Timeline

1947

His father Peter Zezel Sr. immigrated from Srb (near Gračac), Croatia in 1947.

When Zezel Sr. arrived in Canada, he anglicized his family name from Žeželj.

1965

Peter Zezel (April 22, 1965 – May 26, 2009) was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who spent 15 seasons in the National Hockey League from 1984 to 1999.

Zezel was born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario.

Zezel was an alumnus of Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute.

1983

Zezel was selected 41st overall, in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, by the Philadelphia Flyers.

While he joined the NHL as a skilled offensive player and put up high scoring numbers in his first eight seasons, he spent the second half of his career primarily as a defensive specialist noted for his strong faceoff skills.

1984

Zezel joined the Flyers' lineup in the 1984–85 at the age of 19 and made an instant impact, finishing fifth in rookie scoring with 61 points and setting a team record 46 assists by a rookie.

He was part of a young Flyer team (with eight regulars under the age of 22, and only Mark Howe over the age of 27) which surprised the hockey world by reaching the Stanley Cup Finals, where they were defeated by the Edmonton Oilers.

The Flyers' head coach at the time was Mike Keenan, who became one of Zezel's biggest influences, and who would re-acquire Zezel several times later in their careers.

When Zezel was in Philadelphia, his family hosted young Wendel Clark.

Clark would stay in Zezel's room during the regular season with Zezel's family.

1986

After a 54-point sophomore campaign, Zezel had his best year in 1986–87, registering career highs of 33 goals and 72 points (despite missing nine games to injury) while continuing to impress with his mature all-around game.

That spring, he would again help the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Finals, registering 13 points before the team was again bested by the Oilers.

1988

The Flyers dealt Zezel to the St. Louis Blues midway through the 1988–89 in exchange for Mike Bullard.

Zezel played some of the best hockey of his career for the Blues, finishing the season with a career high 49 assists and 70 points.

In the playoffs that year, he led the Blues with six goals and 12 points in just 10 games.

1989

In 1989–90, he had another fine season, posting 25 goals and 72 points.

1990

In 1990, St. Louis dealt him to the Washington Capitals for Geoff Courtnall.

His stay in Washington was brief, as he appeared in only 20 games before being dealt to his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs in a deal for Al Iafrate.

He finished the 1990–91 season with 40 points in 52 games due to injury.

1991

In 1991–92, he recorded 49 points in 64 games in another year hampered by injury.

1992

The hiring of Pat Burns as the Maple Leafs' head coach in 1992 represented a turning point in Zezel's career.

While he had previously always been given a great deal of offensive responsibility, the defensive-minded Burns employed Zezel almost exclusively as a checking line center, and his numbers plummeted.

1993

Additionally, he continued to be plagued by injuries, missing half the 1993–94 season with an ongoing back problems that had bothered him for several years.

On Oct 16 1993 Zezel had a freak accident during warm up vs a game against the Red Wings.

The team was warming up on the ice.

Zezel ruptured a disc in his lower back while taking a practice shot.

He was bed ridden for three days.

His house mate Wendel Clark reported Zezel was in extreme pain.

His back was so swollen, that doctors could not take X-rays for days.

However, when healthy he was still an effective player, and helped Toronto reach the Western Conference Finals in both 1993 and 1994, including a Game 1 overtime winner in 1994.

1994

In the summer of 1994, Zezel was awarded to the Dallas Stars as compensation for the Leafs' signing of free agent Mike Craig.

His one season in Dallas was a disappointment, as he was limited to just 30 games and 11 points by a knee injury.

1995

For 1995–96, he was signed by the St. Louis Blues and his old coach Keenan.

1997

Dealt to the New Jersey Devils in 1997, his career hit a low point in the 1997–98 campaign when he was sent to the minors for the first time in his career.

He performed well in the AHL with 50 points in 35 games for the Albany River Rats.

1998

Keenan, who was now coaching in Vancouver, had Zezel acquired by the Canucks in February 1998.

There, Zezel was given a chance to contribute offensively alongside star winger Alexander Mogilny, and he responded with 17 points in 25 games, including a goal on his first shift as a Canuck.

Zezel's career ended abruptly at the trade deadline late in the 1998–99 season.
