Special Mention - The Six Sutter Brothers All Made the NHLJamie and Jordie Benn

Despite being brothers and getting their starts with the same franchise, Jamie and Jordie Benn traveled separate roads to the NHL. While the Dallas Stars drafted Jamie in the fifth round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Jordie worked his
way through the minor leagues. Playing for the Victoria Salmon Kings of the ECHL and the Allen Americans of the former CHL, Jordie took the minor league path when he wasn't picked to play for a major junior team.Jordie Benn (24) congratulating younger brother Jamie after a goal.

Jamie originally intended to play college hockey for the University of Alaska -
Fairbanks on a scholarship, but instead chose the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. With only two seasons of major junior hockey under his belt, the Stars called up the younger of the two Benns to play his first full NHL season in 2009. That
same season, Jordie signed with the Allen Americans and both brothers found themselves in Texas.

Today, Jamie serves as the Stars'; captain, a distinction he has held since the
2013-14 season. He represented Canada at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, scoring two goals in six games, including the only goal in a 1-0 shutout of the United States. He won a scoring title during the 2014-15 season, scoring four points in Dallas'; final game to finish with 87 points. On Jul. 15, 2016, he signed an
eight-year contract extension that keeps him in Dallas through the 2024-25 season.

Jordie spent parts of three seasons with Dallas'; AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars. He became a regular on the NHL club';s blue line during the 2013-14 season. He was traded to the Montreal Canadiens for fellow defenseman Greg Pateryn at the 2017 trade deadline.Related: Recapping Jame Benn';s Unique Art Ross SeasonMarcus and Nick Foligno

Raised by former NHL player and coach and current Vegas Golden Knights scout, Mike Foligno, Marcus and Nick were born and raised in Buffalo, New York. Born four years apart, the Foligno brothers never had the opportunity to play on the
same team. With Canadian parents, both Nick and Marcus have duel citizenship. Elder brother Nick plays for the United States while Marcus represents Canada.

Nick was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the 2006 Entry Draft. He was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Jul. 1, 2012 in exchange for Marc Methot. Following the 2014-15 season, he was named captain and has remained in the role since. He has represented the United States three times, all at the World Championships. Most recently, he competed at the 2016 championships, scoring five points in 10 games.

Younger brother Marcus was taken by the Buffalo Sabres in the fourth round of the 2009 Draft. He made his NHL debut on Dec. 11, 2011 and scored his first goal on Mar. 10, 2012. On Jun. 30, 2017, he was part of a multi-player trade that sent him to the Minnesota Wild. An RFA at the time, he signed a four-year contract extension with the Wild. Marcus'; only international experience occurred when he won a silver medal with Canada at the 2011 World Junior Championship. In seven games, he posted four points.

The Foligno family supports many charitable causes after losing their mother to
cancer in 2009. Currently, both brothers and their sisters, Cara and Lisa, manage the Janis Foligno Foundation. The foundation is partnered with nine charities, including Meals on Wheels and the Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer.Markus and Mikael Granlund

Before coming to North America, both Mikael and Markus Granlund played for HIFK
Helsinki in Finland';s SM-liiga. Older brother Mikael was drafted ninth overall
in the 2010 Draft by the Minnesota Wild. Markus was selected by the Calgary Flames in the second round one year later.

Mikael made his NHL debut on Jan. 19, 2013, opening night of the lockout-shortened season. He also scored his first career goal that night. He has developed into one of the Wild';s best players and signed a three-year contract extension on Aug. 1, 2017.

Markus made his NHL debut with the Flames on Feb. 27, 2014 and scored his first
goal on Mar. 5 of the same year. On Feb. 22, 2016, he was dealt to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Hunter Shinkaruk.

