Steve Gainey (born January 26, 1979) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey forward who played in parts of four seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Dallas Stars and Phoenix Coyotes. He is the son of former NHL player and executive Bob Gainey.
Playing career
[edit]Gainey was drafted in the third round, 77th overall, by the Dallas Stars in the 1997 NHL entry draft by his father, general manager Bob Gainey.[1] Gainey attended St. Andrew's College for the 1994–95 academic year prior to playing for the WHL's Kamloops Blazers.
He made his NHL debut on February 1, 2001, against the San Jose Sharks.[2]
On February 16, 2004, he was traded from the Stars, to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Mike Siklenka.[3] However, Gainey only spent time with their AHL affiliate the Philadelphia Phantoms. On November 4, 2005, he signed a one-year contract to play for the Phoenix Coyotes.[4]
In September 2006, he was invited to the Vancouver Canucks training camp but was later cut from the camp. After two seasons in retirement, Gainey made a return to the professional ranks in signing a contract with the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL on October 14, 2008.[5] In the following 2008–09 season, Gainey was signed to a professional try-out contract with the Montreal Canadiens affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs, scoring 7 goals in 33 games before formally ending his professional career.[6]
