#39 - Arron Asham - 15 Seasons in the NHL, Community Champ and more!

Arron Asham played four seasons with the Red Deer
Rebels in the Western Hockey League.  He was drafted by the
Montreal Canadiens in the 3rd round of the 1996 National
Hockey League Draft. Asham went on to play 15 seasons
in the NHL, with Montreal, the New York Islanders, the New Jersey
Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and New York
Rangers.


Asham retired after the 2013-14 season.  He now works
for the New York Islanders in their alumni program and coaches
minor hockey with the Junior Islanders organization.  He has
also joined the insurance game, selling insurance in Long Island.
 Asham has been the driving force behind the Chance 2
Play charity golf tournament in his hometown of Portage la
Prairie, Manitoba.  The tournament raises money for children
to play sports in Central Manitoba, and has been in existence for
15 years before the postponement in the summer of 2020 due to
Covid.