Both brothers have represented Finland in multiple international competitions. Mikael is a five time participant in the World Junior Championships, has played
in four World Championships, one World Cup, and one Olympic tournament. In those appearances, he has won five medals: one gold, one silver, and three bronzes. Markus has represented Finland on five different occasions and was a teammate of Mikael at two different World Junior Championships.Dougie and Freddie Hamilton

Younger brother Dougie was taken ninth overall by the Boston Bruins in the 2011
Draft. He appeared to be a future core member of the Bruins'; blue line but was
traded to the Calgary Flames on Jun. 26, 2015 for three draft picks, a first and two seconds. An RFA at the time of the trade, he quickly signed a six-year,
$34.5 million extension with the Flames. As a Flame, Dougie has fit in well on the team';s top pair with Mark Giordano.Younger Brother Dougie Hamilton with the Calgary Flames. (Photo by Mark LoMoglio/Icon Sportswire)

Dougie has represented Canada four times, all from 2010 to 2013. He helped them
win gold at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Tournament, silver at the 2011 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, and bronze at the 2012 World Junior Championship.

Freddie was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the fifth round of the 2010 Draft. He played 12 games with the Sharks and has since played for two more NHL
teams. He scored his first goal with the Colorado Avalanche and was later traded to the Flames, joining Dougie. On Jan. 4, 2018, he was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Coyotes and is currently on their roster. The older of the two brothers won a gold medal with Canada at the 2009 World U-17 Hockey Challenge and won bronze at the 2012 World Junior Championships.Freddie Hamilton as a member of the Calgary Flames.

Oddly, these Toronto natives weren't born into a hockey family. Their parents, Doug and Lynn, met while participating in the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
Their father medaled in rowing, while their mother took fourth as a member of Canada';s women';s basketball team.Jimmy and Kevin Hayes

Natives of Massachusetts, both brothers played college hockey at Boston College. Jimmy helped the Eagles win the 2010 NCAA Championship while Kevin was
named MVP of the 2014 Beanpot, an annual tournament between the college hockey teams in Boston. Kevin was also a finalist for the 2014 Hobey Baker Award as the nation';s top player. He lost to line mate Johnny Gaudreau.

Older brother Jimmy was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round of the 2008 Draft. Before reaching the NHL, he was dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks and made his debut with them on Dec. 30, 2011. He was again traded, this time to the Florida Panthers, on Nov. 14, 2013. With the Panthers, Hayes set career highs during the 2014-15 season with 19 goals and 35 points.

The following offseason, as an RFA, he was traded to his hometown Boston Bruins
in a deal including Reilly Smith. He struggled in his two seasons with the Bruins and was bought out by the team on Jun. 30, 2017. In October, he was signed to a one-year deal by the New Jersey Devils.

Before playing at Boston College, younger brother Kevin was drafted 24th overall by the Blackhawks but never signed with them. After his collegiate career, he signed as a free agent with the New York Rangers on Aug. 20, 2014 and has remained with them since.

Both brothers have represented the United States on the international stage and
were teammates at the 2014 World Championship. Additionally, Kevin participated
in the 2017 World Championship and Jimmy played in two World Junior Championships, in 2007 and 2009. They are second cousins with former NHL players, Tom Fitzgerald and Keith Tkachuk. Fitzgerald is also the current assistant general manager with the Devils.Adrian and Mario Kempe

Swedish brothers Adrian and Mario Kempe have only recently made their NHL, each
taking the ice for the first time in 2017.  Older brother Mario took a non-direct path to the league, playing his junior hockey with MODO Hockey in Sweden. He represented Sweden at the 2006 U-18 World Championships and was taken 31st overall in that year';s CHL Import Draft by the St. John';s Fog Devils of the QMJHL. After his first year in North America, he was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fifth round of the 2007 Entry Draft but didn';t sign.

Instead, he returned to Sweden and played six seasons in the country';s top league, the SHL. After the 2013-14 season, he signed with Vityaz Podolsk of the
KHL and played three seasons for them. After last season, he signed a two-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes and made his debut on Oct. 10. He is currently playing for Arizona';s AHL affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners. Since his draft year, Mario played in one more international tournament, the 2008 World Junior Championships, helping Sweden win a silver medal.

Younger brother Adrian is eight years younger than Mario so they haven';t had the opportunity to play on the same team. Adrian followed in Mario';s footsteps
and played for MODO Hockey. He had a solid draft year playing against men in the SHL and was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the 2014
Entry Draft.

