Donald Brashear (born January 7, 1972) is an American professional hockey player currently playing for Jonquière Marquis in the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH). He previously played for five organizations in the National Hockey League (NHL) over a 23-year pro career, in which he played the role of an enforcer.
He was among the NHL leaders in penalty minutes for six seasons, while finishing his career 15th all-time in penalty minutes. He remains the Vancouver Canucks' all-time single-season leader in penalty minutes, which he set in the 1997–98 season.
He was involved in one of the most publicized incidents of on-ice violence in NHL history during the 1999–2000 season, when he was slashed in the head by Marty McSorley.[1]
