As a hockey player, Mark Messier was as tenacious and determined as they get.
That spirit remains in him 30 years after he played in one of the greatest Game 7s in sports history, when the New York Rangers put everything on the line against the Vancouver Canucks in the 1994 Stanley Cup Final.
By that time, Messier had achieved more than most hockey players could dream of:
• Five Stanley Cup titles with the Edmonton Oilers from 1984-90
• Two Hart Memorial Trophies for NHL MVP (1990, ’92)
• Conn Smythe Trophy winner for playoff MVP (1984)
• 10 NHL All-Star Game appearances
After being traded to the Rangers in 1991, Messier was laser focused on getting the long-suffering Broadway Blueshirts their first sip from Lord Stanley’s cup since 1940. It was such a long title drought that many fans believed the franchise was cursed.