He returned to Sweden for the 2014-15 season and made his NHL debut on Feb. 16,
2017. Adrian has established himself as a regular on the Kings roster for the 2017-18 roster and eclipsed the 15 goal mark for the first time. Adrian has represented Sweden on five occasions, all at the junior level, and helped them win gold at the 2013 U-17 Hockey Challenge.Brock and Jamie McGinn

A close-knit family, the McGinns have been involved in hockey since each were two years old. It was at that age when they began skating. Skating evolved into
their parents building a backyard rink every winter and the rest was history. Off ice, hockey still runs deep as the three sons and their father, Bob, are owners of the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs of the Southern Professional Hockey League.Jamie McGinn when he was a member of the Colorado Avalanche. (Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports)

The eldest of three brothers, Jamie, played his junior hockey with the Ottawa 67';s of the OHL. He was drafted in the second round of the 2006 Entry Draft by
the San Jose Sharks. After playing two more seasons in the OHL, he made his NHL
debut with the Sharks on Oct. 28, 2008.

Jamie has been been traded four times in his career, moving from the Sharks to the Colorado Avalanche, to the Buffalo Sabres, to the Anaheim Ducks, and to the
Florida Panthers, where he currently plays. During the 2015-16 season, Jamie appeared in 84 games, 63 with the Sabres and 19 with Anaheim following a trade.

Younger brother Brock also played junior hockey in the OHL, spending four seasons with the Guelph Storm. He was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the
second round of the 2012 Draft and made his debut for the Hurricanes on Oct. 16, 2015. In his first game, he scored on his first shift, 55 seconds into the game.

Jamie and Brock have a third brother, Tye, who is currently playing for the AHL';s Tucson Roadrunners in the Coyotes'; system. The middle brother was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fourth round of the 2010 Draft. Since
being a Flyer, Tye has also played for the Sharks, Coyotes, and the Tampa Bay Lightning.Brett and Nick Ritchie

Brothers Brett and Nick Ritchie have athleticism pumping through their veins. Parents Paul and Tammy are gifted athletes. Paul played hockey at the OHL level
and later coached peewee hockey and Tammy played volleyball, softball, and basketball. The love of sports was passed down to their sons and they were encouraged to participate in as many as they wanted. This included lacrosse, a sport that both brothers excelled in while playing for their local program, the Orangeville Northmen.

On the ice, older brother Brett began his junior career with the OHL';s Sarnia Sting. With the Sting, he was chosen to play in the 2011 CHL Top Prospects Game
but had to skip the event due to mononucleosis. In 2012, he was traded to the Niagara Icedogs, also of the OHL. Brett was drafted by the Dallas Stars in the second round of the 2011 Entry Draft and made his NHL debut on Dec. 31, 2014. Brett has represented Canada on four different occasions, all the junior level,
winning two gold medals. Most recently, he played in the 2013 World Junior Championships.

Nick followed in his older brother';s footsteps by going the OHL route, playing
for the Peterborough Petes and later, the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. Born two
years apart, Brett and Nick did not have the opportunity to play at the same level growing up. Nick was drafted 10th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in 2014 and debuted for them on Nov. 16, 2015. During the 2017 playoffs, he played in 15 games for the Ducks and was ejected from game six of the Western Conference Final for boarding Nashville Predator Viktor Arvidsson. Like Brett, Nick has played for Canada four times, all at the junior level. He has won a medal each time, including three golds.Brayden and Luke Schenn

Both Brayden, a center, and Luke, a defenseman, are former first round picks and both were taken fifth overall. Older brother Luke was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2008 while Brayden was taken in 2009 by the Los Angeles Kings. Born in Saskatchewan, both played their junior hockey in the WHL, Luke with the Kelowna Rockets and Brayden with the Brandon Wheat Kings.

Luke made his NHL debut on Oct. 29, 2008 after Toronto decided to not send him back to Kelowna. He was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers on Jun. 23, 2012 for James van Riemsdyk, which gave the Schenns an opportunity to play together. Luke was traded once more on Jan. 6, 2016, this time to the Kings. After his deal expired that offseason, he signed a two-year deal with the Arizona Coyotes.

