Arguably one of the best and classiest to ever play the game, he led the Red Wings to three Stanley Cups (1997, 1998, 2002). He won the Lester B. Pearson Award in 1989, the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1998, the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward in 2000, and the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perserverance in 2003. Yzerman was named captain of the Wings before the 1986-87 season at the age of 21, and to date has been captain of his team longer than any other player in NHL history. Yzerman was also named to the league First All-Star Team in 2000, and has played in nine All-Star games. Yzerman currently ranks 6th all-time in NHL career points.
