On this page, you will find a list of players who either played in the NHL for 20 seasons, or may have just been a first round draft pick by an NHL team, and where they are now. Some people are involved in NHL organizations and others are involved in University hockey. The main purpose of this page is to kind of be a guide for you if you are looking for an ex-NHL'er to mail to. I would appreciate your help, so just drop me a line. Thanks in advance!
