has had an impressive career in professional hockey. Drafted second overall by the Boston Bruins in the 2010 NHL Draft, he won a Stanley Cup during his rookie season.
Seguin’s junior career included playing for the Plymouth Whalers, where he made history as the first player from the team to win the Red Tilson Trophy as the OHL’s Most Valuable Player. His standout season was 2009-10, tallying 48 goals, 58 assists, and 106 points.
During the 2024-25 season, Seguin faced a significant injury that required surgery but managed to return for the playoff season finale against the Dallas Stars. Last season, he played 20 games and scored 21 points but was sidelined due to major hip surgery until the playoffs. After a successful recovery, the 33-year-old played in a pre-playoff game with the Nashville Stars. He averaged around 15 minutes of ice time per game in the playoffs, working hard to regain full mobility, finishing the postseason with four goals and four assists in 18 games.
Seguin’s best season with Dallas was his first, 2013-14, where he scored 37 goals, 47 assists, and 84 points over 80 games. He is a six-time All-Star and earned a Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011.
Having played 989 games and scored 809 points, Seguin is close to reaching 1000 in both categories. Yet, his ultimate goal remains to win another Stanley Cup, this time with the Dallas Stars.
In his rookie year (2010-11), Seguin learned from esteemed veterans like Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, and Tim Thomas. Now, he takes on that mentorship role himself. When asked about advice for young players aiming for success, Seguin emphasized the importance of balance and commitment: “You can’t just have fun, sacrifices need to be made, don’t party too much, and you need to stay focused.”
