Marian Hossa has done a lot in his NHL career. Let’s take a look at some of his most memorable moments and accomplishments
Anyone who has played in the NHL for 20 years is bound to have an impressive string of accomplishments. Marian Hossa, who has most recently played for the Chicago Blackhawks, is no exception. Quickly approaching 40 years of age, he still put up impressive point totals in his most recent season. Unfortunately, due to a skin condition, he is no longer able to play.
Starting his career in the 1997-98 season, Hossa has played on five different teams, not including his recent trade to the Arizona Coyotes. He has a total of fourteen 50 point seasons, including a 100 point season in 2006-07.

In 2010, Hossa became the first NHL player to appear in the Stanley Cup Finals three times in a row with three different teams. He came up just short with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings but won with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Speaking of the Stanley Cup Finals, Hossa has been to five of them, winning three. All three of those wins came with the Blackhawks. That is quite the introduction. This just goes to show the impressive legacy Hossa has built.
He’ll go down as one of the greatest players of the modern generation. If wings got more support for the Selke Trophy, Hossa probably would have won at least one. They say 95 percent of wings are failed centers, mostly because of their lack of defense. This wasn’t the case with Hossa, who played an impressive 200-foot game.
It’s interesting to think what is legacy would look like if he didn’t win three Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks. Perhaps this is a good lesson for us. Why do people focus so much on team accomplishments when considering an individual’s legacy? While titles are relevant, perhaps we need to look more at what an individual did to help his team.
What kind of legacy is Hossa leaving behind? Let’s take a look at his career, from start to finish.
