This Day In Hockey History (2/1)

Posted by on Feb 1, 2012 14:36

Well we have made it to February and so has This Day.  We searched near and far for a moment perfect for the start of the month and we think we found one.  Since the trade deadline is just weeks away, why not get the month going with yes a trade.  Before there was Mike Sillinger, who seemed to get traded every year, there was this guy who almost always seemed to be traded as well.  Today we have an odd sort of treat in the sense that before Sillinger, there was the immortal Brent Ashton.  As always, there is a little video before the moment.  Enjoy.

 

 

February 01, 1993

Calgary obtained Brent Ashton in trade from Boston, in exchange for C.J. Young. The Flames became Ashton’s eighth NHL team, tied for the most teams of any player in NHL history.

This is the type of moment we should have saved for 5/5 but sadly it happened on 2/1.  You will see the play on numbers below.  This moment happened 19 years ago today.
