'''David John Andreychuk''' (born September 29, 1963)<ref name=CHATLAS>{{Cite book|title=The Canadian Hockey Atlas|first=Stephen|last=Cole|publisher=Doubleday Canada|year=2006|isbn=978-0-385-66093-8|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/canadianhockeyat0000cole}}</ref> is a [[Ukrainian Canadians|Canadian]] former professional [[ice hockey]] [[Winger (ice hockey)|forward]] who played in the [[National Hockey League|NHL]] with the [[Buffalo Sabres]], [[Toronto Maple Leafs]], [[New Jersey Devils]], [[Boston Bruins]], [[Colorado Avalanche]], and [[Tampa Bay Lightning]]. He is one of the highest scoring left wingers in NHL history, and is in second place in career power-play goals (274) behind [[Alexander Ovechkin]]. He was inducted into the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] in 2017.

==Playing career==
Dave Andreychuk was drafted by the [[Buffalo Sabres]] from the [[Ontario Hockey League]]'s [[Oshawa Generals]] in the [[1982 NHL Entry Draft]] and played his first NHL season in [[1982–83 NHL season|1982–83]]. He went on to play 11 seasons in Buffalo before being traded on February 2, 1993, with [[Daren Puppa]], and a [[1993 NHL Entry Draft|1993]] first-round pick ([[Kenny Jönsson]]) to the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] in exchange for [[Grant Fuhr]] and a conditional [[1995 NHL Entry Draft|1995 fifth-round draft pick]]. He played for the Leafs until [[1995–96 NHL season|1995–96]] when he was traded to the [[New Jersey Devils]], where he stayed until [[1998–99 NHL season|1999]]. After New Jersey, he had short stints with the [[Boston Bruins]] ([[1999–2000 NHL season|1999–2000]]), [[Colorado Avalanche]] (2000), and Buffalo Sabres ([[2000–01 NHL season|2000–01]]), before settling with the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]] ([[2001–02 NHL season|2001–02]] to [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06]]).

His best season offensively was in 1993–94 when, with Toronto, he posted 53 goals and 99 points. The 1993 and 1994 playoffs also saw Andreychuk and the Maple Leafs advance to the Conference Finals, where they lost to the [[Los Angeles Kings]] and the [[Vancouver Canucks]], respectively.  As a result of his successful stint with the team, many Maple Leafs' fans still affectionately refer to him simply as "Uncle Dave".{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} Andreychuk referred to the famed 1993 run in particular as particularly heartbreaking, as Toronto was eliminated in game seven negating the chance of a Toronto–Montreal [[Stanley Cup Finals]] in the league's 75th anniversary season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/dave-andreychuk-haunted-by-missing-1993-stanley-cup-final/c-292894054?tid=283496592|title=Andreychuk haunted by missing 1993 Stanley Cup Final with Maple Leafs |work=[[National Hockey League]] | date = November 11, 2017 | access-date = November 12, 2017}}</ref>

As a member of the Boston Bruins on October 28, 1999, Andreychuk had a four-goal game versus Tampa Bay.

In the [[2001–02 NHL season]], Andreychuk made a shocking move which would pay dividends in the long run. Rather than sign with a [[Stanley Cup]] contender, he signed with the lowly [[Tampa Bay Lightning]], to which he was able to bring some much-needed veteran leadership.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/lightning-sign-andreychuk-ledyard-1.268833|title=Lightning sign Andreychuk, Ledyard |work=[[CBC Sports]] | date = 2001-07-17 | access-date = 2009-07-06}}</ref> The [[Tampa Bay Lightning|Lightning]] again missed the playoffs that season, and Andreychuk refused trades to contenders, stating his work with the team was not finished. In [[2002–03 NHL season|2002–03]], [[Tampa Bay Lightning|Lightning]] head coach [[John Tortorella]] appointed Andreychuk the [[Captain (hockey)|captain]], (succeeding [[Vincent Lecavalier]], who was stripped of the captaincy after the 2000–01 season) and Andreychuk promptly led the Lightning to the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons.

