Timeline

1974

Eric Cairns (born June 27, 1974) is a Canadian former ice hockey defenceman and current director of player development for the New York Islanders.

1992

Drafted in the third round of the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers.

He began his second year of professional hockey with the Charlotte Checkers in the ECHL where he played 14 games before the Rangers promoted him to the Binghamton Rangers of the AHL.

A year later was playing in the NHL with the New York Rangers, where he spent several seasons before being placed on waivers.

1996

Since entering the league in the 1996–1997 season with the Rangers, Cairns accumulated 1,117 penalty minutes, 10 goals, and 32 assists.

During his tenure with the Islanders, Cairns was actively involved in the team's rivalry with the Rangers, particularly feuding with Theo Fleury, Sandy McCarthy, Matthew Barnaby and Dale Purinton.

1998

The Rangers' crosstown rivals, the New York Islanders, claimed Cairns on December 22, 1998.

He played six seasons with the team before they declined to renew his contract.

2001

In a game on November 8, 2001, McCarthy challenged Cairns to a fight; initially, Cairns declined, but he later chased McCarthy down the ice into the Islanders' zone.

During this time, McCarthy scored on a rebound.

As McCarthy celebrated, Cairns gave him a jab to the jaw, which led to a fight between Cairns and Steve McKenna.

Afterward, with Cairns in the penalty box, Fleury mocked him by flapping his arms like a chicken to suggest that Cairns was afraid to fight McCarthy, who flexed his biceps and looked at Cairns.

In the next game between the two teams, on December 21, Cairns and McCarthy fought at the beginning of the first period following an early Islanders goal.

Cairns won the fight, and McCarthy said of him after the game, "I never said he wasn't a tough guy."

2004

After the 2004–05 NHL lockout the Florida Panthers signed him as a free agent.

Cairns was then traded to the Penguins mid-season.

In another incident on February 19, 2004, Dale Purinton beat Cairns in a fight and punched him after he was down on the ice.

The rest of the game included a number of fights.

Cairns called Purinton "gutless."

A week later, on February 26, the Islanders and Rangers again faced off.

Cairns and Purinton came together, and as Cairns began to throw punches, Purinton elbowed Cairns in the face before Purinton dropped to the ice and turtled.

Cairns let Purinton get up and challenged him, but Purinton refused to fight.

Barry Melrose criticized Purinton for declining the chance to fight Cairns in a fair match.

During the lockout, Cairns played for the London Racers.

2005

On March 23, 2005, he was involved in a notorious fight with Wade Belak (playing for Coventry Blaze), during which he punched a linesman.

Cairns was called initially for a slashing major against Andre Payette and then threw a punch at an official who was escorting him to the penalty box.

Cairns skated around the rink for about a minute threatening the officials, unable to lose his teammates who were attempting to ensure he did not further escalate the incident.

Instead of leaving the ice, Cairns instead skated to the Coventry bench where he threw a punch which resulted in a bench-clearing brawl.

He was suspended for the remainder of the season and the entire next season in all IIHF tournaments, although the NHL allowed him to return the following year.

2006

His last season (2006) was with the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL.

He missed most of the 2006–2007 season with post-concussion syndrome and various other injuries.

Cairns, an enforcer, received less playing time in his last year of play as the enforcer role became less prominent in the post-lockout NHL.

Cairns was acquired from Florida Panthers in January 2006 to strengthen the Penguins' defense and protect Sidney Crosby.

Amazingly, Cairns started with a goal against the New York Islanders.

Cairns is currently the Director of Player Development for the New York Islanders.
