VINCENT DAMPHOUSSE REACHED A CAREER MARK IMMEDIATELY UPON HIS ARRIVAL IN MONTREAL, SCORING 97 POINTS IN HIS FIRST SEASON.
Considered one of the most complete centermen in Canadiens history, Vincent Damphousse was known not only for his huge offensive output, but also for his great two-way play and significant defensive contributions.After posting 45 goals and 155 points during an outstanding junior season with the Laval Titan in 1985-86, Damphousse jumped directly to the NHL with Toronto the following year. The Maple Leafs selected him sixth overall in the 1986 entry draft.
Damphousse spent the first five seasons of his career developing his game with Toronto before he was dealt to Edmonton in 1991 as part of a blockbuster deal involving six players.
After only one season with the Oilers, he was acquired by Montreal in exchange for Shayne Corson, Brent Gilchrist and Vladimir Vujtek in one of the best trades ever executed by Canadiens General Manager Serge Savard.
It was as a member of the Habs that the Montreal native enjoyed the best years of his career. In his first season with the Canadiens in 1992-93, Damphousse had a career year, notching 97 points. He added 23 points in 20 playoff games to hoist his first and only Stanley Cup.
He continued in his role as the team’s leading scorer over the seasons that followed, including a 91-point season in 1993-94 and 94 points in 1995-96. His production slowed gradually over the next few years and the Canadiens traded him to the San Jose Sharks late in 1998-99.
After six seasons in California, Damphousse signed with Colorado in the summer of 2004 but never appeared in a game with the Avalanche because of the lockout that wiped out the 2004-05 season. He officially retired on September 7, 2005.
Damphousse appeared in three All-Star Games during his career, earning All-Star MVP honors in 1991.
During the 2004 lockout, he was the vice president of NHL Players’ Association’s executive committee.
