Lou Lamoriello– Architect of three Stanley Cup winners |
Many former Hockey East players have found success in the NHL, and several have had their names engraved on the Stanley Cup as well.
During the New York Rangers' championship run in 1994, Boston College product Brian Leetch became the first Hockey East alum (and the first American) to win the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded to the Stanley Cup Tournament's Most Valuable Player.
Lou Lamoriello, one of the founding fathers of Hockey East, has sipped from the Cup as an administrator three times with the New Jersey Devils.
Below is a list of former Hockey East players who helped their teams win the Stanley Cup.