"It';s just surreal right now," Schenn said. "It';s going to be exciting to play with my brother, that';s for sure. I can';t describe how cool this is." As
told to James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail

Like Luke, Brayden also made his NHL debut in his draft year, playing on Nov. 20, 2009, but played the majority of the season with the Wheat Kings. He was traded to the Flyers along with Wayne Simmonds on Jun. 23, 2011 for Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. He signed a four-year, $20.5 million contract extension in 2016 and was traded to the St. Louis Blues on Jun. 23, 2017. With the Blues, Brayden is having the best season of his career.

Both brothers have represented Canada internationally but have yet to play on the same team. Luke has participated in nine tournaments, most recently at the 2013 World Championships. He has helped Canada win three golds and a silver. Brayden has played for Canada on seven occasions, including the 2017 World Championships. He has had more success than Luke, winning three golds, and three silvers.

In his time with the Maple Leafs, Luke donated $10,000 to start "Luke's Troops," giving Canadian servicemen and women the opportunity to attend a game as his guests. Since 2006, the brothers have organized the Luke and Brayden Schenn Celebrity Golf Classic. The goal of the event is to raise money for the Royal University Hospital Foundation. Since the inaugural event, they have raised $1.3 million for the foundation.Jordan and Nick Schmaltz

Madison, Wisconsin natives, Jordan and Nick Schmaltz have a lot in common. They
both played for the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL, both attended the University of North Dakota, both are former first round draft picks, and both play in the Central Division. There are also differences, including that Jordan
is a defenseman while Nick plays center.

Eldest brother Jordan attended UND because that';s where his father and two uncles attended and played football. While attending UND, he majored in communications and social science. After three seasons, he signed his entry-level contract with the St. Louis Blues, the team that took him 25th overall in 2012. He made his NHL debut on Mar. 5, 2017 and is currently with the Blues'; AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage.

Nick, three years younger than Jordan, was drafted 20th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2014 Draft. Already committed to UND, he played two seasons for the Fighting Hawks. During the 2015-16 season, he skated on a line with future NHLers Drake Caggiula and Brock Boeser.

Nick also scored the game-winning goal in the 2016 NCAA Championship against the University of Denver. Following that season, he signed his entry-level contract with the Blackhawks and made his debut on Oct. 12, 2016.

Both brothers have represented the United States internationally. Jordan won gold at the 2010 U-17 Hockey Challenge in his only tournament. Nick has played in four tournaments, winning silver at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Tournament and bronze at the 2016 World Junior Championships.

Jordan and Nick have two other siblings. Sister Kylie is a volleyball player at
the University of Kentucky and Jake is a hockey player with Wisconsin';s U-16 team.Daniel and Henrik SedinTwins Henrik and Daniel Sedin were drafted back-to-back in the 1999 Draft and have played together ever since. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)

As the only identical twins in the NHL, the Sedins are tricky. They once traded
places for interviews. Additionally, while still playing in Sweden, Henrik claims he circled around Daniel to re-take the faceoff when the referee kicked him out.

Prior to being drafted second and third overall in the 1999 Draft, Daniel and Henrik both played for their hometown team, MODO Hockey Ornskoldsvik of the Swedish Hockey League. They were both drafted by the Vancouver Canucks after GM
Brian Burke acquired the second overall pick while already possessing the third
pick. His goal was to draft both Sedins and was given the opportunity with the Atlanta Thrashers set to take Patrik Stefan with the first overall pick.

Since joining the league, both have had excellent careers. Each are two time all-stars and each has an Art Ross Trophy to his name. Henrik added a Hart Trophy in 2010 while Daniel finished runner-up in 2011. Internationally, they have been great at representing Sweden. Daniel has played in eight senior level
tournaments, winning two golds, one silver, and two bronzes. Henrik has appeared in one fewer tournament, missing the 2014 Olympics with an injury.

