Learn More About Cam Neely:

Cam Neely was a right winger that was drafted into the NHL by the Vancouver Canucks in 1983, ninth overall.  He played 3 seasons with the Canucks before being traded to the Boston Bruins.

Neely joining the Bruins was turning point in his career where he was given more opportunity to play and a chance to contribute offensively, not just physically.  His first full season following the trade, Neely led the club with 36 goals and finishing the season with 72 points, more than doubling his previous year’s performance.  Neely’s success stemmed from not only his quick, powerful shots on goal but his also his physical play and devastating body checks.  He became a power forward for the Bruins and earned the nickname “Bam-Bam Cam.”  His first season with the Bruins ended with 143 minutes in the penalty box.

Sadly, Neely’s career was cut short due to repeated knee injuries and a degenerative hip condition at the age of 31.  However,  he did have some remarkable scoring achievements.  Only Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Brett Hull scored a better goals per game average over the course of a season.  He reached the 50 goal mark 3 times and played in 5 All-Star Games.  His intense effort to return to the NHL despite the injuries earned him a Masterson Trophy and the Boston Bruins honored him by raising his number 8 to the rafters on January 12, 2004.
