[edit] Playing career
Derian Hatcher is known as a physical defenseman and a strong bodychecker and uses his intimidating size to good effect. He was drafted in the 1st round as the 8th overall selection by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft and scored in his NHL debut game on October 12 1991. Hatcher played for the North Stars and went with them when they moved to Dallas in 1993.
He played another 10 years for the Dallas Stars, collecting 71 goals, 223 assists, 1,380 penalty minutes, and captained the Stars to the Stanley Cup in 1999. In doing so, he became the first non Canadian-born captain to win the Stanley Cup; until Niklas Lidstrom's Detroit Red Wings won the 2008 Stanley Cup he was the only non-Canadian-born captain to win the Stanley Cup. In July 2003, Hatcher signed with the Detroit Red Wings for a five-year $30 million contract.
In 2004, due to the cancellation of the NHL season, Hatcher, along with fellow Detroit Red Wings teammates Chris Chelios and Kris Draper, decided to play minor league hockey with the Motor City Mechanics based out of Fraser, Michigan.
On August 2, 2005, Hatcher signed with the Philadelphia Flyers after his contract with Detroit was bought out due to the new salary cap.
On January 29, 2006, Hatcher was named captain of the Philadelphia Flyers. He served as captain for the rest of the 2005–06 season due to the absence of injured captain Keith Primeau. Hatcher has also served as the alternate captain for the Flyers.
Note: Prior to start of the 1994–95 NHL season, Mark Tinordi was traded to Washington. Neal Broten was named captain, about a month later Broten was traded to New Jersey and Hatcher was then named captain.
