Junior hockey

Shaw joined the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) at the age of 17 in 1981–82. In his rookie season, Shaw led all 67's defencemen with 72 points, scoring 13 goals and adding 59 assists in 68 games, helping Ottawa into the playoffs. In 17 playoff games, Shaw scored a goal and 14 points, [2] as the 67's were swept by the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL finals. [3] In the 1982–83 season Shaw saw his offensive production improve in his second season with the 67's, scoring 12 goals and 78 points in 63 games. In nine playoff games, Shaw scored two goals and 11 points, [2] as the 67's lost to the Oshawa Generals in the Leyden Division finals.

In 1983–84, Shaw once again improved his offense, scoring 11 goals and 82 points in 68 games, helping the 67's to have the best record in the Leyden Division that season. In the playoffs, Shaw led the 67's in scoring, earning two goals and a team high 29 points in 13 games, [4] as Ottawa won the J. Ross Robertson Cup over the Kitchener Rangers, [5] and earned a berth in the 1984 Memorial Cup. At the Memorial Cup, Shaw had a goal and five points in five games, as the 67's won the championship, defeating the host Kitchener Rangers 7–2 in the final game at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. [5] Shaw was named to the 1983–84 OHL first all-star team, and won the Max Kaminsky Trophy, given to the most outstanding defenseman in the OHL. [4]

Professional career

Hartford Whalers

Shaw was originally drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the fifth round, 86th overall, in the 1982 NHL entry draft. [2] However, in April 1984, Red Wings general manager Jimmy Devellano told Shaw that the Red Wings would not sign him. His rights were traded to the Hartford Whalers for the Whalers' eighth round draft pick in the 1984 NHL entry draft on May 29, 1984. [4] [6]

Shaw joined the Whalers in for the 1984–85 season. He was assigned first to the Binghamton Whalers of the American Hockey League (AHL). However, Binghamton cut Shaw too and he was re-assigned to the Salt Lake Golden Eagles of the International Hockey League (IHL). Shaw refused assignment and left the team, hoping to play at Wilfrid Laurier University. Hartford threatened to sue Shaw, and forced him to join Salt Lake. [7] In 44 games with the Golden Eagles, Shaw had three goals and 32 points. He finished the season with Binghamton, where in 24 games, Shaw had a goal and 11 points. In eight playoff games with Binghamton, Shaw finished with a goal and nine points. [2]

He spent the majority of the 1985–86 in Binghamton, where in 64 games, Shaw scored 10 goals and 54 points. In five playoff games, Shaw earned two assists. [2] Shaw debuted with the Hartford Whalers in the 1985–86 NHL season. Shaw played in his first NHL game on February 18, 1986, a 5–4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. [8] Shaw recorded his first NHL point with an assist on Sylvain Turgeon's goal in an 8–2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on February 23. [9] Overall, he appeared in eight games, where he recorded two assists. [2]

In the 1986–87 season, Shaw struggled offensively compared to previous season, as in 77 games with Binghamton, he scored nine goals and 39 points, although, he found his offensive touch in the playoffs, finishing with a goal and nine points in 12 games. [2] Shaw won the Eddie Shore Award as the AHL's best defenceman and was named to the AHL's First All-Star Team. [10] Shaw was recalled by Hartford and made his 1986–87 NHL season debut on February 6, 1987 in a 5–2 win over the Washington Capitals. [11] He played in one more NHL game that season earning no points. [2] The following season, Shaw returned to Binghamton. He had a solid offensive season, scoring 12 goals and 62 points in 73 games. In four playoff games, Shaw led Binghamton in scoring with five points, all assists. [2] He was named an AHL First Team All-Star again. [12] Shaw again saw very limited action with Hartford in 1987–88, making his sole appearance in a 5–4 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on January 9, 1988, going pointless. [13]

Shaw began the 1988–89 season playing with HC Varese in Serie A in Italy, where in 35 games, he scored 10 goals and 40 points. [14] In 11 playoff games, Shaw had four goals and 12 points with Varese. HC Varese won its second championship that season on March 4, 1989. [15] Shaw returned to the Whalers organization on March 7, [16] at the end of the 1988–89 NHL season, where he appeared in three games. On March 29, 1989, Shaw scored his first career NHL goal against Vincent Riendeau of the St. Louis Blues in a 4–0 Whalers victory, his only point with the Whalers that season. [2] [17] Shaw made his playoffs debut on April 6, 1989 against the Montreal Canadiens [18] and appeared in three Stanley Cup playoff games for the Whalers. [2] On April 8, 1989, he scored his first career playoff goal and point, a game-tying goal to send the game to overtime against Brian Hayward of the Montreal Canadiens in a 5–4 loss. [19] Shaw signed a one-year contract extension with the Whalers in May 1989 with an additional one-year option. [16]