Daniel and Henrik have made a big impact on the Vancouver community with their charitable contributions. In 2010, the twins donated $1.5 million to help build a BC Children's Hospital, supporting the Campaign for BC Children. In 2014, the brothers and their wives created the Sedin Family Foundation to contribute to community centers and schools in the Vancouver area.Related: The
Sedin Twins and the 1999 NHL Entry DraftBrendan and Reilly Smith

Born three years apart, defenseman Brendan and forward Reilly Smith lacked opportunities to play for the same junior teams, but both followed a similar path to the NHL. Each played college hockey and were Hobey Baker Award finalists as the nation';s top player. Older brother Brendan played for the University of Wisconsin and was a finalist in 2010, while Reilly played three seasons for Miami (OH) University and was a finalist in 2012.

The Detroit Red Wings drafted Brendan in the second round of the 2007 Entry Draft and he made his debut on Nov. 11, 2011. On Feb. 28, 2017, and with an expiring contract, he was dealt to the New York Rangers at the trade deadline. After the season, he re-signed with the Rangers for four years. On Feb. 8, 2018, he was placed on waivers and was sent to their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Reilly was drafted by the Dallas Stars in the third round of the 2009 Entry Draft. Following the trade that sent Reilly and Loui Eriksson to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley, Reilly and Brendan faced
each other in the playoffs for the first time. In that first round series, Reilly';s Bruins emerged victorious.

On Jul. 1, 2015, he was traded for a second time, moving from Boston to the Florida Panthers along with Marc Savard';s contract in exchange for Jimmy Hayes. With the Panthers, Reilly set a career high in goals with 25. On Jun. 21, 2017 at the Expansion Draft, Reilly was sent to the Vegas Golden Knights to
clear cap space for the Panthers.

Eric, Jordan, and Marc Staal

Although there are numerous examples of brothers in the NHL, having four in the
league at the same time is a rarity. Yet, that is exactly what the Staal family
accomplished when youngest brother, Jared, made his debut on Apr. 25, 2013. He joined brothers Eric and Jordan as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes and faced the New York Rangers. Had older brother Marc, a Ranger, been healthy at the time, all four would have played in that game.

Oldest brother Eric was drafted second overall by the Hurricanes in the 2003 Draft. He made his debut that season and helped guide the Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup in 2006. He was named captain in 2010 and held that title until 2016 when he was traded at the deadline to the Rangers. That offseason, he signed a three-year deal with the Minnesota Wild.

Eric is one of just 27 players to join the exclusive Triple Gold Club, the name
given to players or coaches who have won a Stanley Cup and captured gold at the
Olympics and World Championships. He won gold with Team Canada at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and the 2007 World Championships. He has represented Canada on three other occasions, twice more at the World Championships and once at the
World Junior Championships.

Marc is the only defenseman of the four brothers and was drafted 12th overall by the Rangers in the 2005 Draft. He made his debut on Oct. 4, 2007 and has remained a Ranger his entire career. When healthy, Marc has been a shutdown defender with offensive upside, but has had a history of career-threatening injuries, including multiple concussions and a retinal tear when a puck struck his eye. He has represented Canada five times, winning gold on four occasions, including two World Junior Championships.

At the 2006 Draft, the Pittsburgh Penguins selected Jordan with the second overall pick. Like his brother, Eric, Jordan joined the NHL club right away and
had an immediate impact. He finished third in Calder Trophy voting that season and helped Pittsburgh win the 2009 Stanley Cup. On Jun. 22, 2012, he was traded
to the Hurricanes for Brandon Sutter, Brian Dumoulin, and a first round pick. On Jul.1, 2012, he signed a 10-year extension with the Hurricanes. He has played for Canada four times and won gold at the 2006 Ivan Hlinka Tournament and at the 2007 World Championships.

Youngest brother Jared has not had the same success in the NHL as his brothers.
He was drafted in the second round of the 2008 Draft by the then-Phoenix Coyotes. On May 13, 2010, the Hurricanes acquired his rights and signed him to an entry-level contract. He spent five seasons in their organization before he was released in 2015. Most recently, he spent the 2016-17 season playing for the Edinburgh Capitals of the Elite Ice Hockey League in the United Kingdom.

