Marian Hossa Career

Playing career

Hossa participated in the 1993 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a Bratislava team as a youth.

In the 1997 NHL Entry Draft from Dukla Trenn of the Ottawa Senators, Hossa was drafted in the first round, 12th overall by the Ottawa Senators. He was voted fifth overall by the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL) in 1997, just five years later, earning his major junior rights in the case that he did not immediately stick with the Senators in the NHL.

Hossa was sent to junior by the Senators after seven games in the NHL, earning him the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as WHL rookie of the year and CHL and WHL West First Team All-Star honors. He led the Winterhawks to a President's Cup as WHL champions en route to the 1998 Memorial Cup championship. Guelph Storm, Hossa's third period of a tense championship match against the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), collided with Guelph's Ryan Davis, causing him to miss the game due to his knee injury. The Winterhawks carried on to clinch the championship in overtime, and Hossa returned to the ice on a chair as his colleagues pushed him around with the Memorial Cup to celebrate the win. Hossa was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star team alongside teammate Andrej Podkonick, who scored seven points in four tournament games.

Hossa's rookie season (1998–99) ended with injury, which prevented him from joining the Senators in December. Despite missing two months, Hossa scored 15 goals and 15 assists in 60 games, earning NHL All-Rookie honors and finishing second in Calder Memorial Trophy voting for rookie of the year.

Hossa's goal and 56 points increased in 1999-2000. However, he was blamed for an on-ice crash in which he high-sticked Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Bryan Berard on the follow-through of an attempted shot late in the season. The resulting one-inch laceration had almost caused doctors to have the eye removed from the eye and almost ended Berard's playing career. Hossa visited Berard in hospital the next day to apologize for his abduction, which Berard denied him of any responsibility.

In 2000–01, Hossa scored 32 goals and 75 points, finishing second in team scoring behind Alexei Yashin and making his first NHL All-Star Game appearance in Denver. Hossa's rookie deal came to an end in the following off-season, and he became a restricted free agent. Hossa sat out the first two weeks before committing a three-year, $8.5 million contract on September 26, 2001, unable to come to terms before training camp for the 2001-02 season. Despite Hossa's lucrative new deal, his sales will decline to 66 points in the first year.

While playing in the 2003 NHL All-Star Game in Sunrise, Florida, Hossa will return to form in 2002-03 with a career-high 45 goals and a team-leading 80 points. He led the Senators to a long playoff run in which they were eventually eliminated in seven games by the eventual Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils in the Eastern Conference Finals. In 18 post-season games, Hossa led the Senators with 16 points. He led the Senators in scoring for the second straight season in the first season, with a personal record of 82 points and then four points in seven games in the playoffs, before the Senators were defeated by the Maple Leafs in the first round.

Hossa spent the 2004–05 season in Europe as a result of the 2004-05 NHL lockout. After 19 games with former club Dukla Trenn, beginning the season in Slovakia, Marcel joined Mora IK of the Swedish Elitserien to play with his younger brother Marcel. Hossa returned to Dukla Trenn, where he scored 32 points in 24 games with Mora IK, where he finished the season with 42 points in 22 games with the team.

With NHL play returning to the following season in 2005–06, and Hossa's previous deal with the Senators ended, he agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract. However, the contract confirmed that he and defensiveman Greg de Vries for all star forward Dany Heatley, who had requested a trade after teammate Dan Snyder's death in a car accident in which Heatley was found guilty. In his first season with the Thrashers, Hossa met winger Ilya Kovalchuk and scored 39 goals and 53 assists for 92 points, beating his previous personal record by ten points.

Hossa made franchise history by winning with 43 goals and 57 assists in one season, as well as a plus/minus rating of +18. He was selected to his third All-Star Game in Dallas, where he had four assists. Hossa had two assists against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the final game of the regular season, bringing the franchise's single-season points record. The Thrashers' first division championship and post-season appearance also marked the season, clinching the Southeast Division title for the third time in the Southeast Division. Hossa was unable to score in four games after the Thrashers were eliminated in the first round by the New York Rangers, but Hossa managed just one point in four games.

The team and Hossa could not decide on a contract extension in the last year of his association with the Thrashers in 2007-08, along with Pascal Dupuis, in exchange for Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, prospect Angelo Esposito, and the Penguins' first-round pick in 2008. (Daultan Leveille). Hossa sustained his medial collateral ligament (MCL) in a knee-on-knee collision with Boston Bruins Glen Murray. Hossa skipped the next six games before returning to the team for the remainder of the regular season, playing on a line with Dupuis and Sidney Crosby. Hossa played in 66 games split between the Thrashers and Penguins during the regular season. Although he was still with the Thrashers as the host-city, he appeared in his fourth All-Star Game.

