Bryan McCabe (born June 8 1975) is a professional defenceman for the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League.
Playing career
McCabe was selected by the New York Islanders in the second round (40th overall) in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft.
In his junior hockey years, McCabe played for the Medicine Hat Tigers (1991-1993), the Spokane Chiefs (1993-1995), and the Brandon Wheat Kings (1995) of the Western Hockey League. In 1994-1995, McCabe was chosen as a First-Team WHL All-Star. Additionally, he was a member of the Gold Medal-winning Canadian national teams at the World Junior Championships in both 1994 and 1995.
McCabe played for the New York Islanders, the Vancouver Canucks, and the Chicago Blackhawks before being acquired by the Maple Leafs in a trade for Alexander Karpovtsev on October 2, 2000.
He finished fourth in Norris Trophy voting and was named to the Second All-Star Team at the culmination of the 2003-04 season. He signed with HV71 of the Swedish Elitserien when it was announced that the NHL season was facing a lockout. McCabe struggled with HV71 and exercised an escape clause in his contract before a game against Sodertalje where he was scheduled to be a healthy scratch.[1] He had one goal, no assists, 30 PIM, and a -12 rating over ten games.
He was recognized as the NHL's Offensive Player of the Week for the week of November 13–19, 2005. McCabe ended the year with 19 goals and 49 assists, good enough for third overall amongst defenceman scoring, behind Nicklas Lidström and Sergei Zubov.
On December 21, 2005, McCabe was named as a reserve for Team Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics at Torino, Italy. On February 2, 2006, he was moved from the reserves to the official roster to replace an injured Ed Jovanovski.[2] On June 28, 2006, McCabe and the Leafs signed a five-year deal worth $28.75 million with a no-movement clause. In the 2007–08 NHL season, McCabe was the focus of numerous trade rumours, but he did not waive his clause. Numerous media outlets are reporting that he will waive it once the Leafs pay him a $2 million signing bonus due on September 1, 2008.
Bryan was traded to the Florida Panthers on September 2nd, 2008. The Maple leafs will send McCabe and a draft pick to the Panthers and will receive defenceman Mike Van Ryn in return.[3]
Off the ice
McCabe has a wife named Roberta and together they have two daughters named Stevie and Sam.[4] They have a home on Long Island, New York.
