Wickenheiser was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. A superstar in Major Junior hockey with the Regina Pats, during the 1979-80 WHL season he led the Western Hockey League in goal scoring (89), captained the Pats to a berth in the Memorial Cup and was the CHL Player of the Year. He was rated by the Hockey News as the top draft prospect in 1980. Drafted first overall by the Montreal Canadiens, he is widely regarded as the biggest draft bust in the history of the NHL Entry Draft, prior to Brian Lawton in 1983 and Alexandre Daigle in 1993. Not helping his status was that the player drafted third, Denis Savard, would become a superstar with the Chicago Blackhawks. Many Canadiens fans (Especially French Canadian fans, who mostly wanted Savard because he was from Quebec) resented him, and media attention soon turned negative.