As a family, the four brothers established the Staal Family Foundation, which provides help to children and families suffering from cancer. One event the foundation sponsors, the Staal Foundation Open golf tournament, raised $271,000
in 2017. That money was distributed to Camp Quality Northwestern Ontario, the Northern Cancer Fund, and the Smilezone Foundation.

Older brother Michael is currently a defenseman for the Calgary Flames. A Manitoba native, he played junior hockey for the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL. He was drafted by the then-Phoenix Coyotes in the third round of the 2008 Draft. He made his debut for the Coyotes on Feb. 18. 2012. He was traded at the 2017 Trade Deadline to the Flames and re-signed with them, agreeing to a three-year deal.

Mark is a right wing who also played in the WHL but with the Brandon Wheat Kings. He and Michael face each other in the 2010 Memorial Cup semi-finals with
Mark';s Wheat Kings emerging victorious. He was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the sixth round of the 2010 and made his debut with them in the playoffs on Apr. 21, 2012 against the New York Rangers. This came immediately after his WHL
season had finished and before he had even played in the AHL.Michael (left) and

His regular season debut came nearly a year later on Mar. 6, 2013. He finished runner-up in 2015 Calder Trophy voting for rookie of the year and was in the top 10 for Selke Trophy voting in 2017. Mark has played for Team Canada twice, once at the 2012 World Junior Championships where they won bronze, and at the 2016 World Championships, winning gold.

Dylan and Ryan Strome

Currently, there are two Stromes in the NHL. Ryan is on the Edmonton Oilers and
Dylan is a prospect in the Arizona Coyotes'; system. There is a third brother, Matthew, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers. He is currently playing for the Hamilton Bulldogs of the OHL.

Ryan is the oldest brother and got the ball rolling when he was taken fifth overall by the New York Islanders in 2011. Prior to being drafted, he played for the OHL';s Barrie Colts and Niagara Icedogs. He made his NHL debut on Dec. 14, 2013. In June 2017, he was traded to the Oilers for Jordan Eberle. He has played in three junior level tournaments, including two World Junior Championships for Canada. His teams have won a silver and a bronze.

Dylan is the middle brother and has a plethora of potential. He is four years younger than Ryan so the Strome name was well-known when Dylan joined the OHL. He played all four years of junior hockey with the Erie Otters which included Connor McDavid and Connor Brown. He won the 2015 OHL scoring title and established a new scoring record for the Otters. In the 2017 Memorial Cup Tournament, he set a tournament record with seven points in one game against the Saint John Sea Dogs.

Dylan was drafted third overall by Arizona in the 2015 Entry Draft. He made his
NHL debut on Oct. 18, 2016 but was sent back down to Erie for the duration of the season. He is currently playing for the Tucson Roadrunners, the Coyotes'; AHL affiliate. He has also competed for Canada on the international stage, twice participating in the World Junior Championships, and once each at the U-17 Hockey Challenge and the Ivan Hlinka Tournament. His teams have won one gold and one silver medal.Malcolm and P.K. Subban

The Subbans rise to the NHL is quite the improbable one. Parents Karl and Maria
were born on the Caribbean islands of Jamaica and Montserrat, respectively. Both immigrated to Canada when in 1970, met in Toronto and married.Jordan, P.K.
and Malcolm Subban.

Older brother P.K. played his junior hockey with the Belleville Bulls of the OHL where he scored 56 points in 68 games as a defenseman during the 2006-07 season. He was drafted following that season in the second round by the Montreal Canadiens. He made his NHL debut on Feb. 12, 2010 and appeared in 14 playoff games for the Canadiens that year, scoring eight points. He won the Norris Trophy for the league';s best defenseman following the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season when he posted 38 points in 42 games.

In 2014, he became the highest paid defenseman in the league when he signed an eight-year, $72 million deal, avoiding arbitration. On Jun. 29, 2016, he was traded in a blockbuster deal to the Nashville Predators for Shea Weber. In his first season, he helped the Predators reach the Stanley Cup Final, losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games. In addition to his Norris, P.K. has been named an all-star twice and has been a Norris finalist one other time.