Hossa played a crucial role in the Penguins' run to the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals, compiling an already high-powered offense led by Evgeni Malkin and Crosby. In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, he scored his second of the season, beating Henrik Lundqvist to clinch the series, putting the Penguins in the Conference Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers. Hossa and the Penguins defeated the Detroit Red Wings in the Final after eliminating the Flyers in five games. Hossa scored his team-leading 12th and final post-season goal in game five to keep the Penguins within one goal after scoring the first goal in game five to prevent elimination in a triple-overtime victory. However, the Penguins were eventually defeated by the Red Wings 3–2. Hossa was almost forced overtime with the tie goal, but goaltender Chris Osgood was suspended in the game's final seconds. With 26 points, He finished third in playoff scoring, behind Conn Smythe Trophy winner Henrik Zetterberg of the Red Wings and linemate Sidney Crosby. As indicated by previous playoff dry spells with the Senators and Thrashers, Hossa's appearance boosted his reputation for post-season underachievement.

Despite a reported five-year contract offer from the Penguins in an attempt to keep his jobs, Hossa agreed to a one-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings worth $7.45 million. According to rumors, Hossa turned down a multi-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers worth at least $9 million per season. Hossa explained that he decided on the shorter-term contract in the hopes of a greater chance of winning a Stanley Cup with the Red Wings. Hossa's number 18, in the Red Wings' veteran forward Kirk Maltby's first appearance as a Red Wings fan, has risen to 81 in Detroit. On October 18, Hossa scored his first goal as a Red Wing, defeating the New York Rangers in overtime, marking his 300th goal of his career. In his return to Pittsburgh with the Red Wings on February 8, the Pittsburgh fans booed him heavily.

Hossa was taken off the board in a stretcher after losing head first into the boards following a check by St. Louis Blues defenceman Roman Polák on March 3, 2009. After being stuck motionless on the ice for several minutes, it was revealed that Hossa suffered from minor neck injuries in addition to minor neck pains, and was listed as day-to-day. Despite the injury, Hossa returned to finish the season with a team-leading 40 goals for his third straight 40-goals season.

Hossa was quoted as saying he would like to sign a long-term deal with the Red Wings for the forthcoming season on March 23, 2009, which was late in the regular season. He also stated that he would be able to spend less money to continue to play for Detroit, adding, "I know if I go somewhere else, I might have more, but I'm willing to take less to remain here." Hopefully, the things work out." Hossa's remarks came just months after the Red Wings signed forward Henrik Zetterberg to a 12-year contract extension.

Hossa spent time with his former team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, as the Red Wings returned to defend their 2008 Stanley Cup championship for the second year in a row. The possibility of Hossa losing to the team he left in order to win a Stanley Cup championship attracted significant media coverage. Hossa said the Penguins' meeting in the finals would certainly be exciting," prior to excluding the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Finals. In the seventh game, Hossa did, in fact, lose to his former team, losing by a 2–1 margin. Hossa's answer was immediate after the game: "Regret?" asked the Penguins' captain after the game. I don't regret it. If I sign in Pittsburgh, it could be different players, and they may not sign any other players, resulting in a different team." Hossa recorded six goals and nine assists in the 2009 playoffs, totaling 15 points over 23 games.

Hossa agreed to a 12-year deal with the Chicago Blackhawks worth $62.8 million on July 1, 2009. In the first eight years, the deal was front-loaded with $59.3 million, with an average cap hit of $5.2 million per year. Before defenseman Duncan Keith, who signed a 13-year, $72 million contract a few months later in December 2009, it was also the most lucrative contract in team history until then. The Blackhawks' signing Hossa coincided with the departure of Martin Havlát, the team's top scorer and MVP from the previous season, to the Minnesota Wild the same day. The club revealed that the veteran forward was also rehabbing a shoulder injury sustained during the previous offseason. Hossa was forced to have surgery and put him off the first eight weeks of the season due to the injury.

In early August, Hossa's labor talks became the subject of controversies. The Ottawa Sun first announced on July that the NHL had launched an investigation into Hossa's long-term contract. Since the deal is front-loaded and expires before Hossa's 42th birthday, it was speculated that resignation before the contract's end was part of the Blackhawks' talks. A such deal would be deemed by the NHL as a circumvention of the salary cap and the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), and it would be subject to fines or the loss of draft picks. Despite the fact that the NHL did not fine or fine the Blackhawks, they later introduced a new rule banning teams from front-loading contracts as effectively as the Blackhawks did with Hossa.

