John Van Boxmeer Biography

John Van Boxmeer is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on November 20, 1952 in Petrolia, Ontario, Canada.

John Van Boxmeer was considered a top prospect, and was drafted 14th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 1972. He was so highly regarded that he began his professional career by travelling to Moscow for the 1972 Summit Series at the request of tournament organizer Alan Eagleson, though he did not play in the famous series. He played 46 games for the Stanley Cup champion Canadiens in 1975–76, but his name, for unknown reasons, was left off the cup. Ultimately, Van Boxmeer had a tough time making a Montreal lineup which was very deep in talent, and rather than spend the majority of his time in the minor leagues, he requested a trade. He was dealt to the Colorado Rockies in 1976 in exchange for Craig Levie.

In Colorado, Van Boxmeer finally received the opportunity to establish himself as a full-time NHL player. When former Canadiens coach Scotty Bowman moved to the Buffalo Sabres, he acquired Van Boxmeer to bolster the Sabres’ blueline, recalling how he had reluctantly traded the defenceman in 1976. Van Boxmeer responded with a plus-40 season and helped the Sabres climb to first place in their division, and the defenseman’s best statistical seasons as a pro were in Buffalo.
