As a youth, Gorges played in the 1998 [[Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament]] with a [[minor ice hockey]] team from [[Kelowna]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-02-12|archive-date=2019-03-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306085544/https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>
After going undrafted, Gorges was signed as a [[free agent]] by San Jose in [[2002–03 NHL season|2002]]. [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06]] was his first season in the [[National Hockey League|NHL]]. In [[2004–05 AHL season|2004–05]], he set the [[Cleveland Barons (2001–06)|Cleveland Barons]] record for the fastest goal from the start of a game (20 seconds).

Gorges played [[junior ice hockey#Major junior|major junior]] for his hometown [[Kelowna Rockets]] of the [[Western Hockey League]] (WHL) from [[2000-01 WHL season|2000]] through [[2003-04 WHL season|2004]]. After going undrafted in [[2002 NHL Entry Draft|2002]], he signed as a [[free agent]] with the [[San Jose Sharks]].

Gorges was also a member of Team Canada at the [[2004 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships]], where he won a silver medal.
In 2003, NHL.com wrote an article about him, praising him for his work ethic and for exceeding expectations at every level. Hockeysfuture called him "a solid skater with adequate speed" who "is a good puckmoving defenceman who's effective on the power play with a decent point shot and playmaking abilities". What Gorges lacked in size and strength, he made up for with his discreet and efficient abilities. Hockeysfuture projected him as a future #3 or #4 defenceman.


On February 25, 2007, Gorges and a [[2007 NHL Entry Draft|2007]] first-round pick were traded to the [[Montreal Canadiens]] in exchange for [[Craig Rivet]] and a [[2008 NHL Entry Draft|2008]] fifth-round pick.<ref>{{cite web |title=CANADIENS TRADE AWAY CRAIG RIVET FOR JOSH GORGES AND FIRST-ROUND PICK |url=https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/canadiens-trade-away-craig-rivet-for-josh-gorges-and-first-round-pick |website=The Hockey News |date=25 February 2007 |accessdate=February 25, 2007}}</ref> On July 9, 2008, the Canadiens signed Gorges to a three-year, $3.3 million contract extension.<ref>{{cite web |title=Gorges A Playoff Warrior |url=https://www.nhlpa.com/news/1-13710/gorges-a-playoff-warrior |website=National Hockey League Players Association |accessdate=May 5, 2010}}</ref>
Upon his arrival in San Jose, Gorges had some success early on as a reserve defenseman. However, as he was called on to play more minutes, he struggled. Many attributed his lack of success to his small size and distinct lack of strength, especially a problem in the more physical [[Western Conference (NHL)|Western Conference]] where forwards like [[Ryan Getzlaf]] and [[Jarome Iginla]] could manhandle Gorges.

Playing career

[edit]

As a youth, Gorges played in the 1998 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Kelowna.[1]

Gorges played major junior for his hometown Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League (WHL) from 2000 through 2004. After going undrafted in 2002, he signed as a free agent with the San Jose Sharks. Gorges was named Team WHL captain for the 2003 RE/MAX Canada–Russia Challenge.[2] He was also a member of Team Canada at the 2004 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, where he won a silver medal.[3] In 2004, the Rockets (with Gorges as team captain) won the Memorial Cup.

During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, Gorges played for the Sharks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Cleveland Barons. He made his debut for the Sharks during the 2005-06 season, skating in 49 games.

On February 25, 2007, Gorges and a 2007 first-round pick were traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Craig Rivet and a 2008 fifth-round pick.[4] On July 9, 2008, the Canadiens signed Gorges to a three-year, $3.3 million contract extension.[5]

On February 10, 2010, during a game against the Washington Capitals, Gorges was hit on the left side of the head by a slap shot from Mike Green. Gorges remained motionless on the ice for several minutes, with his head bleeding. He eventually was helped up by team doctors and helped to the bench. The Canadiens eventually won the game 6–5 in OT to end the Capitals 14-game win streak.[6] Gorges skated in practice the next day and was quoted as saying "Unless something happens in the next 24 hours, I’ll be in the lineup against the Flyers."[7]

Gorges was widely praised for his performances in the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs, with Don Cherry declaring "Josh Gorges should be captain of the Canadiens, there’s no doubt in my mind. He’s a captain’s captain. This isn’t in any way to say that Brian Gionta is bad, it’s only to say that Gorges is so good. He’s exceptional. And I think Brian would be happy to have a little pressure taken off him so he could just play the game. Look up the word ‘leader’ in the dictionary, and you’ll find Gorges’s picture."[8]