Hossa made his Blackhawks debut against the San Jose Sharks on November 25, 2009, scoring twice, including a short-handed goal in the second period of the game.

Hossa's first playoff game, in 2010, earned a five-minute big penalty for boarding Nashville Predators defenceman Dan Hamhuis. Hossa's teammate Patrick Kane tied the game with 13.6 seconds remaining in regulation. Hossa scored the game-winning goal right after getting out of the penalty box in the ensuing overtime. Since Hamhuis was not hurt, the NHL did not fine or suspend Hossa. The Chicago Blackhawks defeated the San Jose Sharks in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals for the third year in a row, and the first in the NHL. Fans and the press had sluggish to win the Stanley Cup when heading to the "Hossa Curse" or the "Hossa Hex" in the finals. Ritch Winter, Hossa's third year in the Stanley Cup Finals was no coincidence, with Winter claiming that they had used a mathematical formula to select the teams most likely to gain at least 100 points in the 2009–10 regular season. Hossa lifted his first Stanley Cup on June 9, 2010, a first for the first time. During the team's pass-around, Chicago captain Jonathan Toews handed the Cup to Hossa first. Hossa was the first player in NHL history to advance to the Finals in three seasons with three different clubs, a feat that would later be repeated by Corey Perry.

In the second annual All-Star Fantasy Draft for the 2012 All-Star Game, Hossa was ranked eighth overall by Team Chara in 2011. In a 12–9 victory over Team Alfredsson, Hossa scored one goal and two assists. Hossa scored in his 970th game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 20, 2012, scoring 417 goals and 483 assists. After being struck by the Phoenix Coyotes' Raffi Torres in Game 3 of the 2012 Western Conference Quarterfinals, he was taken off the ice on a stretcher and briefly hospitalized. The Torres were suspended 25 games by the NHL for the tragedy, but it was later reduced to 21 games as a result of an NHL Players' Association (NHLPA) lawsuit.

Hossa returned to action in time for the 2012–13 season, but not quite so much. In the 48-game season, he scored 17 goals and 14 assists, finishing third on the team with 31 points. He also appeared in his 1,000th game on March 3, 2013, en route to a 2–1 victory over Detroit. As the Blackhawks eventually defeated the Boston Bruins to win the Stanley Cup in the Finals, Hossa scored seven goals and nine assists for 16 points in the 2013 playoffs. Hossa's appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals was his third appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals in the last six seasons.

Hossa scored his 1,000th career point against the Ottawa Senators on October 30, his eighth appearance in NHL history. Hossa and the Blackhawks won the Cup for the third time in six seasons after Chicago's Game 6 triumph over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Finals on June 15th.

Prior to the 2016–17 season, Hossa treated off-season training differently. To increase his stamina and endurance, he went more cardio-intensive workouts. Hossa scored his 500th NHL goal in a 7-4 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Flyers on October 18, 2016, on October 18th. Hossa was the second NHL player born in Slovakia to score more (Stan Mikita) and the fifth Blackhawks player to reach his 500th game (British); Michel Goulet; Peter Bondra. Hossa resurrects themselves in 2016 by scoring 26 goals and 19 assists.

The Blackhawks announced that Hossa had eczema, a progressive skin disease, and he would miss the entire 2017-18 season while receiving medical attention. Hossa was officially placed on long-term injured reserve by the Blackhawks on October 4, 2017. Hossa announced in May that he could no longer play competitive hockey due to Hossa's skin disease. If it wasn't for his health, Hossa believes he may have continued playing a few more years.

In exchange for Marcus Kruger, MacKenzie Entwistle, Jordan Maletta, Andrew Campbell, and the third-round draft pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, the Chicago Blackhawks sold Hossa's deal, as well as forward Vinnie Hinostroza, defenseman Jordan Oesterle, Andrew Campbell, and third-round draft pick in the 2019 NHL Draft.

Hossa was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on June 24, 2020. Following Stan Mikita and Peter astn, he is the third Slovak-born player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Although under contract, Hossa is only the second member to attend the Hall of Fame. Chris Pronger, who was injured and under contract by Arizona when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015, is a member of the Arizona crew.

Since his deal came to an end, Hossa expressed an interest in returning to the Blackhawks organization. During a 2019 interview, he said, "I would love to do," so we'll see what happens after my term is ended, but there is no love for me or outstanding people I had the privilege to work with. That will be something I look forward to and we'll have a good chat and we'll see what's going to happen."

On April 7, 2022, Hossa officially resigned as a Blackhawk after a ceremonial one-day contract. Hossa's number 81 will be retired by the Blackhawks in the 2022-23 NHL season.