In the [[2003–04 NHL season]], Andreychuk continued as a key contributor for the Lightning offence, reaching 20 goals for the third consecutive year with the team.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/andreychuk-key-to-lightning-s-stanley-cup-hopes-1.466120|title=Andreychuk key to Lightning's Stanley Cup hopes |work=[[CBC Sports]] | date = 2004-03-21 | access-date = 2009-07-06}}</ref> Qualifying for the playoffs for a second consecutive year, Andreychuk helped the Lightning defeat the [[Calgary Flames]] in seven games to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. Andreychuk went 22 years without being on a [[Stanley Cup]] championship team, tying the NHL record with [[Ray Bourque]] for the longest career before doing so (Andreychuk had played 1597 regular-season games to that point, and only Bourque had played more career games before being on his first Stanley Cup-winning team).

Following the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]], Andreychuk returned to the Lightning for the [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06]] season. After the year off, Andreychuk's contributions decreased and on January 10, 2006, he was waived by the Lightning, bringing an end to his career.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/dave-andreychuk-clears-waivers-1.613140|title=Dave Andreychuk clears waivers |work=[[CBC Sports]] | date = 2006-01-11 | access-date = 2009-07-06}}</ref>

==Post-retirement==
[[Image:Mountain Arena.jpg|thumb|right|Dave Andreychuk Mountain Arena]]
On October 1, 2006, Andreychuk rejoined the Lightning as a Community Representative.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.qnhl.com/Dave-Andreychuck-rejoins-Lightning-as-Community-Representative-t-1907.html|title=Dave Andreychuk rejoins Lightning as Community Representative |publisher=Yahoo | date = 2006-09-28 | access-date = 2009-07-06}}</ref>

In 2005, the city of Hamilton renamed the Mountain Arena, following renovations, the [[Dave Andreychuk Mountain Arena & Skating Centre]] in his honour.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bringthenhltohamilton.com/mountain_arena.html |title=Dave Andreychuk Mountain Arena |publisher=bringnhltohamilton.com |date=2008-03-20 |access-date=2008-11-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101004162225/http://www.bringthenhltohamilton.com/mountain_arena.html |archive-date=October 4, 2010 |df=mdy }}</ref> On November 28, 2008, he was inducted into the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame.<ref>{{cite news |last=Harrington |first=Mike |date=November 28, 2008 |title=Fans give Andreychuk an ovation |url=http://www.buffalonews.com/buffalosabres/story/507762.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202081837/https://www.buffalonews.com/buffalosabres/story/507762.html |archive-date=December 2, 2008 |access-date=December 1, 2008 |newspaper=The Buffalo News}}</ref>

On February 4, 2011, the Tampa Bay Lightning named Andreychuk as their Vice President in charge of fans.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lightning Name Dave Andreychuk, Phil Esposito to Vice President Positions|url=http://lightning.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=551691|publisher=Tampa Bay Lightning|access-date=14 August 2015|date=4 February 2011}}</ref> He currently serves as the Lightning's Vice President of Corporate & Community Affairs.

== Personal life ==
Andreychuk has three daughters with Susan Braunscheidel, whom he divorced in 2019 after 28 years of marriage.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://unicourt.com/case/fl-hil-andreychuk-david-j-vs-andreychuk-susan-m-445301 | title = ANDREYCHUK, DAVID J vs ANDREYCHUK, SUSAN M | publisher = unicourt.com | date = 2019-11-25 | access-date = 2024-02-26}}</ref> Prior to his appointment in the Lightning's front office, Andreychuk and his family resided in [[East Amherst, New York]].

Following his retirement from professional sport, Andreychuk also founded the Dave Andreychuk Foundation as a way of giving back to the community.  The foundation has two branches, a Canadian one in Andreychuk's home town of [[Hamilton, Ontario]], and a U.S. one in [[Tampa, Florida]] where he currently lives.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://hockey-blog-in-canada.blogspot.com/2011/02/charitable-donations-dave-andreychuk.html | title = Charitable Donations: Dave Andreychuk Foundation | website = hockeyblogincanada.com | date = 2011-02-03 | access-date = 2011-02-03}}</ref>  The goals of the foundation are three-fold:  1. Assist children in need, 2. Support causes for children and families enduring chronic and/or life-threatening illness, and 3. Encourage the investment of youth and amateur sports.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.daveandreychukfoundation.com/ | title = Foundation official site | publisher = DaveAndreychukFoundation.com | date = 2011-04-05 | access-date = 2011-04-05}}</ref>