He has represented Canada five times, three at the junior level and two at the senior level. When he has participated, Canada has won three gold medals, including at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Off-ice, P.K. has been involved in numerous charities. After he signed his eight-year deal with the Canadiens, he committed to raising $10 million for the
Montreal Children';s Hospital by 2022. For his efforts, he was award the Meritorious Service Cross by the Canadian government. Even after his trade to Nashville, he has continued this commitment and visits the hospital each time the Predators play in Montreal.

In Nashville, P.K. established his charity, "P.K.';s Blue Line Buddies" with the goal of establishing a better relationship between law enforcement and inner-city children. For each home game, the organization purchases tickets for
a law enforcement officer, a child, and their guests. He also treats them to a buffet at the premium restaurant at Bridgestone Arena and gets to meet P.K. and
other Predators before and after the game.

Younger brother, Malcolm, is four years younger than P.K. and also played for the Bulls, but as a goaltender. He was drafted by the Boston Bruins 24th overall in the 2012 draft and appeared in his first NHL game on Feb. 20, 2015. With the Bruins, he played in just two games. On Oct. 3, 2017, he was claimed off waivers by the Vegas Golden Knights and won his first game on Oct. 15, facing the Bruins.

With an injury to starter Marc-Andre Fleury, Malcolm became the Golden Knights'; starting goalie. On Dec. 8 he faced P.K. for the first time, making 41 saves en route to a 4-2 Vegas win. Malcolm has played for Canada once, at the 2013 World Junior Championships, where they finished fourth.

P.K. and Malcolm have a third brother, Jordan, who is a defenseman and is two years younger than Malcolm. Like his brothers, Jordan also played for the Bulls. He was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the fourth round of the 2013 Entry Draft. With the Canucks, he was called up one time but did not see any game action. On Dec. 7, 2017, he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings where he plays for their AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign.Related: Welcome to Subban LandBrandon and Chris Tanev

Older brother Chris is currently a defenseman with the Vancouver Canucks but took the road less traveled to get there. Growing up, he was cut from seven midget teams due to his small stature and resorted to playing high school ice hockey as well as roller hockey in the summers. After graduating, he played one
season of college hockey for the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.

On May 31, 2010, he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Canucks and made
his debut on Jan. 18, 2011. By making his debut, he became the first RIT alumnus to play in the NHL. Chris represented Canada at the 2016 World Championships, winning gold.

Younger brother Brandon plays left wing for the Winnipeg Jets and also went the
college hockey route. He played four seasons with Providence College and scored
the game-winning goal in the 2015 NCAA Championship game. On Mar. 30, 2016, he signed with the Winnipeg Jets and made his debut with them on Apr. 5 of that year.James and Trevor van Riemsdyk

Elder brother James van Riemsdyk was selected second overall in the 2007 Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers. Before signing his first contract, he committed to play college hockey at the University of New Hampshire, a path followed by his two brothers. After two seasons at UNH, James joined the Flyers
and made the NHL roster out of training camp in 2009.

As a rookie, he participated in the Stanley Cup Final which the Flyers lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games. On Jun. 23, 2012, he was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Luke Schenn. A physical left winger, James has four 25 goal seasons to his name. Internationally, he has represented the United States
eight times, including at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Younger brother Trevor may have followed in James'; footsteps by attending UNH,
but that is where the similarities stop. Trevor is a defenseman and went undrafted. After three years of college hockey, he signed with the Blackhawks as a free agent on Mar. 24, 2014. He made his debut on Oct. 9, 2014 and won a Stanley Cup the next spring as Chicago defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning.

At the 2017 Expansion Draft, he was left exposed and was taken by the Vegas Golden Knights. The next day, Jun. 22, he was dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Trevor has represented the United States on one occasion, participating in the 2017 World Championships.

James and Trevor have a third brother, Brendan, who is the youngest and currently attending UNH. A center, Brendan is currently in his second season.Related: Top 5 Father-Son Duos in NHL History
