Playing career

A star defenceman known for the power of his slapshot, Al MacInnis was drafted 15th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft. He started playing for Calgary in 1981, winning the Stanley Cup with the Flames in 1989. In that year he also won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the playoffs. During that postseason he racked up 7 goals and 24 assists in 22 games. He recorded 26 of those 31 points during a 17-game scoring streak. It was the second-longest such run in the playoffs and MacInnis' streak was the longest by a rearguard. MacInnis was the first blueliner to record more playoff points in one playoff than anyone else.

One of the few defencemen to record over 1000 career points, MacInnis retired from the NHL on September 9, 2005 after missing close to two seasons due to a combination of injuries and the 2004-05 NHL Lockout which cancelled the entire season but the factor that was most reponsible was his eye injury. His last game was in October, 2003 just three games into the season facing off against the Predators in Nashville. After realizing he was having vision problems again and it turned out he had suffered a detached retina to the same eye that was injured by a wayward stick in January of 2001 that had left him with a permanent blind spot and a need to wear a special contact lens. His jersey #2 was retired by the St. Louis Blues during a pre-game ceremony on Sunday, April 9, 2006 before the Blues faced off against the Edmonton Oilers.

Throughout his career, MacInnis was known most for his extremely powerful slapshot. In the 1999-00 NHL Skills Competition he captured "Hardest Shot" honors for the fourth consecutive year and, overall, has seven such honors to his credit. MacInnis, one of the few NHLers to resist the new composite metal sticks that came out during 2002-03, amazed everyone during NHL All-Star Week that season by firing a 98.9-miles per hour screamer with a Sher-Wood brand wooden stick. In characteristic Canadian style, MacInnis said: "So much for technology, eh?"