Shaw saw regular ice time with Hartford beginning in the 1989–90 season. [20] He appeared in 64 games, scoring three goals and 35 points. [2] On October 26, 1989, Shaw recorded four assists in a 7–3 victory against the New Jersey Devils. [21] In the 1990 Stanley Cup playoffs, Shaw led the Whalers in scoring, earning two goals and seven points in seven games, as the Whalers lost a thrilling first round series against the Boston Bruins. [22] In the third game of the series on April 9, 1990, Shaw scored a goal and added three assists for a four-point game in a 5–3 Hartford win. [23] Shaw was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team at the end of the season, [24] and named the Whalers best defenceman. [22]

In 1990–91, Shaw played in 72 games with Hartford, scoring four goals and 32 points to lead the Whalers defense in scoring. In six playoff games, Shaw recorded a goal and three points, [2] as Hartford lost to the Boston Bruins in the Adams Division semi-finals. In 62 games with the Whalers in 1991–92, Shaw scored three goals and 25 points, hampered by a wrist injury that required surgery in the offseason and uncomfortable with the Whalers' new coach Jimmy Roberts' strategy. Shaw saw action in only three of the Whalers' seven playoff games, earning an assist as the Whalers lost to the Montreal Canadiens in the opening playoff round. [2] [22]

On June 13, 1992, the Whalers new general manager, Brian Burke, traded Shaw to the New Jersey Devils for future considerations, [22] as the Whalers did not want to lose the defenceman for nothing. Shaw's stay with the Devils was short-lived, as five days later he was left unprotected in 1992 NHL expansion draft and was chosen by the Ottawa Senators. [25]

Ottawa Senators

Shaw was selected by the Ottawa Senators as part of a secret deal whereby if Ottawa did not select Viacheslav Fetisov of the New Jersey Devils, but another player, then New Jersey would send Ottawa a young player to complete the transaction. Shaw was named an alternate captain for the Senators. Shaw was on the ice for the opening faceoff in Ottawa's first game in their inaugural season in 1992–93. [26] Shaw played in 81 games with the Senators, scoring seven goals and 41 points. [2] On November 5, 1992, he had a multi-point game against the Calgary Flames, then again against the San Jose Sharks on January 10, 1993. [27]

Shaw was named a co-captain of the Senators with Mark Lamb to begin 1993–94, a position they both held until March when Lamb was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. [28] Gord Dineen was named a captain as his replacement that season. [29] In 66 games, Shaw had four goals and 23 points. [2] In the lockout-shortened 1994–95 season, Shaw appeared in only two games with the Senators, getting no points. He finished the year with the Atlanta Knights of the IHL, where in 26 games, he had a goal and 19 points. In five playoff games with Atlanta, Shaw had seven points. [2]

Detroit Vipers

Shaw joined the Detroit Vipers of the IHL as a player and an assistant coach to head coach Rick Dudley. [30] [31] In his first season with the club in 1995–96, Shaw had seven goals and 61 points in 79 games. In eight playoff games, Shaw had two goals and five points, [2] as Detroit lost to the Orlando Solar Bears. Shaw returned as a player-assistant coach with the Vipers in 1996–97, as Steve Ludzik was named the new head coach of the team. [32] In 59 games, Shaw had six goals and 38 points. In 21 playoff games, Shaw had two goals and 11 points [2] as the Vipers defeated the Long Beach Ice Dogs to win the Turner Cup. [32] In 1997–98 he played in 64 games, scoring two goals and 35 points. [2] He was on the ice for Gordie Howe's last shift in professional hockey on October 3, 1997. [33] In the playoffs, Shaw had a goal and 12 points in 23 games, [2] as the Vipers lost to the Chicago Wolves in seven games in the Turner Cup final. [34]

In 1998–99, Shaw began the season with the Vipers, where he scored 10 goals and 45 points in 61 games. [2] On March 8, 1999, Shaw signed an NHL contract with the Ottawa Senators, [35] as the Senators sought out defensive depth. Shaw was placed on waivers in order to return to Detroit, and was claimed by the Washington Capitals on March 9, who were also dealing with defensive depth issues. [36]

Washington Capitals

Shaw returned to the NHL with the Washington Capitals in 1998–99, appearing in four games with the club, recording no points. [2] He made his Capitals debut on March 10 versus the Florida Panthers and was on the ice for the Panthers' opening goal of the game in a 2–1 loss. [37] His stay with the Capitals was short, as on March 18, 1999, Shaw and the Capitals' eighth round draft pick in the 1999 NHL entry draft were traded to the St. Louis Blues for the Blues sixth round draft pick in the 1999 NHL entry draft. [38]

St. Louis Blues

Shaw finished the 1998–99 NHL season with the St. Louis Blues, earning no points in 12 games. [2] He made his Blues debut in a 3–2 loss to his former team, the Ottawa Senators, on March 20, 1999. [39] Shaw saw action in four playoff games, going pointless, [2] as the Blues lost to the Dallas Stars in the second round of the 1999 Stanley Cup playoffs. [40] Shaw announced his retirement from playing hockey following the season. [41]
